Mid 70's Chevy c series cab?
Anyone know of a 1:14 or 1:16 mid 70's c series Chevy body? I'm wanting to build on as a gift for my father , it was the truck he started our family business with. I've been thinking I might be able to chop up a clodbuster cab and start with that, any thoughts?
I thought I saw one done on YouTube but havnt been able to find the video |

Highway 61 had a 1:16 C-65 series of trucks. They did a flatbed and grain bed I think. I have seen a couple of them converted to RC as well.

There are some old 1/16 Ertl GMC trucks from the 70's occasionally on ebay,I have several Internationals. I also have a Hiway61 40's International State Hiway Dept. plow truck that I'm thinking about converting. Only problem there's alot of plastic parts including the dump body that may not hold up to the punishment I want to put it through. Probably have to make a whole new bed from brass.

I am the builder of that rc conversion and sold it to the poster of the video. I am willing to let u know how to do it when u find one. I have another one for myself that I made into service type truck.

Re: Mid 70's Chevy c series cab?
Thanks rcguyfarms, that would be great. Do you have a build thread or something? I've got a 1/18 Mrc axle I'm thinking of using. We're you able to leave in the interior?

You really got all the parts stuffed in there. I didn't think you would have room without removing the engine. Nice Job.
