Chevy 2500 Pickup

[YoungGunz]

Hey guys,

Started this build about a week ago, after collecting parts for quite some time. The truck is 1:10, I was trying to do a 1:14 in the beginning, however, parts for the larger scales is so much easier to work with. Anyways, started off with a cheap Rc body that I got off Ebay and bought and modified a trail finder chassis to go under the body. I'm shooting for a some what realistic stance and height on this one, hopefully I can get something close. Eventually I would like to get a sound unit for this, I think a diesel would be pretty neat.

Here is where I'm at now with the build:

Here is the modified chassis. Had to cut off an inch or two off the end, and move the rear axle up about the same. Since the original chassis has so much flex in the suspension, I decided to put some small shocks on it to restrict the travel, but still give it some articulation.









After getting the stance about right, I couldnt stand the look of the bed of the truck. It had the molding from a roll bar that was on it previously, so I went ahead and cut it out and began to make a new one from styrene. I'm just waiting for the putty to dry now so I can get to sanding it down.









Thats where I'm at now, should have some more tonight. Thanks for looking and suggestions are more than welcome!
