Silverado Dually in 1/14

[SonoranWraith]

Thanks for all the comments.

@Thorsteenster - Thanks for the offer. If my deal doesn't pan out I'll hit you up.

@tanker yanker - I don't think so, I'm favoring a boring large rear single exhaust.

@TINY-TRUCKER - The bed will need modified quite a bit. It is really short and duallys of this variety are long bed. I have to add between the cab and rear axle and behind the axle to the bumper. Then of course I have to add the wide bodywork. As far as fit, everything looks good so far.

Cool pickup, about time we got some smaller 1/14 scale trucks!

That is some nice sytrene work. Really nice. I've never had the patience for playing with styrene much. I've tried and it takes me 3 or 4 tries to get things looking good to my eyes, but your joints and body work looks really smooth. I like the low pro tires! Should be a really sharp truck when it's done. Keep it up.

Very nice styrene work. Looks the part already. Might I ask what adhesive your using? Ive tried a few different ones with varied results. Lookin good!

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Very nice start! It will be great to see a true scale pickup to the semis..

I hope to get back on this soon. Little league is over this weekend then holiday and maybe some spare time but I am starting new job too so who knows.

I use MEK. TC buys it in larger quantities than I do but you can get it at HD.

I do have to correct the truckbed though. I didn't know when I started, but the longbed has different rear overhang than a shortbed. So 1cm or so will be removed from front and added between taillight and rear wheelwell.

Nicew hack job so far! Q - how did you get that Styrene to make the nice curves for the bed extension??? That's a trick I have yet to learn...

Also those tires turned out great! they're gonna look like 22's or 24's on that Dually ......

I like the idea, the build looks great. Awsome job on the styrene. I am converting a Ford Super duty, 1/14 size as well. I am wanting to get another body and make an ambulance one of these days.

I am going to be getting some tires like you go there, looks good, I may have to do something like that on my ambulance.

OK the beautiful winter is over so time for some more work. I cut the bed down last weekend on the table saw. Was more of PIA than I thought it would be but I got it done. Now I just need to cut it apart again to get the rear overhang done.

cool! can't wait to see the chassis.

I was wondering when an update would come for this build! (If there were a popcorn-eating-smiley thingy, I'd insert it here)

[Pippoe]

Interesting build. Thumbs up!

I've seen these trucks on the Bay.. How is the scale compared to a Tamiya?

Cheers

Here is a pic of the revised bed shortened between the cab and rear wheel well.


Pippoe - The scale is 1/14 pretty closely on all measurements that I have done to 1:1.

[pigeonfarmboy]

Gonna be cool for sure!

[Stuff]

[skl1cent]

[mototodo]

Nice work. That's going to be a long pickup.

You gotta love the duely pickups with 11x22.5 low pros, lowerd, they look amazing. Nice job on an original and ball busting build. I give it 2 thumbs up.
