50’s chevy truck body?

TN327 · 25th-Aug-25, 01:05 AM

I have a 1954 chevy truck that I’ve had for 30 years, driving it for the last 28 like this
Would love a body in 1/32.
Any idea/sources?
I’ve looked with no luck.
Found a STL file but it looks solid- wheels and all ?

George Turner has produced a 53-54 Chevy truck slot car kit in 1:32 scale. There's seven different versions, including a pick-up: http://www.georgeturnermodels.com/shop/chevrolet-x7/

There's also this 1:32 scale Chevy Pick-up body on eBay.

Update as of today.
I got an stl file and my neighbor to print for me.

Hopefully all goes well.

Chassis extended!
Had to mill the brass stock to fit in the channel under the chassis
Hardware is 2-56

Talking of cutting one up, I saw an advert today for an ultrasonic modelling knife... looked perfect for this kind of job.
