That came out awesome! When in boarding the rear shocks like that how much did it improve the flex?

Thanks

I don't think it improved the flex much if at all. They do seem to be a bit softer, but that was expected.
I haven't had it out on the rocks or trails yet. Don't care for the cold and snow. I'm anxious to get it out and get some pictures on the rocks.

Love it! Those wheels look a lot more scale. Reminds me of the wheels on my grandpa's old truck when I was a kid living on the farm in Illinois.

I really like the bed, especially the tubing. Did you make the tubing on the bed, or did you buy it? Very cool

[QUOTE=*Super*;13485910]I'm starting my "winter" build a little early.

I started out with a RC4WD Boyer truggy chassis and a Parma '34 Ford pick up body.

I just have to wire up the lights. Once the weather gets nicer and the snow is gone I'll get some pictures, probably no video though.

Just found this thread surfing the crawler forums. Love Fords, that looks great and what an idea. Was thinking of using my left over F250 Tamoya cab for a crawler, but thouhgt it is to big. This gives me the idea again. Thank you for sharing
