Product Description
A complete one-piece 3D-resin-printed chassis to fit AMT's '55 Chevy Stepside Pickup Street Machine (8598).
This was custom designed for Nick Perez and his AMT kit.
Kit Body Modifications Necessary
- Create wheel openings in both sides of the bed for slicks to extend into the tubs (I used a 1.25" hole saw)
- Notch rear bottom of cab to slide over frame width
- Remove front inner fender wells
- Drill 4 holes in back of cab for rear supports to reattach to cab rails (optional, if you don't want to be able to take off body)
- Omit the front of the bed and only use two sides and tailgate. Bed will attach to the chassis.
Here is a photo of the real thing for an example.
If you're using a different body, email me with the body you intend to use to obtain measurements for a sure-fit.
Made of ABS-like resin so easy modifications can be made by cutting, sanding and use of CA glue.
Due to the 3D printing process, the undersides of the tubs and rear extension need minor sanding and will most likely be covered with carbon fiber decals or painted anyway.
I designed it to utilize many of Futurattraction's suspension and other items (see list of links below). It will save you a ton of time without having to scratch build your own means of mounting the front/rear suspension and more.
Main structural members are .090" diameter while minor members are .080" diameter.
BODIES ARE PRINTED PER ORDER, SO ALLOW 2 DAYS BEFORE SHIPMENT.

- Body is designed to sit on the chassis (body not included, nor means of attaching body)
- Front strut upper and lower mounting eyelets, for the strut/coil over spindle and lower control-arms.
- Firewall
- Rear 4-link brackets are molded to the chassis
- Rear engine/transmission plate is molded in with the firewall
- Detailed driver's cage
- Wheel tubbs and extended platform
