That would be cool with a matching truck...does anyone make a decent 1/18 Chevy truck. I'd really like to see a '68-'72 but have never found one.

Nice job! :thumbs:

I've wanted to do a set with a matching truck, but I just can't find the right truck. I was looking at an Anson 1/18 Silverado Duallie yesterday, but for some reason the scale looked off to me. It looked like it should be a bit bigger in scale. Oh hell, maybe I'll just do it anyway :lol: !

I made one last year for a '78 PC. The trailer part is easy, but finding 4 pace car wheels & tires is the hard part. At the time, I had gotten ahold of a PC with a peeling hood stripe decal (getting more common), so I turned it into a Muscle machine, which gave me 4 PC wheels. I sold the trailer, and unfortunately I don't have any pics of it anymore.

Somebody makes a mid 60's truck that is kind of cool. It needs bigger wheels and a different stance but it is neat. Let me know if you do the truck, I'd love to see it.

I may have saved those pics if they were yours ?? I have toyed with the idea of trying this but did not know where to find 1:18 decals for this ?? How did you do yours? I'll have to double check the pics as I didn't even realize you changed the rims !
