Getting Down with the Dodge D-200
I think I found a better wheel size for the '68 Dodge D-200 pickup truck, and its even a Matchbox wheel:
Here we have it with its much taller twin brother:
It only took using the cutting wheel on my Dremel to get the suspension knocked down. I didn't even need to drill out the rivets and take it apart. In true red-neck fashion, just like on a real old pick-up, I've put the suspension back together with duct tape, but I think I'll smooth it out better and fabricate a couple plastic plates to glue in later when I've got some time. I may even do some detailing to the front and rear.
Meanwhile, I'll let big brother haul off the Jeep that served as the wheel donor. The irony here is that I used parts off a "Skyjacker" model to actually LOWER a vehicle:
