Up to the back of the cab looks fabulous, but needs a longer pick up bed I think to balance it out. Has the look of a Desperate Dan creation about it for some reason. Nice. Any idea what it is? Title: Re: Russian Rod Post by: Plasticpig on July 16, 2006, 08:14:49 AM I think the cab is off a ZIL 6x6 truck. I agree about the back end as well. Even if it had a small wooden bed on it, it would look better.

One of a long list of vehicles I should've kept. Chassis was shortened by 6 inches with a one piece fibreglass flip front. Like driving a go-cart but so much fun!
