i like most of the truck, some parts look rough, but i really like your square/rectangle tailpipes, very unique (or at least to me they're unique)

Looks good, I liked the Aoshima's better. You might want to reinforce the chassis a bit.

Wow I really like it, But what I think you need too do

Add chains for the trailer, Incase she falls.
And too wire the trailer lights the whole way up too the truck, instead of usen the gen 1 as a source.

i was thinking about chains
if you look at the pics there is a plug in the back bumper for the lights but the wires arenot that long to reach there so i need to make them longer

Thats turnin' out pretty good I bought that model a while back and was going to make a body but I just didn't feel like trying to make something to extend the chassis that far so I took it back. I wish I could have though. I am not a Chevy fan but I got a say that that truck is a pretty good lookin' truck you got there
