[WIP] GMC General

#1 Post by Smarty » 27 Sep 2019 03:28

Having acquired a ton of research/reference material over the past year, I've somewhat changed my priorities on my too many numerous truck projects. I am currently focusing on one of my all-time favourites: the GMC General. I have bought several GMC Body Builder manuals, a 1977 General Owner's Manual, and a 1980 Chevrolet Truck Sales Data Book from which I've gathered accurate dimensional, weight, and price information.

Some of you will recall that I made a General for 18WoS:PttM. Believe it or not, this began as a simple rework of that model a couple years ago. It has since become so much more. So far there are 4 cabin options and 10 chassis options, and that will more than double before release.

Here are a couple of example configurations showing both the N9E (108" BBC) and N9F (116" BBC) models, as well as the 34" crawl-through sleeper (RPO E19) available on earlier models.

Obviously, there's still a ton to do, but I couldn't keep a lid on this any longer – I'm too excited! :lol:

An Autocar, a Bison, and a GMC General are all being worked on. How awesome is that! :D

How exciting! You would have had a field day at the vintage truck show in Ontario this summer.

Nice job Smarty !I really like these old irons, they are a curiosity here in Europe. Unfortunately, I haven't seen anything like this in real life yet, but thanks to good modders, they are almost foolproof.
Thanks for your work!
