This is the truck I've wanted in BeamNG for a long time. A late-'50s Fleetside, fully soft-body, built from scratch with two completely different chassis under it. Run it as a stock work truck, a lifted mud truck or a hot rod, or swap to the lowrider frame and hit the switches.

8 configs out of the box

Truck chassis

• Base: 4.1L inline-six, column-shift 3-speed, RWD
• V8 Automatic: 4.5L V8, 4-speed auto
• 4x4 Work Truck: 4.5L V8, 5-speed manual, 4WD
• Hot Rod: 5.5L V8, 5-speed, sport suspension, LSD, 15x9 steelies
• Mud Truck: 5.5L V8, lifted leaf-sprung solid axles, lockers, 33" mud tires

Lowrider chassis

• Lowrider: hydraulics on all four corners, 14" smoothies, thin whitewalls
• Lowrider Hopper: 5.5L V8, hydraulics, dog dish caps, titanium spark blocks
• Lowrider Cruiser: static drop on sport springs, 15" smoothies

Swap chassis any time from the parts menu (Frame slot). Both frames take the standard bed or the lowrider bed with the raised floor for the pumps and batteries.

Hydraulics

Uses the base-game lowrider keys, so if you've driven the Grand Marshal lowrider you already know them.

• T: hop all four · Shift+T: front · Alt+T: rear
• Shift+F / Shift+H: hop left / right side
• Shift+G: raise all · Alt+G: lay the frame
• Shift+1 to 4 / Alt+1 to 4: raise or lower each corner
• Shift+5 / Shift+6: three-wheel left or right, and you can still drive it

The hydraulic configs run a posi rear end with extra rear droop, so both rear tires stay on the road when you've got a front wheel in the air.

Spark blocks

Skid shoes bolted to the frame rails on the lowrider chassis. Lay the frame or drop the rear while you're moving and they throw sparks out the back. Three metals, and each one sparks differently:

• Steel: orange-yellow sparks that burst out
• Magnesium: dense, blinding white
• Titanium: bright white with long blue-white streaks

The details

• Working doors, hood, tailgate and lights, with real crumple zones
• Live door mirrors and a working rear-view mirror
• 4K PBR textures baked in Substance Painter: light edge wear down to primer, grime in the cracks, a bit of dust. Paint any color you want and the wear sits on top.
• Paint 1 is the body, paint 2 is the grille, interior and dash
• Every part slot except the drivetrain is unique to this truck, so parts from other mods won't end up on it where they don't fit. Wheels and tires are hand-picked base-game parts that clear the fenders at full lock and full bump.

Install

Drop the zip into your BeamNG mods folder without unzipping it:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\BeamNG\BeamNG.drive\current\mods\
Then find "GR8MOD59 Pickup" under Gavril in the vehicle selector. Needs BeamNG.drive 0.39 or newer, no other mods.

Physics base adapted from BeamNG's D-Series and Grand Marshal. Model and textures by me.
