AutoCAD drawings of our trucks ??!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BadAssChevy502 · 02-17-2004, 12:02 PM

Hi there I’m trying to find AutoCAD drawings of our trucks, can anyone tell me if there are any available so I can make 3D models.
I know AutoCAD has a 1957 Chevy bel-air 3D model that looks cool.

Thanks in advance

Edmond · 02-17-2004, 12:10 PM

Every once in a while this comes up. I have one, will have to look it up though.

>Leuk trouwens om nog een Nederlander hier tegen te komen!!<

By the way, I see you are a fellow Dutch man!
Nice to see you mate!!

Ever heard about the Pickup Club? we have a cruise planned, called 'The Tunnel Cruise' on march the 21st.
Take a look here for more info: http://groups.msn.com/americanpickups

Edmond,
I would love to have a copy of whatever you might have. Let me know when you find it and I will send my e-mail or other method to transfer the file(s).
Thanks!

Edmond · 02-17-2004, 12:30 PM

Hope you can download it here: Drawing

If not send me a PM with your email, and I will mail it to you.

Goodluck

Cya,
Edmond

I was able to open up the drawing. That is pretty cool, but to make a 3-D model such as the 57 Chevy BelAir of one of our trucks, it would be very involved and take a hell of a long time to do it. I had been working in an aerospace business and some of my job was to create 3-D models of the fan blades for jet engines that we machined using a combination of AutoCAD 2002 & AutoCAD 2004. Those were small parts and I did have the machine & casting drawings and even at that it took a week or better for a single 3-D model of a part.
Heck, If you have the time to put into it, a 3-D model would be very cool.

BadAssChevy502 · 02-17-2004, 12:55 PM

Hey thanks edmond for your reply, and it's a very nice CAD drawing.

But if anyone has any other drawings let me know the more the better.

Thanks Guys and Gals

Man, I work for Autodesk, the makers of AutoCAD, and I have yet to find a 3D drawing of our trucks. And yes, I am very good with AutoCAD, I just don't have the time to sit down and draw one up for all of us. Personally, I work on computers all day, the last thing I want to do when I get home it work on my home computer. Much more rewarding to work in the garage on the truck!!!

BadAssChevy502 · 02-18-2004, 04:32 AM

You are so right on that one John Fabris but stil it would be so cool to have/find one………..if you don’t ask you won’t know right !!

SWEET7T · 02-18-2004, 12:02 PM

Thanks alot!!!

70ChevyLongbed · 02-18-2004, 12:16 PM

Thanks Edmond!

68cajun · 02-18-2004, 05:41 PM

I had this one in my computer.

Edmond · 02-18-2004, 06:23 PM

I don't mind 70ChevyLongbed.
It has been covered before on the board in the past, with the same drawing.

Glad I could help.

I don't know how it's done with AutoCad, I use IMSI's TurboCAD and all I have to do is a "Save As" and it gives like 20 different file types. We use it so that we can receive AutoCad files from engineers, architects, and surveyors. I wish I had the chance to learn AutoCad, or even learn TurboCad to it's full extent... maybe later...

bad 71 chevy · 02-18-2004, 09:44 PM

can i post the dwg and some one else put it to a pic like the ones above thanks

'71k-10 · 02-18-2004, 11:13 PM

Hope this works. It's not the best but for being 16 and only drawing for about a year it's an attempt. it's still missing the interior and the rear fender cut out.

anyone have a blazer??

billtoothaker · 02-19-2004, 01:04 PM

What the best deal for a simple cad program, I find myself with alot of extra time, and could work on it I used an autocad program 5 years ago and took a course- I think I could pick it up again

crazy4chevs · 02-19-2004, 01:10 PM

how do you guys get that far?

all i can do is to get a line from point a to b (turbocad) its all jiberish to me:p

Bill,

You can pick up TurboCAD from $99 for the Deluxe and $579 for the Professional.

There are also tons of shareware and freeware found at places like CNET's Download.com, just be careful of adware & spyware when downloading anything free.
