There is a 6x6 Apache in real life, a custom build by some canadians, on a M135 military truck chassis. It's yellow and has special bumpers, but it's close.
Goals
Gm had napco 4wd company make something similar in the 50’s but they didn’t use the top of the line Apache..
As mentioned in some of your comments, the Apache 6x6 was a custom built rig. However, it was made famous by the game "Snow Runner" where the Apache 6x6 is a playable vehicle in the game.
So glad to see something that's not a jeep body. I know license fees and stuff but it's nice too see
I use bass guitar strings for those little bars in between the mirrors and the mount. They look relatively accurate and the best part is they bend.
Actually that is a cool idea, I'll have to keep that in mind.
Cool! That's a great tip! Thanks for watching!
Cool idea! I have used guitar strings as CB radio antennas before, too.
I would like to have that ‘59 Apache in a 4x4 and a fleetside bed. Very cool
Favourite morning of the week. Coffee and WOTB.
Thanks! Have a great day!
Thank you for the tip on the scale figures!!! 👍👍👍😃
Glad to help and thanks for watching!
looking forward to see what you do to the apache build, looks good as a 6x6.
Yup love mirror details. if they are missing is like a face without ears, or a gun slinger without gun hoisters. 😆 The honcho will look great with them👍
I love that animated intro! Sets the hook every time!
Thank you!
Still the best 'scale' videos on the interwebnet type area. Keep up the good work old-fruit.
Wow, thanks!
The 6x6 is a comical novelty you wouldn’t typically look for… as your 6x6 Cherokee sobs quietly in the background 😂
Looooove those Boom Racing gun metal 16-hole stamped steelies. I have a set of those myself. I also have the fancier looking diff knob center cup upgrades to go along.
The cucv has a 3-color camo that is green, brown and black. And the interiors where normally a brown leather bench seat.
🎵I can see clearly now the tint has gone. I can see all obstacles in my way.🎵
😂
There's instant reverse on the remote. The 4 little switches control the drag brake. The instant reverse and more depending when are up and which are down . The manual will tell you which combination warrants what mode.
Cheers
Nice! Thanks for the tips!
Would love to see that cab in 1/10 scale.
If I remember right the American CuCV Pick ups had bench seats, and the Jimmies had captains chairs, Not sure if Canadian CuCVS are the same, but seeing as the limited space in cabs vs wagons id say they more then likely had bench seats aswell.
Another great episode. My ‘82 GMC that I drove when I was 16 had a bench seat. I modified my blazer interior and laid styrene over the bucket seats and gave it a bench seat. It did turn out a little narrow so printing one may be better.
Good video man. The apache 6x6 is cool. When the game snow runner first came out they had one in the game and it was the best scout vehicle in the game at the time. I enjoyed the game so I may get one just because of me playing with one in the game.
I saw a rough CUCV yesterday while I was out driving and tried to chase it down to take pictures for you but he got away. I'll keep looking for that elusive unicorn. Great work Matt and I hope you have a great weekend!
Seeing a unicorn out in the wild? I'm jealous!
With the FMS apache, I don't think the steering wheel is actually oversized. Those old trucks have massive steering wheels since they didn't have power steering.
I never thought of that! Good point and thanks for your comment!
My mom used to drive a Chevy truck like this for the forest service. Light green would look good. Just an idea.
Probably mentioned by now, the Apache is a homage to the Spintires model, which in turn was roughly based on the yellow custom one running on a duece n a half chassis. Iirc the real one was built by some of your countrymen.
Seriously, just great content. Thanks for letting us into your projects as they evolve. Much appreciated. Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Love you long time! Keep these rolling dude, they are fuel to my inspo tank!!😊
Likey Feng Feng
Glad you like them!
Yes bench seats.. at least the ones we had in the seabees were
Another great video man but you might have to start another series "what's next to the bench" haha. That Honcho is looking good!
