JRob, what engine and trans does the 70 have, a 390 auto? I think I will get two so I can build a crew just like mine, the same way the Ontario factory did it, cutting and combining existing parts. I will have to pick up the 78-79 Dent Superstones kit for the front axle.

The trick would be to also customize the tail gates like Randle's.

The 71 has a 390 with what seems to be just a c4 is my guess. This is my first time doing this and I'm already having a blast thinking about the build. I did buy two of the 70's and two of the 71s one to bulid one to collect. Im having troubles finding another 69 :/.My first though was to use the 390 in the 70 short bed and make my real life truck(I'll have to figure out the grill situation, need one of ganstars grill). But now I'm thinking about doing a chop top body drop and shorting the frame and long bed. Not sure right now I'm just going to practice on the extra sprue pieces cutting and putting them back together, sanding, painting. I'm somewhat of a perfectionist and I want these models to look good when I'm done. I thought about that tailgate jeff and im searching for other ideas on the forum.

Here's hoping! There are a couple kits you can buy, but very few 4x4s.
