Rob's gmc pickup...

Well, here is my next project. After I showed my ratty ranchero to a friend he asked me if I could make a model of his pickup. The hardest part will be the bedliner. I could not find any material that looked remotely similar so I ended up having to build it from evergreen stock. The kit is the Fall Guy gmc pickup, a shortbed raised 4x4 while Rob's pickup is a 2x4 longbed so I had to buy two and modify..

pretty close to the real thing!!

That's a great idea for your boxliner, I believe you are the first I have ever seen to make one from scratch.

Nice start man.

I really like your fix for the bench seat :cool:

Good project!!!

wow, that is some nice scratch building that you have done.
im sure he will be happy w/the out come.

Well done! I like the process and the truck it self. Keep going that way!

Finnally an update, been busy and painting the bed gave me problems with bleed through. B.I.N. primer solved those but then i had some airbrush problems, been too long since I used that thing...

still wet from paint but is starting to come together.

It looks like your hard work is going to payoff nicely! Could you show a picture of the Bin paint can? I have heard about this product but, I have not found it yet.

Thanks,

Here you go Two Wheel! Home Depots' paint department has it, about $6...

Well done! I like the body.

Finally finished with the pickup. Here are the last wip pics and the finished model. Actually it's 99% done. Still waiting for the sierra and gmc decals for the wheel caps. Yes, his truck is that dirty... it's a wip too.

On wheels..

Looks dam good man!!! You can get the hubcaps in the A-Team van kit. I think they have the chevy logo on them tho. That is what I will use for my 1:1 suburban. The bedliner came out awsome!!!

That looks awesome. Great work!

That looks really good. Do you have any engine pics?

:wave:

Honestly; this is one of my favorite builds on here! Awesome idea and amazing outcome!!!

Awesome job you done
