thats awsome

I followed that build very closely. I am doing the same project, but backdating it to an '81. I just need an extra frame and an extra bed. I'm also looking for a Dodge Lil Red Express kit for the front suspension to do the 4x2 conversion to make my '81.

Sure. Here you go. Its the 84 GMC kit that I'm backdating and correcting. Backdating the exterior and correcting the interior. The other guy didn't correct the dash, I did. I'm taking the 1/2 ton 4x4 shortbed and turning it into a 3/4 ton 4x2 longbed.

oldblue72c10 · 06-14-2010, 12:24 AM

Scootin 81 C20 · 06-14-2010, 12:30 AM

I only need a handful of parts and a couple supplies to finish it, hopefully before someone offers to buy my truck.

I've got an '81-'82 Chevy Stepside kit by MPC called "Sodbuster" that I'm turning into John Winchester's truck from "Supernatural".

*87 chevy silverado* · 06-14-2010, 12:51 AM

Scootin 81 C20 · 06-14-2010, 12:54 AM

I know you were talking about your 87. I can experiment with body mods on the little ones to see how they'll look on the big one.

*87 chevy silverado* · 06-14-2010, 01:01 AM

good luck on the projects

I see you have a fleetside bed... would love to get a hold of a kit like that... when and where did you get it? Thanks in advance

lifted87 · 06-14-2010, 04:26 PM

any info on a kit would be awsome
thanks

Scootin 81 C20 · 06-14-2010, 05:18 PM

You can find it on ebay. It the 1984 GMC kit. It's made by AMT and has a blue GMC on the box. If you can find one, it's also the same kit as the old MPC Fall Guy kit.