😂
I need to start wearing a drool catcher every time you bring out the Chevy pick up, what a beautiful looking truck and it looks so close to the real thing its insane. Your Chevy and " pardon my newb"s " Dodge pick up are the two best looking RC trucks out there, period. Thanks for showing the CC Hand interior I didn't know this existed and now I may get one for my Bronco. I agree about the 4X4 Apache, that would look much better than the 6X6 since they did such a nice job with the cab. Another great video Matt thanks for all the info, have a good one..Mike.
Hi Mike! That is one of the nicest compliments about the Chevy. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!
all square body trucks were bench seat civ or milspec. most civ seats were a cloth of some form but the cucvs were clean the interior with a garden hose vinyl as well they had rubber door to door floor covering. blazers and subs and possibly 3+3s obviously excluded. also there were a few dealer addon companies that would offer a bucket center console setup for the civ trucks but gm never did, unless theres some weirdo hippy unicorn special edition that ive never heard of
That's very helpful, thank you and thanks for watching!
Check out the Snowrunner game. You can drive the Apache in action.
Oh my! What a large bench you have!
That's what she said 😉
I will be getting one of the Apache 6x6’s
An idea for you and your TRX Bronco for you, something i did for my wifes Bronco. She wanted interior roof lights so I added traxxas part number #8026X and just used double sided tape to hold them in place. Lights up the interior nicely and looks fairly realistic.
Good stuff.
And the traxx ass segments give me time to get a cup of coffee and mess with the cat.
The 6X6 was featured in a video game. Can't remember the name. I'm wondering if that's where FMS got the idea.
Cats and coffee... perfect combination. Thanks for watching!
My truck did the same thing with the suspension link I had to make a new hole besides that great truck trying to find out how to put a brushed winch on it with the spare channel
I look forward to the W.o.t.b. jingle every week.
Thanks for watching!
That bumper is 👌🏼
Love the consistency in uploads we love it
Thank you!
The rear bumper turned out great!!!
Thank you!
You should build the Apache as a cab forward van/truck.
Interesting idea. Thanks for watching!
Looks like the rear axles.. need to move forward a little bit. Wheels don't line up in the wheel wells. Lest that's what it looks like to me.
6x6s are just more fun.
I'd convert my 'Why is it this color?' Hilux into a 6x6 but I wanted to give it a matching trailer instead.
I really wish the would make those bodys in 1/10ish scale so we could actually use them on our crawling rigs 🤔
Smells good in here 🤘
Time to make a bigger bench
You think that interior will clear my Bronco battery?
Absolutely. NOT.
Another fantastic episode of WOTBW, who's hand do i have to shake to get one of those nifty hats?
It was a gift, but it's from a company called Something Nice. Thanks for watching!
Thank you Matt! Wish Axial or Traxxas had a 6x6 18th or 12th!
A flatbed would look much better on the chevy 6x6. Make it look like a proper farm truck.
I love that you're doing a Canadian CUCV. Made me wonder if you're Canadian, if you've said it before I just discovered your awesome channel a few weeks ago and just started getting into RC
Keep up the awesome work
I'm Canadian and live in Toronto! Thanks for watching and welcome to the hobby!
@@scalebuildersguild I did not know that you were Canadian! Explains the truck. I had commented on one of your other videos about the headlights, I had no idea these existed. I love that they DO exist, because when I was a kid I had a 73 K10 pickup, and I just did a Google image search and the round-eye CUCV looks awesome!
Great video again Matt. I have used a lot of CCHand products and none of them came with instructions.
I fixed the reverse light problem on the Apache, much better now.
Most was a bench seat.. I didn’t realize the USA and Canadian trucks was different..
Shout out to those that recognize the 6x6 from mudrunner and snowrunner...🤠
It is also a real truck! It is a custom build!
I can't imagine there would be much difference between the trucks built for the US military and the Canadian military. Other than the gauges being US and metric and maybe the voltage, I don't know if the Canadian military runs everything on 24 volts like US military do or if they run 12 volt. The smaller details might depend more on which department the truck was built for than the country. Like air force or army; the air force units might be closer to a civilian truck, but they are all pretty much the most stripped-down basic model with a bench seat Chevy made. So, for most of the small stuff you could probably copy a US truck. The serial numbers and unit markings might be what you need to find to really make it a Canadian truck.
