So I'm going old school on this build. Freshly picked up old chevy truck going in the pool and going to be brought back as the original Usa-1 monster truck.  going to kit bash for this kit.  This is what I'm hoping the end results will look like.  |

Thank you sir. It's going to have a blower kn stead of the 3 carb set up but I think it's still going to look pretty cool.

The body line's up almost perfectly just have to do a little trimming on the inter fenders and filling a couple small holes on the body.  |

Nice I never knew they made the original truck kits. If that is the case there might be a slight technicality then, i LOOKED like the one in the pic, but exactly the same model, don't hold me to that, it was a long time ago.  |

Thank you Frank I'm pretty much at a stand still I've got another truck on its way in the mail lol iv got to rob parts from the kit. The truck I'm using didn't come with a tailgate or any kind of brake lights.

Shoot - from the looks of this outstanding build, you could just make a third brake light and a cargo net in place of the tailgate!
Sweet build sir - amazes me what you can do with these trucks. |
