Started with a Lindberg Club Cab 4X4 Dakota. Shortened the chassis, shortened the interior bucket, cut the cab down to single cab, lowered the suspension by drilling new axle locator holes, and added some borrowed tires and wheels from a Revell Dodge Sidewinder custom Dakota truck.
Two things, I busted the wheel back on one of the rear wheels. Looking for one of them from the sidewinder kit if anybody has one?? Also having trouble locating wheels that look like the ones on my real truck. The closest I have found is some Japanese maker selling Enkei RPF1 wheels but they are out of stock. A middle east guy makes them but they are photo 3D, fragile, too big in size and not cheap. Can anybody help? Paul has everything but I bet even he will have trouble finding them?
Started with this,
Cut the cab down to a single cab
Cut the chassis and set the modified body on to see how it looked. Note the 4X4 tires, wheels, and height.
Lowered the axles and put some temporary tires and wheels on the truck to check the height adjustment.
These are the wheels on my 1 to 1 pickup I want to put on my model truck.
These are the wheels I found. Had to add tires and cut them down as they were too wide. Had to have them sent from San Jose California. I had an easier time finding the tires and wheels for my real truck LOL.
