I started on the truck bed last night.

This is what it looks like in the beginning, it needs built up and shaped out, but this is how you start it. My problem is I ran out of a particular thickness of styrene, so its time to hit the online Hobby Shop.

This is what I have so far. I'm stuck waiting for parts (and now styrene). Tranfer case, shocks, tires, leaf springs and drive shafts. I have to wait on the axles, I want a certain kind, and they are more than my wallet can handle at the moment.

I need help, every picture I look at of a 67-72 truck, I have difficulty telling if the front and rear wheel wells, have the same basic size and shape... Are they the same or is the rear just a skoosh lower then the front fender (wheel well) ???
