Re: Have question on 61 fire truck.

It looks to be larger all around. Is it a 50 or 60 series truck? The whole dash layout looks different than the smaller trucks.

Re: Have question on 61 fire truck.

thats a neat one, it is just like my gmc 4000, the eq. of a 60-80 series chevy.
the dash and cab are just regular gmc, nothing special.
to see how to do a custom instrument cluster like that check out http://www.6066gmcguy.org
he has a good build up of one.

I'm with you, it's prob too long and the drw wouldn't fit in the wells, but if he were to [I]build[I] a bed...I think it would be pretty bad
