another one of revells awesome truck series kit
I love this kit another good kit by Revell it looks good and includes 2 awesome options for tires and rims it is a 2 in 1 so it does feature some awesome optional pieces it has the bed molded together aside from the steps for the step side and include water slide decals for the bed so instead of painting you can just stick a decal in and continue just obviously make sure you paint your bed before putting the decal in when i built this truck i built it into a rat rod lowered the suspension made it matte black stripped the chrome from the rims and painted those matte black then i took off the step side bed and built a flat bed for it after that i used a left over 454 from another kit added a blower to that and stuffed it in the Chevy step side took off the hood and was then done PROS: awesome kit, easy to assemble, optional pieces, fun to build, step side has a water slide decal, bed is molded together CONS: for me i didn't have any cons i loved this kit i liked that the bed was molded together because if you have ever built a step side kit were you have to attach the fenders to the fender wall then the fender walls to the main bed it is a night mare to try to get every thing to fit in correctly evenly and straight so if you want want get this kit go for it you will have a lot of fun and it is 100% worth it
This is a typical Revell kit…and it’s a compliment!!
This is a skill level 4 with 148 parts. It can be built stock or a street version with extra chrome for the engine, low profile tires and disc brakes for all wheels. The original 1:1 would have sold for about $2,000 new, but today some have sold for up to $103,500 (according to NADA). This model is molded in white, and I used all but about a dozen or so building it stock. The hood can be removed or posed open, and there is the sole version of the 283 ci V8, but the engine well has enough goodies (wiper wash reservoir, master cylinder, battery, etc) to make it look realistic. The stepside bed was easy to align and put together, but I had to fill some major gaps at the steps themselves. The parts have minimal flash, and the details are nice. The interior is also nice, and the dash paints out really pretty. The nameless tires have whitewall inserts, and the attachments to the axles are rock-solid. The overall fit is wonderful. Plus, this model would be perfect for modding – a little or a LOT! Very recommended.
65 chevy stepside 2 in 1
I love this truck it is a great addition to my truck dioramas and garages I love building trucks and this one definitely has a lot of different ways you could build it and that’s the beauty of this truck you can chose to lift it lower it keep it stock height or what ever else you can imagine I definitely am going to put another one in our stash and you can not complain about the price on this truck Pros: easy on the wallet, Very detailed, nicely casted, lots of possibilities, great for dioramas CONS: minimal flash if you are thinking of picking up this kit then do it it is a lot of fun to build this kit and you will have a lot of fun with it and it will look good for dioramas or whatever you want to make it for
1965 Chevy Stepside Pickup
I love this kit it is awesome so much fun to build I am a huge truck fanatic and this kit is a very good asset to my dioramas as I can use it for many thing Work truck, Show truck, Daily driver etc this truck will work for any diorama and garage very nice details on this truck I had an awesome time building it and definitely want to get more and build them in different ways PROS: No flash, Very accurate, Nice casting 10-10 stars for sure on this kit if you are thinking about getting this kit you should really consider it as it will look good in you diorama or garage and will also look like a part of what you are using it to do
Very nicely produced kit
The kit I got is one if the best made kits I've seen. All the parts trees are clean of flash, and all tge parts I've used have fit very well. I built it stock so I can't vouch for the custom pieces but I really don't remember needing to make more than a couple swipes with a file on maybe 3-4 parts. A pleasure to build and the truck looks great when finished.I wish every kit was this fun to build. Oh, and you do get some nice leftovers for the parts box.
Completely Customized This Kit
The ends of the front fenders are open not finished. Several places on the bed including the rails are not straight. There was a bulge in the right rear fender. The pros--easy kit to put together. Check out my pics of this kit as I customized it with; chevy bowtie key chain and gas door, custom interior and different flames, also cut the suspension adding airbags and lowering it. Came out looking awesome, but a lot of work.
Fun kit to build
By: nimr0d
This is a fun kit to build if you like pickup trucks. The parts were cleanly molded, and fit well for the most part, but I did have a few problems with some of the parts keying being off a bit, so be sure check the fit of everything before gluing. I built mine as a beat-up old farm truck being rebuilt as a street machine, and had a great deal of fun planning and executing the build.
clean truck
First off this truck comes with 2 sets of wheels and tires. The chrome brake upgrade was made to work only with the large chrome wheels. The kit also allows you to set the front end to 2 different ride heights as it comes with 2 sets of lower control arms. The bed is nicely detailed but I elected to remove the wood deck from the bed and convert to a drag truck.
My current build...
