| 1984 GMC Pickup
Here is my 1984 GMC Pickup. I initially was going to build a frame out of c-channel and tubing. I bought all of that stuff and realized I don’t really have the tools, yet, to build the frame how I want it. So that will have to be pushed to a later date. Since I wasn’t going to build what I wanted I figured I had to slap something together. Here it is. I was up until 3am working on it last night. I believe I got most of the tough stuff out of the way and my fingertips are killing me. (Screwing those rod ends on is a b!$@h) Ill keep updating throughout the week as I progress |

Looks pretty good. What scale is that body? 1:20th? It looks bigger than 1:24th for some reason. You could lower it a bit w/ Micro-T shocks... Last edited by Big Mike; 12-22-2009 at 12:39 PM. |

| It is actually a 1:25th scale. Yeah i'm considering the Micro T shocks. I bought two sets just for this. I may just use the springs though so i can maintain the shock travel.

my advice is to lower it. seriously get rid of the springs and move the top mounts of the shocks to the lower holes |

Looks nice, but too high. What rods/rod ends did you use?

| I believe im going to run a droop setup with spacers in the rear to maintain propper ride height. I also think im giong to lower the body more. And as shown in the pics i have alredy dropped to the lower hole and removed the upper one.
