Here are a couple of mine. Have many built square models just not pictures of all of them. The first is a AMT Fall Guy reissue with a 88-98 Sportside bed. The black one is a AMT Sod Buster (I think?) kit from the 80’s. Both are basically from the same AMT tooling.

I built this one about 5 years ago

I build this one about 20 years ago

Square wrecker kit

Not a square but a cool ’72 K5 I built about 10 years ago. This is an old AMT kit as well.

The exhaust that came with the kit was pretty sucktastic so I made exhaust pipe out of aluminum rods :lol:

did'nt, came with the body. it was a '75 2wd crew i got from RMR Resin. he just sells body's, you have to buy a donor kit or fabricate everything else.

his stuff is pricey, but he makes what no one else does, & Ron (owner) is a stand-up guy

depending on what your building, the rmr frame (right), might work for you, didn't for me
Attachment 1157485
and used this kit for the front clip, front part of the frame, axles & transfer case & the glass. also the mirrors, & chopped a visor out of the cab roof
