How to base swap M2 Machines Square Body Chevy trucks & wheel swap an Autoworld Square Body

In this video I show you how to base/body swap an M2 Machines Square body. I show you all of the differences in the chassis for the fleetside, stepside, and bedless trucks and how easy it is to interchange parts. As an added bonus I give you tips on wheel swapping an Autoworld Square Body with Greenlight wheels.
Don't forget to follow me on Instagram for some great diorama shots of the vehicles used in our videos. Here's the link www.instagram....

Great info Ron. Being able to customize is one of my favorite things about M2.

Man I'm glad to get back to ur video been watching too many videos about how America's just falling apart it's really getting to me got to get back into what matters these cars

[@ronsmusclecardiecast]

Yeah I hear ya brother I usually avoid the news and I am sort of glad I am not in the states at the present time to see this all unfold. Hopefully things will get better. Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@xltoffroadbear]

Great video Ron. I'm not brave enough for wheel swaps yet, but when I am I'll rewatch this.

[@ronsmusclecardiecast]

Thanks brother these are about the only type of wheel swaps I will do. I am not much for drilling the rivets 😂 thanks for watching 😊👍

[@davidbeeson1178]

I do not have many of the M2 trucks but it is cool how easily interchangeable they are. I will keep this in mind if I should find some, pretty cool brother.

[@ronsmusclecardiecast]

Thank you brother and thanks for watching😊👍

when you bring them close to the camera, the stock looks so fine, very nice truck. I like the black wheels on the mooneyes, nice wheel variations ,

[@ronsmusclecardiecast]

The mooneyes always seems to be a winner. Thanks for watching brother 😊👍

Hey Ron, cool trucks, I like that charcoal gray one personally buddy......thanks & have a great weekend!!!!!

[@ronsmusclecardiecast]

Thanks Chris. Have a great weekend brother 😊👍

[@Raiderzombie57]

I just got off work, couldn't wait to watch and sir you never disappoint. The gold wheels on the yellow/white coke truck would look nice I think

[@Raiderzombie57]

P.s. some nail polish remover will remove the coke tempos on the door

[@ronsmusclecardiecast]

I thought about that but it might remove the white paint to, because I think the white paint is applied like a tampo. I am going to do that with the good year tampo on the blue stepside. Thanks for watching brother 😊👍

The New Lifted Chassis Gives You Even More Options Now. I Really Hope M2 Releases A Crew Cab Square Body Dually, Both Slammed & Lifted!! Now THAT Would Be Cool!!

[@ronsmusclecardiecast]

That would be sweet 😎👍.Thanks for watching

[@ronsmusclecardiecast]

Thanks brother and thanks for watching 😊👍. I agree trying to take off or put on some of the wheels is a pain in the ass 😂

Wow Ron, you have cool pick up trucks. The most I like it the orange with white pick up truck with all wide tires 24:57. I wish I could afford to buy one. I'm jobless and no budget to buy. I really love to have one of your pick up truck. As a Christmas gift? Take care.

[@ronsmusclecardiecast]

Thanks for watching brother. I am happy you enjoyed the show. Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I have had some problems with my job because of this epidemic we are facing. I am sure things will get better. Stay safe and take care my friend 😊👍

I am also not a fan of black wheels - no matter if real cars or model cars. Also I must say these square body trucks look the best with the bed. The possibility to swap body parts and wheels is really an amazing idea. So if you like a body but not the wheels then you just get the wheels you like better.

[@ronsmusclecardiecast]

I agree my friend 😊👍if they have a chrome rim or trim ring it's not to bad but I definitely prefer chrome or aluminum wheels. That's the one thing I like about M2 Machines is the easiness with customization

[@markhulvey6984]

Another great video Ron! question... Will the fleet side bed fit on the bedless chassis?

[@ronsmusclecardiecast]

Thanks brother 😎😊👍, That's a good question Mark. It just might, I didn't think to even try it. I will have to get back to you on that one.

[@ronsmusclecardiecast]

I checked the fleet side bed this afternoon. It looks like the tanks will still interfere along with the exhaust

[@scottharris8308]

I take one of those black and white trucks.

Have you tried taking apart M2 Machines 1/24 Square body.

[@notorious_florida6625]

What wheel size are the m2 trucks ? I’m trying to wheel swap

[@ronsmusclecardiecast]

I am not sure.

[@Krazykvp]

How do you get them out the box

[@mikedison1149]

I have a 2 axle trailer and when I first got it second hand it had black stock wheels on it and the first thing I did was put a set of aluminum wheels on it from the 80s and scraped the stock steel wheels .... I even have a spare on the same style aluminum wheel ... So I am not a fan of black wheels period ...

[@ronsmusclecardiecast]

I agree Mike. If they have a chrome rim or trim ring then I dont mind them but all black looks cheap in my opinion. That's the thing I hate about the black hole Nova Gasser is the rear black wheels. Thanks for watching brother 😊👍

[@mikedison1149]

@@ronsmusclecardiecast I haven't opened mine yet and hadn't noticed the black wheels ... I may paint mine an aluminum color to look like aluminum wheels ...

Chevy & GMC produced the real square body pickups from '73 through '87 on the 1/2 ton & 3/4 ton regular cabs & from '73 through '89 on the 1 ton regular cabs. The square body crew cab pickups, Suburbans, Blazers, & Jimmys were produced from '73 through '91.

[@ronsmusclecardiecast]

Yes I know, Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@garyjust.johnson1436]

I have M2 and greenlight wheels that are difficult to fit axles in to.

[@ronsmusclecardiecast]

Yes most of the time they are a pain in the ass to get on the axle 🤣

[@tjyeet6766]

Can u do a how to take off the bed

[@tjyeet6766]

Cause I got the Fanta strawberry one.

[@ronsmusclecardiecast]

The info should be in this video, because I take the bed off of a few and switch parts around. Once you remove the screws the cab and bed lift up together and the bed should slide out of the cab easily

[@tjyeet6766]

Well maybe I missed it

[@jarvislarson6864]

Fyi m2 graphics & sponsor logos can be wiped off using lacquer thinner dipped q-tips....i have removed goofy multi stripes to end up with single solid colors

[@ronsmusclecardiecast]

Thanks for the tip...I am aware of it but I use acetone, it's less likely to damage the base paint, but on the 2 tone trucks both will eat the the side paint because it's also a tampo. I removed the good year off of the blue stepside in a later video Thanks for watching 😊👍
