FS25 1970 Chevrolet K20 4×4 (Short Wheel Base) v1.0

A deeply personal tribute project turned full-featured mod.
This truck isn’t just a mod—it’s a memory.

Built from the ground up as a tribute to a custom truck my dad and I built when I was a kid. This truck is modeled after the exact Frankenstein rig we pieced together from a 1969 C60 tow truck and various parts from 79-82 K20 trucks around our place. We never quite got to finish it the way we wanted—especially the drivetrain and wheels—but with this mod, I feel like I finally got to do right by that dream. I know the ol’ man would’ve been proud of what came out of it.

A Quick Note From Me

This mod has been in the works for a long time—and while I’ve pushed to make it as polished as possible, there are a few things still being worked on (and I know y’all will probably catch a few more I missed). I want to get this first version out so people can enjoy it, and I’ll be patching things up soon.
Known Issues / WIP Notes
The whole factory bed wasn’t really part of my original vision, and it definitely needs some rework. I’ll get it sorted in a future update.
The cake feeder is currently just a visual prop
Interior dash/interior lights and gauges are not yet functional or animated (except the steering wheel)
Some suspension parts might not align 100% depending on the lift kit used

This project sounds truly special and heartfelt, turning your childhood memories and dreams into a full-featured mod. It's evident that a lot of effort and care has gone into recreating your dad's and your custom truck, with attention to detail in both the exterior and interior features.

The inclusion of the 1969-1972 Chevrolet K20 4×4 SWB model, along with the 5.9 Cummins engine and sound, adds an authentic touch to the mod. The dynamic suspension, animated hood and doors controlled by mouse, detailed interior with color options, and the wide variety of customization choices like wheels, lift sizes, bed styles, exhaust configurations, and body accessories all contribute to making this mod versatile and engaging for players.

The functional elements like the front winch, cab lights, dynamic antenna setups, and moveable Go Light enhance the immersive experience of using the mod in-game. The variety of bed item add-ons, front vanity tag options, rear window sticker selections, and interior items offer further customization possibilities for players to personalize their virtual truck according to their preferences.

It's considerate of you to share the known issues and work-in-progress notes, showing transparency and commitment to improving the mod further. Addressing the factory bed rework and making the cake feeder functional in future updates, as well as enhancing the interior functionalities like dash lights and gauges, will likely enhance the overall user experience and authenticity of the mod.

Overall, this project not only serves as a tribute to your dad and the truck you both envisioned but also provides a unique and well-crafted mod experience for players to enjoy and connect with. Your dedication and passion for this project shine through, and it's apparent that a lot of thought and creativity went into bringing this mod to life.
