HG P601 based 6x6 Flatbed

Been working on the the interior for a little while now, it's to the point I can show some progress. The gauges ar frome a decal sheet from my old Proline k5 blazer I had a long while back, the seats are from Yeah Racing, the shifters are from my old scx10 dingo kit same for the steering wheel, the blinker lever is made from a paper clip and some super glue. The first aid box came from the Hobby Lobby doll house section.

Well looks like I can make my own links. Full custom links and wheel bases here I come. [emoji1745] lol I was able to move the rear axle forward by moving the link carriage forward to the next hole I had drilled and I shortened the drive shaft by 20 mm.

Got a small update, I made a box to put camping gear in, it will have a cargo net added to it I just need to git the material to make it out of, I also got my recover boards that a budy made for me mounted. I also add a set of deer horns to the battery box, and I made rear bed rails to finsh off the bed.

Well I got some more work done to the 6x6 today. I made a panhard bar and mounts, so no more bump steer and axle movement when steering.

Well I got myself a 3d printer, and I've been goin to town on printing stuff for my RCs that I've never been able to afford. Well here's what I've done for this rig.

I've add a "Caterpillar" inline 6 and some proper hood hinges. The motor is a mix of a few things I found on thingiverse. I hope y'all enjoy this build it's my longest running project and it's my favorite build I have.

I love all the scale details! However, i cant say I've ever seen wooden tool boxes mounted to a bed underside. Tip: "seasoning tins" pepper, old bajou can be converted to look like steel tool boxes and fuel tanks.
 
I have a driver I printed for this truck, I still need to make some clothes and paint the face and arms. But here's when he looks like in the truck. If anyone knows of a good place to get clothes for this scale let me know.

Nicely printed model. He looks great. Where did you get the file?

I have seen wood tool boxes just like these but I grew up in what was technically Appalachia.

They look good and I really like seeing all the non-3d printed stuff.

Good tip on the spice cans.
