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 :lol:) I bought the 1999 Chevy Silverado street truck model from walmart. This is what the model is
http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w54/Jmastermik28/Xmods/85-7200.jpg
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.

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 :bigwink:

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. :p

What's the bed made out of? I'm surprised you say you can't take a rattle can too it.

[xmodkidd33]

I did the lights... Haha. I like it so far!

EDIT: The bed is made out of some weird corkboard-like material, but it's really sturdy. TheX, when can I get a sheet of it?

It's kinda late so don't expect any updates til tomorrow.

[snowboi1289]

It looks very nice !!!!

Where did you get the blinking light from ??

To add more detail, put a couple scratches over the hood, and one of the sides. Because its a work truck, there has to be scratches or dents somewhere.

This thing is sick and it looks like it's getting close to being fimished up.

[Lancer_Man]

I'd smooth out the boxes some. It looks like they are pretty rough right now, but putty could fix that.

It's coming along. ;)
