Making the "Terror Truck" from Leatherface Texas Chainsaw Massacre III

[SkullKid2000]

Okay, so I forgot my original account's password. Also the e-mail used with that account is closed since a while ago. But anyway's...

 

I have been watching Leatherface - Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, and I really like that truck that one of the members of Leatherface's family (Tinker Sawyer) drives first, until later when Leatherface himself takes the wheel and gives chase against the last victims.

 

This beast of a truck which is a lifted Ford F-100 stepside from 1959 I think. My hope is to make either the Walton in Grand Theft Auto Vice City to look like this truck or any other vehicle from the vanilla game. I do got some modeling skills in Blender, and Gmax with KAM's script is already installed and ready to mod the game.

 

I had a thought of getting a chainsaw into Grand Theft Auto 5, but I think that's a little more complicated than just adjusting a vehicle already existing in Grand Theft Auto Vice City. After all the film Leatherface  - Texas Chainsaw Massacre III was released in 1990, but I think is based in the late 1980's, so it's not more than right that I do this for Grand Theft Auto Vice City.

 

Lastly, some screenshots of the truck in the film.

why not for San Andreas? it have advanced engine, higher developed, is more flexible and better for modding

Spartan112 has a nice stepside walton, ask him if you can edit it, would save a lot of work.

I prefer Vice City.

Ah, I'll take a look. Thanks. I will ask him for his permission for sure.

 

EDIT: I cannot compose a private message, but if you colby could ask him to take a look at my thread, I'd be really grateful! As it requires some editing to put on human skin on the hood, double (a total of four) front headlights, and four behind the roof.

Also, it requires some bigger tyres, and some different, smaller rims.

No reply from Spartan112 yet. I sent him a message through a message form, included my e-mail. So I might as well get his permission to lift his Walton-based truck, and put on some nice, big tyres on it.

Not too long ago (yesterday I think.) I installed the Grand Theft Auto Vice City Deluxe Edition total conversion mod, and so far I really really like it. Especially the Chevrolet Silverado and I think it fulfills my wish in getting a lifted pickup-truck into Grand Theft Auto Vice City.

[SkullKid2000]

I am currently playing vanilla of Grand Theft Auto Vice City, completely unmodded. If anybody knows of any place where I can download any form of lifted pickup truck for Vice City specifically, then feel free to reply here.

I haven’t read all the post.but I actually just met the guy yesterday who built this truck.and know where this truck is in LA.im suppose to buy the bed off it for my 53 ford and hope it’s the same.btw,he said it’s a 57.so I was online trying to find the pic of the truck as it was in the movie

I just noticed this was about video games so I’m sorry.i didn’t look to see what we sight I was on.hasta

The modeling process has started.

[SkullKid2000]

Had some trouble getting the wheels symmetric, but I'm kind of satisfied with the result.

Things have changed a lot since last time. Although now I'm starting to lean this project more towards a stand-alone 3D model, and not specifically for Grand Theft Auto Vice City.

[SkullKid2000]

Some more progress.

 

[SkullKid2000]

Basically done.

 

[SkullKid2000]

A tad too low. So I lifted it by approximately 4 inches (10 centimeters).

Tires are improved. Looking better now.

 

Edit: Tires and wheels pushed in a bit.

As the old links are dead, here's some new one's of the truck.

... and with the original saw, and sledge.

Interior is starting to take shape...

[SkullKid2000]

I am now trying to get the Walton into Vice City with roof lights as well as the main headlights. Would this be possible with a dummy light object on the rollbar as well?
