The Customizing is getting serious now! I have a couple of these that have taken headers off shelves and I think I can make one, really cool truck out of two. 

These things are really well constructed...it should be fun to make cool hauler! :)

The textured black side of an old mouse pad might make a nice flatbed roll back...

I need to swap over the passenger side mirror, but, most of all, it needs paint! Oh, and maybe a little bigger bumper too! :)

For CrzyTrkrDude,

This is an AMT 1/24 scale model that I sated a while ago...

I'm not sure what direction I'm going with the 1/64 scale one yet :)


  • go C10 go ! the alum. axle tubes can be bent to make those exhaust — fordman

And what do you do with the old chassis...

Of course, you put a spare '58 Chevy cab on it...I kinda like it :)


Yup, a rollback it is...

This is just mocked up, but it will go together soon :)

Shoot Man, THAT LOOKS GREAT!!!  And, with that long a wheel base, you could probably get away with a double hauler. Front car could be raised in the back, with the second car slide up under the rear axle of the first car. A little of the second hanging over would look good.  Maybe even a triple hauler, with a trailer?? 

Just don't forget... 13'6"...  Standard overpass height.... Lol

Something like this sorts, without the box...

  • I think I'll just haul one of my tri-5's or tractors around at a time :) — 72_Chevy_C10

Okay, here is the old Chevy rollback...

Along with a future Chevy shorted C50 build (what else would I do with the chassis that came out from under the '58?)


  • ohhhh, it's such a vicious circle isn't it??? LOL — CrzyTrkrDude
  • I see a '55 Chevy gasser engine and exhaust under that hood so clearly!!! — CrzyTrkrDude
  • it's like an old school Kodiak! — CrzyTrkrDude
  • I don't know what that C50 will evolve in to...should be cool though! — 72_Chevy_C10

Close to fitting correctly...

Fun stuff


The C50 is coming along...

Lots of little detailing to do, but I really like this dark green!

Doing a little more tinkering...here you have a stock Greenlight Chevy C10...

Now, in real life, I'm not a big fan of big wheels, but, at this scale...

It's only changing the wheels, but it makes a huge difference
