Default Help me make this TF2 BTTF!!!

ok guys, so eveyone needs inspiration from time to time and I just got mine. I was on the fence about building a TF2 until I remembered something, and now I need your help.

One of my favorite movies had a very prominent 1985 Toyota truck...can you guess? Back to the Future!!!

They had an Extra cab SR5 in the movie, and thats where the problems begin. The mojave is a standard cab and Id need to find either someone to modify the current body or source the correct body for this truck (needing the fenders to match, as well as the longer cab)

*Edit* seems the Tamiya Hilux has some of the correct parts, but upon closer look it is NOT the extra cab that I need. sad face


Also, if you guys could help me narrow down the list of "mods" the truck has (lift, wheels, lights, bumpers etc) since Im no truck guy, it would be a huge help. I want to get as close to the movie truck as I can.


ANY help matching movie truck to current production pieces for the tf2 would be a HUGE help, Im going to start looking now.


Wheels





whole truck

You may be able to get away with the roll bar from the F350 and the bumper off the bruiser. Both Tamiya kits.



Interested to see this build!

RPP hobby makes the wheels like that, they are made by gear head.

You'll have to modify the body into a second gen... It can be done. There are vendors here who do body work and such of the nature.
