|  Anyone has the new Pro-Line Chevy 1980 pickup truck body?
I wanna get the Pro-line Chevy 80s pickup body(the long bed version~19" length). Does anyone here have a setup with this body and 1.9 tires and wheels? I need some pics as reference so I can decide between getting 1.9s or 2.2s for this body. thanks |

I just got the shortbed version of the 1980 chevy. I mocked it up on my 17" wheelbase stick (3.2's) and it looks out of portion somewhat. I think the body is 17" itself. It's actually going on my 13" wheelbase clod and it looks fine on that. That probably doesn't help you at all.

Hey thanks for all the replies... Stormin2u-I checked out Mnsters chevy body, looks really cool with that weathered look and rust. Hey Kona_joe, is the 12.5" wheelbase dead on according to that body's wheel wells? Would 12" be a little short? Also on this 80s body, is all that silver/chromish parts on the front part of the truck decal, or is it paint(what color)? Lastly, do you happen to have any 1.9 scale wheels/tires around that you could mount on that body and take a pic do you? |

I was checking around and found this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/80-chevy-nitro-t...QQcmdZViewItem I love that two tone old time look and noticed it had a chrome trim between the two tones. Anyone know how to achieve this look? I asked the seller and he said its decal tape. I was wondering if silver or chrome paint would look similar? |

Hey KJ, That long bed looks awfully short, the short bed must be really small. Where is the difference in length taken from, before the wheel arch or after it? Tom |

I don't have a shortbed to compare but I'm thinking that it's the same wb as the Blazer? 1:1 specs Blazer = 106" wb SB = 117" wb LB = 131" wb I set up my truck with a 12.5" wb so I guess that sorta falls the sb & lb  Looks like they added material between the back of the cab and rear wheel.   |

Well there you go, they took the length from before the rear wheel arch. Thanks for the pics! I'm still trying to figure out how they did that mud effect on the long bed.

I am gonna get that long bed version and I just stretched my wheely king to 12" so I hope it will fit well on the wheel wells... I love that blue paint job with the mud, I think it could be done with some fairly thick(but runny) brown paint and soak a stiff bigger flathead paintbrush and use your fingers to splatter it...much like you would with a toothbrush. I think they did the mud effect on the inside before spraying the blue on. I would rather use some acrylic and do it on the outside so if I decide to change it I could clean it off... |
