Made a suggestion about a Die-cast forum.
LIZ say's to start it here and see what happens so if you like playing with toy trucks please do it here.
I'll start with mine and see how it goes.
Here is one I built out of a JADA metal truck.
I put a wooden bed and used the outside trim for the bed strips. I put a set of 24" on the back and 20" on the front. Shaved all the emblems off and painted it pearl red. The wheel disc I made myself.

This Orange one I used a JADA truck and redid the doors,hood.

The black and silver was a proto type just seeing if I could fit the chassis under it. I think it worked out well.

This is a wix filter blazer I just added the wheels to.

Got the panel off of E-Bay a few years ago and had to modify it.

My Driver Seeing the USA in a 71 Upstate SC GM Truck Club 2013,14 and 2016 Hot Rod Pour Tour http://upstategmtrucks.com/ Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun! It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. Last edited by Andy4639; 08-25-2007 at 07:41 PM.
