| Scale Chevy K10 Chassis Build, Clod Body
Hi, new to the group but have been playing with crawlers for about a year. Decided i wanted to build a scale K10 chassis to go under a Clod Buster body. I found a drawing online, scaled it to fit the Clod body wheelbase and plasmer cut a test chassis Last edited by DrRucus; 11-26-2020 at 04:27 AM. Reason: typing error |

Once i was happy with the design i started to make it out of 1/2" box section. I cut and welded it till it was the right shape, normalised it in a kiln overnight, cut it in half then ground it flat. |

Thought I'd have a quick go at making a stainless steel bumper. Not bad for an hour's work. Now I'll take my time and make the propper one. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk |

I like the 5 slot wheels, reminds me of the trucks I saw when I was growing up, leaf suspension with coilless shocks looks good too. I especially like that rear crossmember where the shocks bolt to Last edited by Mike Flea; 12-03-2020 at 06:49 PM. |

I second the 5 slot wheels, definitely go perfect with a squarebody Chevy Are you going to keep or remove the intake on the hood? IMO, I think taking it off would look better. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Last edited by ScaleLifeNewbie; 03-12-2021 at 01:40 AM. |

Great project so far man! I vote slot mags also. Funny deal with the slot mags is I have like 5 sets IRL in 4,5 & 6 lug and from 13x5.5" to 15x10" and have had more years ago that I sold here and there but I have one set that I've never had that I seem to miss out on every few years, 8x6.5" bolt pattern in 16.5x9.75 or 16.5x12" I either dont have the money when they pop up forsale or I have the money and search for weeks never to find a set. I'm currently in the former situation where I have started seeing few sets but no $$. I think I might have to end up buying a set for RC just to pacify myself lol. Sorry if I missed it but whats info on the ones you got there? Like home printed job or send away for them type of deal? |