Honestly the CUCV is one of the more interesting builds, because at least here in the states military surplus vehicles are hugely popular. You can snag even the bigger trucks for under $15k, the Humvees are kinda pricey for being grossly underpowered uncomfortable boxes. The biggest automotive let down I have ever experienced.
The only thing I found in a quick search is you Canadians are getting screwed on the price of even beat up used surplus equipment, $25,000 CAN for a 1967 2 1/2 ton truck is just ridiculous.
This is great information, and I appreciate your comments. Thanks for watching!
The Apache 6x6 is a nod to the Spintire game. I'm a much bigger fan of the side step bed but I gotta admit, the 6x6 looks pretty nice! Yes, this is FMS's 3rd 6x6. First one was the Power Wagon, 2nd was the Cheyenne. Appreciate your content as always!
It's a real custom truck.
Thank you!
@@akoshorvath-risko5838 Good to know. Figured someone had to have made one. I've only seen it in the video game though. Cheers!
I have lost so many hours of my life to Snowrunner
@@scottmontz6664 so worth it though 😍
I think everybody would like the Apache as 4 wd. A car hauler would fit perfect.
Wow! That CUCV project is amazeballz! 😀👌Aaand it will probably be the tipping point for me buying a 3D printer at last! So what printer would you recommend if you had to choose just ONE technology? I’m leaning towards resin but I haven’t decided.
If you want to print anything large and structural FDM is going to be better. I have the Prusa I3MK3+. Thanks for watching and good luck!
Maybe you could help understand why there isn't a 4speed crawler on the market. 2speed transmission with a divorce 2speed transfer case would be more scale and more fun!
Certainly, but more complicated and takes more room. Thanks for watching!
What tyres did you put on the Bronco? I can't seem to find the video where you put them on..
Also, I'm really enjoying the CUCV build 👌🏼👍🏼
I think I stole the Falken wildpeaks off the Basecamp. Thanks for watching!
@@scalebuildersguild I thought they looked like Wildpeaks! I'm going to try and find some.
Thanks for the entertainment 👍🏼
Looks like it would be fairly simple to shorten those fenders back to normal, and build a 4X4.
Probably, if I didn't have a dozen projects already!
The cucv trucks were bench seats like all of the k30 trucks, but I’m really digging that truck though. I’m on the fence about that Apache as a 6x6 to be completely honest, I like the fms rc’s I’ve got the k10 Chevy. They’re fun for playing around the yard or a smaller scale course, but I’m going to get the trx4m really digging that one.
I kinda pass on that fms Chevy! For some reason I don’t like it! But the bronco look sweet Matt! Nice! Great content!👌😎👍
Thanks 👍
The FMS Atlas 6x6 appears to be the same chassis but it is definitely the same as the ROC 6x6 Cheyenne. The FMS Atlas has plastic gears that break super easy but the Apache and Cheyenne have metal gears. I am hoping to swap axles overs on my Atlas to these axles instead of the SCX24 axle swap.
The Mexican version of the cheyenne it used to have a bench seat. I think.
"I'm talking about progress!"- Ted Lasso I mean Matt
You know how much I love Ted Lasso, so comparing me is a HUGE compliment!
Great episode man.
The cuvc is really coming along.
Great work on the small details.
The fms is cool to.
Odd... but the body is nice.
Cool to see proper interiors for the trx.
Well proper ish haha.
The scx6 honcho is awesome, and great tire choice.
So when is the scx6 x6 coming hahahaha
Thanks!
I was told by an older gentleman a few years ago that the small blocks in the square body's from Canada were painted gm blue us was orange how true this is I'm not sure but it's a detail to look into not sure if it applies to the canadian cucvs most of ours are 80's models with 6.2l Detroit diesels
Thanks for the tips and thanks for watching!
Pretty sure they were only OD green since most the trucks I see at valcartier base in shannon QC are monocolour
That is very helpful, merci! Thanks for watching!
I do see myself using the Apache cab on something else......
