That grille is a good find, but it appears to be from the 1:24 Monogram / Revell Ramcharger, so it may be too big for the 1:25 AMT or MPC pickup. 8(
I ran into more trouble with the Chevy / GMC thing. The truck I'm trying to copy in a model is 4WD, and the Chevy pickup model's 2WD front axle support area is pretty dense so although I could scavenge the whole drivetrain from the Jimmy, I'd pretty much be forced to also scavenge its frame, too, after lengthening it for the longbed pickup... and the undersides of the cab and bed may then not work out unless I emulate any detail in the Jimmy's floor on the Chevy's floor. I may still get it done, but it's far from trivial.
My Jeep project is looking much simpler: I own a IRL '74 Jeep CJ5 Renegade with the 304; it's equipped with a snowplow. I bought the 1:25 Golden Hawk CJ5, but it ships with the 4-cylinder engine so I dug up a V8 from the 1:25 Honcho pickup to tuck under the hood, then I'm adding the snowplow from a 1:24 GMC pickup. It won't be exactly right but it'll be so close that nobody but me will be the wiser.
Does Scalemates have a Facebook presence? I hate to keep stealing Ken's thread here to talk about my projects. 😎

Hopefully Round2 comes through with a new kit, or at least the missing sprues.

How has it been going together? I built the Heavy Hugger version back in the 70's.

It's gone together perfectly. The biggest complaint is the sprue connections on the chrome parts, I think I could say that about any auto kit though.

I never saw them so far. I can't remember that they are in the box at all.

I was thinking about converting mine, back into a school bus? Can't be too hard, right?

Just chop the hood off and lower it back to normal height I would guess. The kit is almost as old as me so I think it will go on the collectable shelf.

I was thinking similar mate. Creating the interior, should be interesting. I'll do my research on that. Basically, I'll be building a bus, based on the shell. Everything will be scratchbuilt.

Kenneth, I'd proceed with caution, on the tractor unit.
This is the old Lindberg kit, and the chassis is plagued with issues!
Basically, the front and rear suspension, are located in the wrong place.
My honest, and friendly advice is, to research the tractor unit, and seek as much information, as you can?
I got this dodge, for my wife, to build as her first semi.
Thankfully, she still talks to me! It took me 4000 miles and a lot of creeping, to realise that she wasn't an idiot, and it's truly a tricky kit!
People mention that the door hinges are a problem, but I wouldn't even touch any paint, until you can assure yourself, that the chassis is correct 100% 👍
