- I recently picked up the MPC "Sod Buster" 1981 Chevy pickup. I was wanting to make a stock version out of it, and possibly 2WD. Are aftermarket steelies and dog dish caps available somewhere? Also, if I want to convert to 2WD... *PIC*
- Seems like a logical opportunity for the resin community or 3D - but nothing I'm aware of yet
- What about MPC 1980 Monto Caelo? Front clip. *NM*
- Maybe a later or older model chevy pickup 2wd? Or the MPC Dodge D-series pickup that's out. -----
- I'm not a truck guy but Fireball Modelworks has a LOT of resin truck stuff. Something he has just might work for you. *NM*
- The '81 C K trucks have IFS..seems to me you could use the IFS from the '64C10. Probably close enough. *NM*
- Didn't the middle-generation GM Vans use the same chassis as Squarebody?
- Just did some grokking online - some of the parts in the front suspension of the '70-95 "G" Van will interchange with the '73-87 Squarebody pickup, so if there's one in the stack, go for it.
- Why, yes they did,, front suspension at least. , , I have used AMT van front suspension under one of those MPC pickups before , , , [PICS] I just looked up the control arms, same parts. same parts #.
- Thanks very much for all the replies, suggestions and advice, everyone! I now know a lot more than I did 24 hrs ago!!
