Im building this kit now. Nice tires in a kit for a change. The bad thing, they are directional like real tires, but they are all made the same. The beads on the tires are thin on one side and thick on the other, making the rims fit a little tricky on 2 of them to make matching pairs.

I used to have a similar kit when I was a teenager. It was a Chevy stepside 4X4. The interior was identical to your kit. I've noticed it's a three speed in the column. As far as I know GM never put a three in a tree in the 4 wheel drives so what I did with mine was bent the column shifter to where the shit handle was visible over the dashboard looking at it from the front and snapped off the clutch pedal then filed it down to simulate an automatic. I also made it a "work in progress" truck and painted the front fenders and the stepsides a matte black like something a high school kid bought with his own money and fixing it up as he goes along

Was the dashboard short in your kit? Mine is short and doesn't fit properly on the seat tub. Trying to figure out how to mount the dashboard.

I have this on my bench now. I dechromed all those parts.

How did you cut out the center of the tires to get the wheels to fit properly? I’ve tried, but ruined all four tires. Could you do a how to video on how you did the tires? I had a ‘75 K20 pickup. I’m going to build a model of how I wanted my truck to look all fixed up.

As always, great video! Wish J could build models more often than I do. May be an odd thing to ask, but do you think this could be converted to standard 2 wheel drive? Possibly with some parts from a donor kit? I have a 74 chevy pickup, my first car, I’d like to build a model of. Thanks!

I originally bought with my own money a very nice example of a 83 Buick Regal Limited factory metallic brown and beautiful chocolate brown pillow top limited interior pkg but blown up Buick 231v6 had a fix for that but my cousin acquired a 84 black Buick Regal Limited factory red pinstripe and burgundy interior a a factory 305quadrajet 4bbl sbc th350c and the estate sale paperwork ugh no title so he really wanted to use the regal limited I had and we worked on a few deals on the drivetrain and the truck his dad my uncle actually had but that is awesome to hear that you had a 74 chevy c10!! If I was you if yours was a long bed I'd either try to acquire the original 4 monogram 78 Chevy k10 monster trucks or the 3 reissue ones, but if you look online you will run across two versions of the long bed square body box if that is what you need..

g man you have to cut out the inner part of the tires like the instructions say to. The kit does only supply driver side tires though that why removing the inner part is necessary. The passenger sides won’t be perfect on the rim but will be serviceable. I put a bead of super glue on the back side to help hold the tires on the rims.

Now you'll have to add the rust holes from all that mud you're getting under the fenders and box. It looks good, though. Since I have a full size 'GMC '78 long box 3'4 ton, I built an earlier, Monogram, copy of that kit. I lengthened the frame and used a resin cast long box on mine. My main problem was in trying to match the two tone yellow and cream paint job on my real truck.

As it's been said before me. The same kit was issued earlier as a Chevy C10 shortbed with stepside. They don't come cheap though. Here's an example: goo.gl/x6otCU If you can't find one (at a reasonable price) you can always look for resin cast parts.

I like to use Rust-Oleum for base colors as well. Great coverage and, honestly, a better price than hobby paint. What primer do you use? I use the R-O primer as well, but hit the styrene with a bunch of super light coats so it doesn't melt or distort then when I spray the color I can go a bit heavier.
