Default Chevy k1500

I was up until 4 this morning and i figured why not redo my Chevy body I have all beat up in the garage... sooo, I got out some paint and painted it up, but the orange got a little screwed up because of the temp. I was painting in. But... here she is, I'll touch up those bad spots when it gets nicer out.



This was the last paintjob before I beat it all to hell.


I think it turned out pretty good for how tired I was. What do you think?

I got the body off of an rc I had when I was little... it was like 10 years ago, it was a MonsterPatrol truck made by RadioShack. and it originally had a bed but I cut that off because the wheelbase is way to short for my likings... and if you look on Ebay, one pops up every now and then. I think that when I beat it up some more I'll repaint it with a different orange and gray two tone scheme because the orange I used doesnt lay as nice as charcoal gray automotive paint. Thanks for the comments Everyone this thing has alot of mods ahead of it in the near future

Been looking for one of those body's for months with no luck. There hasnt been one on e-bay in the past 6 months.
Mite have to break down and use one of my Clod bodies.

bluegroove on ebay has a lexan version of the 88-98 silvy now. I just got the 2 first pulls, (i sent him the original). I think one was from .030, and one .040, the .030 has good grill detail the other looses some. They are good looking bodies, well proportioned. They have a lund looking cab extender piece, and a spare in the bed, but, I think he is going to do another version with these blanked out when he gets a chance.
