Default CAD file

I know that this is probably a far fetch, aint ever gonna happen thing, but does any one have, or knows how to get the cad files for our trucks?

I am specifically lookin for a 3d model of the front bumper, grill, hood, front fenders and lights of our trucks,

Thanks!

Thanks Dakotaff! That is defenatly some good info there.

I am trying to make my own brush guard. I work in a CNC Machine shop, and i have access to Autodesk Inventor. I was thinking that i could import a model of the truck, and build the guard *******ly and then see if i like it, before i spend too much money on material. It may be a little overkill, but it gives me something to do.

Again thanks Yall!

I use Autodesk Inventer, Autocad and Revit. I know exactly what your looking for. What version will it need to be in? I have access to lots of 3d files. I'll see what i can find.

Awesome! Id appreciat anything that you can send me!

I am running Autodesk Inventor 2011, and I can open just about anything. (i think) I know i can import SolidWorks, Catia, and all Autodesk files. I also have Catia V5 R17, but i dont have a computer that i can get it to run on anymore. Ill PM you with my email address.

I have access to Autocad Mechanical Desktop, but I cant use it as good as i can use Inventor.


Thanks A LOT!!!
