Project: Service truck

[TheXmodifyer]

PHOTOBUCKET'S BEING *** AND WONT LET ME RESIZE! PLEASE HELP MODS!

Hey fellas(and m0del)

TheX comin' at you with a pretty wild and crazy project. I personally think this might be the coolest Xtruck project going on right now, but thats just me. A long time ago (in a galaxy far far away ) I bought the 1999 Chevy Silverado street truck model from walmart. This is what the model is

Seeing as if you built the truck like tho one on the cover you'd be a homosexual, I went the completely different direction. I lifted it and threw on a roll bar and a winch. Well, that chassis was so long and it took about 20 minutes to complete a 180 degree turn. I didnt much like the truck anyways, so I just put it aside. Well the other day I was leaning against my dads service truck and I thought, "man I'd love to have a service truck Xmod but all I have is old trucks!" Then it hit me: the old chevy was still sittin' in the basement collecting dust. I really liked the body style of this truck so I went for it. I just did not like the fact it was a crew cab. I hated it so much. So, everyone knows I just cannot leave something un-psycholy-modded, so I did something I didn't think I could do: mod a model body. So I took out the ol' dremel and chopped off the "crew" part. Heres some Before, after and Very after pics.


Before & in paint.

Whats left of the crew cab.

Gaping hole.

After.

And heres the truck Im attempting to recreate

Looks like a great project. Do you plan on putting a lift on your chassis if it doesn't already have one?

Thanks! And No, I want to keep this truck "original". You get it? Like as close to the real thing as possible. So I will have the stock height on this one.

Wow, thanks dude! And yes, I was planning on that, right on the bottom of the door and on the rear bumper. Im not sure on it though, but it certainly came to mind and im 85% sure I'm going to do them.
UPDATE TIME!
Painted up the grill like you see on all GM work trucks.

Thanks again dude! Im just in shock that im actually catching the eye of one of the sites popular guys! And yeah, for some reason I've always been fond of these trucks. Maybe it's because you only see important people in them (workers, foremans, etc.)
More pics tomorrow. If my camera will cooperate I'll have I think 2(?) more pictures for you guys tonight

he has a 2000 Ford F450 (the hard part is a kit) 4 door flat bed, out fitted with 5 tool boxes, it would have been a good one, but it would be hard to make, your will be more successful than mine would be

I started yesterday. All I did was paint the cab and trim it. The cabs already painted. And i am very, very, very, far away from that. The bed needs perfected, put together, finished, mounted, connected to the cab, detailed, sanded and painted. I need to build bumpers, get accessories, and do touch ups. Everythings just sitting there right now. Nothings mounted. The lights need done, the secret parts needs finished, and alot more stuff needs done. Im very far from finished.
