My 1986 Chevy S-10 Pickup daily driver replica - (built 1995)

Here's a replica I built of my previous daily driver. It served me well for 12 years, and I thought it deserved to be replicated in scale and added to my collection. Although it's my real truck was a '86 Chevy S-10, I built it using parts from Monogram's GMC Syclone Pickup and their '91 S-10 kits.

The older style S-10 grill is a resin piece I bought from Perry's Resin. I also removed the extra rubber trim from the kit's front bumper to represent the base model style bumper my truck had. The ralley wheels are from a AMT '69 Chevelle kit, but were turned on a lathe to look like the trim rings have been removed. That same Chevelle kit's back seat was modified to look like the bench seat I had. The license plates were made by photo-graphing my real plates at a distance to reduce them to scale.

The truck has since passed on, but the model helps keep it alive in my memories. At the bottom is a picture of the real truck.