The bed , not so much
It has a bench seat
Love that apache. Are you going to build the apache like the apache from snowrunner? Cucv are k30s. Most had bench seats I don’t know much about the Canadian trucks, but some American trucks had extra lights, and a small amount of them where modified to have skid plates.
Sorry for poor grammar.
I'm probably going to leave this one stock. Thanks for watching!
My k10 came with two gas tanks and zero gas caps hehehe. The steering wheel in the apache may not be oversized, they used bigger steering wheels before power steering. You shoulda seen the size of the steering wheels in my vw busses, goddamn moon saucers they were...
🤘bwaahaahaa🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘
🤘
"That's what she said"
Not trying to get too personal but I think I used to work with you. This guy looked just like you just 10 years younger. (The last time I saw him was 10 years ago) his name is Matt. We worked in Memphis Tn. I won’t mention the place unless you want to confirm. It would be awesome if you are him.
I've never worked in Memphis, and am based in Toronto, Canada. I can confirm that's not me, but am curious to find out who my doppelganger is! Thanks for watching!
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
@scalebuildersguild please explain the blackout light and power couplers. Please and thanks.
CUCVs are military trucks so they need blackout lights so they can't be seen at night. Thanks for watching!
@@scalebuildersguild no dramas mate, any time. Also. What's the power coupler for? Is that the stuff to keep engines warm overnight and such?
Bench seats
My K10 came with two pens. 😂
😂
Where gonna need a bigger bench
It looks like the mirrors have been removed from Knights customs MMF page.
I believe they’re part of the package deal.
@@scalebuildersguild thank you, for some reason they don't show up if you just search for mirror.
What is a C.U.C.V. ? Looks like a a regular pick up
Military spec Pickups, built specially for that use.
Can I put the tires on my 1/10 SCX 10/3 Jeep Gladiator JT?
Which tires? If it's the Toyo tires, they should work.
Wasn’t this supposed to be a big block 454 truck engine instead of the small block in there
I haven't seen the real thing!
The link for the Bronco interior doesn't work!!😂
That's correct, it doesn't!
I can’t tell you how much I wish this FMS would have been a 4x4. It’s a great looking body but 6x6 just isn’t my thing.
Ps, it would be pretty rad to see you chop the chassis and turn it into its native 4WD state.
Check out what Turksandjerps did... I think you'll like it! Thanks!
@@scalebuildersguild I saw that. Looks awesome. He and I have been chatting back and forth a little on that one. I was concerned the the resident Smiggin's Samsquanch was going to carjack it now.
Something tells me you need a bigger bench!
Which means I need a bigger house!
CAN WE GET A BLK DRIVER 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
There were far too many missed "that's what she said" opportunities in this one. I guess I'll forgive you...this time. 🤪
😂
i dont usually comment on youtube, but i have to in this case.... im actually asking a favor from you, that will improve your scale accuracy, because no one really seams to catch on or pay much attention to it... the rain guards, around the top of the two doors, they DO NOT completely surround the top of the doors... they run from just above the window line at the back of the door, above the door handle, up and over the top of the door, BARELY curving over the top front curve of the door, and stop right before the windshield.... please PLEASE fix yours to match the 1;1... many may not even notice it, but its an eyesore to those of us who have perfection/ attention to detail in an extremely high level.... build is beautiful so far!!!!!
Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely take a look. Thanks for watching!
Where can I find Turks and jerks parts or videos? Thanks
TurksandJerps is his username. Here on CZcams.
9:20 your eyes are fine, the whole body looks a tad to far forward
CHEVROLET APACHE IS NOT A NoVeLtY 6x6 IS WAY BETTER THAN 4x4!
Algorithm
I've watched two reviews from industry suckholes who have not mentioned the messed up body to axle alignment on that FMS thing... Was counting on you calling it out because it's driving me mad that people accept that and that the factory let it go like that 😆 Seems that I've officially crossed into the "old man shouting at flies" stage of life.
Ha! It bugged me right away too, so maybe we're both old men shouting at flies!
cucv related comment - i expect a reply lol
