’72 Chevy C/10 Pick Up

[Scale-Master]

I added the 2X4 across the front (styrene) and the bar across the back (brass). I also added the black rubber accents that were in some of the aluminum trim.

I installed the pop-up vent and a screen below it. It has the screw jack rod too.

All the windows have been installed…

Fantastic!

Love that camper!

[Scale-Master]

Thanks guys!

The wheels have been cast in resin, painted and weathered. The tires are Desert Dogs that I sanded the lettering off of. The size and tread pattern is a good match for the Remington’s I had on it. I’ll add the sidewall lettering and center caps later.

I found a bumper from an old Revell Custom Parts for Vans kit and modified it a little to look like the one on the truck.

I also made all the bumper stickers for it. Took me a lot longer to make them for this than it did to slap them on the real one…




And one for the front bumper…

The tire lettering and center cap decals have been applied.

I added the decals to the windows of the camper and the screw details around the windows.

It is up on its wheels.

I’ll align the bed to cab better when I mount them to the frame.

I added the rear license plate too.

So totally awesome!

Thanks guys. I'm having fun with it.


The interior is mostly done; still a few decals and details to add.

The seat had several Pep Boys cheapo seat covers installed on it. Where the foam padding wore out, I stuffed it with old towels. They were varying styles of southwestern patterns, whatever was in stock at the time. When one wore out, I’d put another on top of the others. It was a work truck and I spilled things while eating and driving. Plus the dog hair, oil, dust and whatever he tracked in.

The dash pad saw a lot of sun; it cracked and peeled something fierce. The gauge and radio decals came from an IPMS Convention sheet I did in 2007.

The steering wheel came from my Vega, still need to make the GT horn button… The Hurst T-Handle came from the same Vega.

The driver’s door sill had the paint worn through from a left arm resting on it and it kept rusting.
The floor mats were cut from photo paper; the real ones were just basic rubber mats, big enough to cover most of the rust holes.

I made a pattern for the side rear view mirrors and cast a couple in resin.

I made the mirror mounts from aluminum rod. I did not miss-drill the holes in the doors to attach them. The real truck was that way back when I bought it.
