Custome 1/24 Diecast - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have been working on this thing now for over 4 weeks in my spare time, it has taken alot to do. I have removed the drip rails,door handles,mirrors,brake lights,side modelings, rear bumper, and center ridge of the hood.
I have added wheels,tires,disc covers,wood bed with chrome strips, use to be side modelings. I haven't decided on what color yet, but think matlic silver. Don't really know?
Here are some pics.

This is what I started with. The new 1/24 scale Street Low series from Jada toys. They are metal diecast. Very good detailed trucks.

These are sites you can buy from. I have already bought some stuff from milezone.
The wheels are from the Dub City series trucks, I have been buying the escalades to get the wheels off of them for my other trucks.