Love, Love, Love... Just a great looking truck plus the custom options gives you a chance to get creative, and the extra parts don't hurt for the parts box either. Lol very good mold minor cleaning up extra plastic. I can't think of a color this truck would look bad in!!! So have fun and I'll post pics when I'm done with mine...Bigmjd77
great kit
I built this a few years ago. Went together nicely. Instead of the kit engine used the engine from the custom Silverado kit to make a restomod. Just purchased another to use the lowered suspension and wheels on the 66 Suburban kit. Alot of the parts are identical accept the bodies. Even the parts numbers match up.
good quality kit
I bought this kit just for the step-side bed for another model kit i am building. I plan on using this cab and other parts for another project later. little to no flashing on parts. no issues noted, good quality kit, would recommend for any builder. new or veteran builders will enjoy this well cast kit
65 Chevy Stepside
first off i love this kit it is ver well done and looks amazing the kit i did before this was a 55 chevy stepside and that was fun to build and because of that i went peaking around and saw this and i loved it and i loved it even more when i built it highley sugest this kit it is a lot of fun
'65 CHEVY STEPSIDE
This is a fantastic kit that has been around a little while. Fitment can be a little bothersome in some areas, mainly joining the chassis and body together. If you take your time and think it out, it goes together great. This will be one of those kits that you will enjoy looking at for years.
Great looking truck!
An awesome looking model. Lots of good detail. I love the 2in1 models because it gives you so many options and the parts you don't use can go in your parts box for future builds. Word of advice, don't chop top unless you no what your getting into(ruined one kit). Overall great build.
Nice kit of a classic Chevy
I spent a lot of my early years riding in my dad's '65 Chevy Stepside. This kit builds into a great representation of that truck. Parts fit is excellent throughout. There was little to no flash anywhere to be found, and the mold seams clean up easily. Highly recommended!
very nice 65
did this one in flat black to give it an old school look with newer rims I will diffently be getting a few more to do them in other way with different paint jobs on them will post pictures when I get them done...real good looking truck no matter how you do it....
GREAT KIT
By: Mike
Love this kit. It was a lot of fun to build. Side steps & bumpers were a little tricky to line up but other than that no issues. The truck bed wood decal looks really nice but I ended up using real wood over it just to try it. I would strongly recommend this kit.
Neat Chevy
Have a lot of truck models still in boxes due to we moved overseas. Have the Chevy painted and ready to build,but it's in the box. Great kit wish I could get more kits from the 50's and 60's. You're company is the best for models.
chevy stepside
Good entry level kit for anyone just starting out or getting back into the hobby. the only drawback to the kit in my opinion is the multi piece hood and simplified suspension but over all makes a very clean build up
great truck!
i love this kit its very detailed and has a bunch of custom parts as well as stock! the only thing i didn't like about it is the hood is a three piece maybe four piece part and also the roof was a separate piece
Revell does it again
I was amazed with the detail and how well this kit came together. I really liked the box art and decided to build it that way. I alternate my builds at the local hobby store and again this one was also sold.
cool truck
this is a great kit, nice clean body, tricky 4 piece hood, loved the bed wood decal ..2n1 kits are the best, I highly recommend this kit, hope it comes back in stock soon, im ready to build another one lol
Great Kit very detailed
By: JRRR99
This is a great kit, that comes with extra small block Chevy bolt on goodies It also comes with a complete set of low profile rim & rubber plus brake rotors and the best decal sheet ,Highly recommended
Good classic build!
Fun build, Came with lots of extra pieces to save for other models. Had a hard time getting the truck bed to sit right, but eventually did. I suggest You glue the step side pieces on before painting.
Nice build up
My only complaint is the weird 4 piece hood. It'll require some body work to make it look right. Otherwise it's highly detailed. Has some cool flame decals, and 2 wheel and tire choices
cool kit to build
this was truely a cool kit to build i had alot of fun with it just wish the front end would go a little lower but all in all its a really nice kit and all the parts fit together great
Good kit for customizing.
Good little kit with plenty of options for different builds. All parts line up like they should. Only draw back is the 4 piece hood. Looks great with a distributor kit and hose kit.
Awesome truck
This truck is beautiful.its pretty easy to build no problems with fit and finish.i left mine white with the white walls looks amazing.a great addition to any collection 👍🏻
Enjoyed this kit
Clean kit with nice options. Had no fit issues and no real flash to speak of. The hood is slightly warped and doesn’t sit quite right, but no complaints other than that
Loved it!
I had a lot of fun building this truck and I appreciated the stock and custom options. I love the older pickups. The smaller parts really test your skill.
Great Kit
This is a very nice kit. The fitment is great with exception of having to assemble the hood. that is a pain. I like the finished product.
Chevy Stepside Pickup
Great model. Lots of fun to build and it looks great afterward. A little trouble attaching the bed to the cab, but besides that, it's great
Excellent Truck!
Easy kit to put together with very little flash on the parts. Several custom parts included to make it your own. Highly recommend.
Great kit
Loved the challenge of this kit. Only problem was the frame was not straight took a little work to get it to look right.
went together perfectly
It's very detailed and all of the parts went together great. It's a very simple stage 2 model with a lot of detail.
Great kit for a great price
Very nice fit and very little flash. Nice detail, with lots of room to add your own. Decent tires and wheels.
Awsome Truck
it was fun to build this truck, i have a trailer with a camaro behind it and the set up looks great
