Had to buy this one its a 1938 Chevy Pick-up truck Laughing ,You have to use the Revell (85-7202) 41 Chevy pick-up for chassis, in line six engine or V8 if you want too,you can build it stock or Rod it even the newer wheels look OK under it.One thing with it the front wind screen needs to be open up a bit ? Y/N going to use sunvisor from the kit will BMF grill too.

Drag this one out again to see what I can do with it, Got a cool idea for it down in the weeds on a late model chevy pick up truck chassis V6 engine,  Laughing cut the running boards down going to put tray on the back,  Twisted Evil colour will be a flat colour with semi gloss clear Very Happy  removed molded in door handles got some chrome ones for it

This is gonna be a really nice truck, but may I suggest You raise the A-pillars just a tad to give the body more correct lines? Say, maybe 1/16" or so....
