Well as you can see, I went to Loews to pick up some supplies. I have in mind exactly what I will be doing and is similar to what alot of members have here, but I'm adding a little bonus to it. You will see what I have in store when I'm done. Hopefully it will be done by the weekend.
If you guys like, you can guess whats gonna be added.......Its part of the stand, but to make it interesting, you can think out of the box, LOL.

UPDATE: The stand can hold the truck right side up and if you flip the stand upside down, it can can hold the truck upside down as well. Also there is an optional swivel that works flawlessly and hold the truck really well. I used Aged Iron textured spray paint (took 2 1/2 cans) so that it will give some grip when the truck is on the stand and it does not really slip.
I'm putting together a diagram with the specs and hopefully will be up this week. I've had some issues at home and could not get to it.

Stand with Swivel Parts
Base
1. 1/2in x 10ft PVC
2. Elbows x8
3. Tees x9
4. Cross x1
5. 3-Way x4 (My hardware store had the 3way where the bottom was threaded so I needed to get x4 threaded male adapters. This is not needed if your 3-way is not threaded)

Cap for optional swivel in center (Above cross portion in center)
1. Riser extender x1
2. Plug x1

Swivel
1. 45 degree x8
2. Plug x4
3. Tees x3
4. Male Adapter 1/2in x 3/4in and 1/2in Coupling OR 1/2in Riser Extender (Both of these options work, but I felt the 1/2in to 3/4in was more stable. When at the hardware store, see which is more to your liking)

Other
1. 2 1/2 cans of Aged Iron textured spray paint. It gave a nice feel to it where the truck wont slip, but you can use what you like.
2. All-Purpose PVC cement glue. I only used this for the 3 Tees on the base of the stand but it was not needed at all.

NOTE: Any part that does not have a measurement I linked together with a 1 1/4 piece of PVC

I'm looking to build this stand

does anyone know the pipe sizes?

Uk please...


 
Tom...Give me til the weekend and you will see what I come up with. Very similar to what I'm thinking.
If you want that exact one, one of my recent threads has a link to the thread on that stand.
 
Great, all this clickin for nothing, I was hoping it had a set of boobs or something EXTRA like that....

Lol I need a legit stand, not a range rifle stand...
 
What were you thinking? Maybe I can come up with something if its along the lines of this PVC stuff?

Lmaooo

a drink dispenser to save you the walk to the fridge? :)
 
Here I thought it was going to be something exciting on the stand like a wet bar or a cappuccino maker....
 
Well Phase 1 of 3 is done for the Stand. Phase 2 is the bonus which should be complete tomorrow and Phase 3 will have to wait til the weather gets a little better so I can paint it.
Check the 1st post for all the pics.
More to come tomorrow as well as specs.
