Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
thanks Dale
well, looks like i got hit in the head with murphys law-again.... months & months of searching, countless hrs looking everywhere for stepside fenders, buy an expensive set, & then buddy on a diff board is giving me this old busted up "Sneaky Pete" model. now i'm at a real dilemma, i'll have another cab to play with, do another truck, or take the cab & turn my '77 dually into a crew dually. i already have a SRW crew, dually crew would be a nice match..... |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
still undecided, would like to have one of each...but, i see Ron has updated his site & has mid '70's crews for $45....hmmm
http://www.rmrmodels.com/Products.html jeez.....2 trucks on the go.... visor was to big for the ext-cab, too small for the '77 instead of shortening or lengthening, i scratched one up. with a little more work i think it will pass for a lund.... the '77 is getting the 454, only modern tbi motor for the ext-cab i had was this 350. pic is a few days old, have the front dana 60's for both assembled, & front springs are in the ext-cab |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
Wow! I wish I had the patience and the talent you guys are doing on your die cast models. Just curious, are the parts expensive?

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
went & picked up my stepper from the P.O., the sneaky pete, i think the posties must have been playing football with it
the guy put all the loose parts in the ziplock, the knocked out engine, busted frame, & all the other assorted parts got knocked off in transit AND of course, the real reason for it & the only parts i really need......2 piece fender..... finally got the right style fenders, but they dont fit worth a darn... kinda glad i got the x-cab on the go, about 3 hrs of farting around on 1 fender.... took a break after this & finished the susp on the x-cab starting to resemble a dually now.... |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
That sucks about the broken pieces. It looks good sitting on it's own . Nice job on the fenders. You can always send some rain this way, we can sure use it.

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
yeah, the fender was a bummer, but i ended up cutting off the bottom anyways....
and yes, i wish we could send our rain down to ya! should have kept my mouth shut about our sunshine-sky opened up fri nite & is supposed to last 'till wed....  not looking forward to the '77's other fender, been kinda avoiding it, but i got the '96 pretty much ready for paint though the bush guard i modeled after the one on my buddy's '92, added some flaps, valve stems, hubs, all the shocks are done. just have to make some d-shafts & exhaust. i have some touch up paint from my 1:1 '90 stepper i will be using for color... printed up some mud flap decals, want to use the Lordco ones (my fav local auto parts supplier) but the blue mite clash with the body color, so made some chevy ones just in case.... |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
It's all looking great. The crew is going to be interesting to watch. We actually got some sprinkles of rain last night.

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
well, it did'nt become a crew, but it is a 1 ton dually with most of the susp in....
getting good at these visors-20 mins, still needs a little sanding & shaping, but 1/2 an hr altogether & done |
