If the chassis isn't too beat up, why not have it polished down to bare shiny metal? I've seen this done before and the effect is cool when combined with black-dyed nylon parts and a tasteful body. I bet someone here could get you a set of chrome wheels with nice tires too...

well, if your talking about the chassis on tekins website, that's for a buggy. that kit comes with all the rear suspension, for a buggy. it's not going to be wide enough to match up with a truck front end. i don't think the factory asc. rear suspension will mount to the chassis, either. hoopty would be the one to ask, he has one.

tekin may still have a truck kit or two in stock, i would call them. they may be able to dig one up for you.

they pop up once in awhile on ebay as well.
