Default hilift flatbed hybrid

this was a flatbed chevy I picked up from TattooKenny and converted it to an F-350 Cab that I got from Jrkilburn and added Hpi stock car wheels with hand bros rings, RC4WD outcroppers and a stock tamiya spare with matching wheel.

other specs include leaves up front, 4 link out back and tlt axles and hilift chassis shocks and 3 speed.

I plan on installing some electronics tonight and mounting the steering servo and making up some steering linkage. then I will be addressing some of the other items to make it a little more scale but I do not plan on going overboard with this one.....I will save that for my Flatbed Bruiser I am building to match my 1:1 1980 Yota flatbed

on to the pics

Got the electronics installed and took it on its maiden voyage in the front yard......all is well I just have to lock the rear axle and take it to my favorite crawling spot

I have a Bruiser cab coming so I will be able to swap between yota and F350

Looks like a good combo the wheels and body go well together.
