81-87 chevy truck plastic model - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bagged01extcab · 09-28-2005, 12:50 AM

I have been looking for a plastic model kit of th 80's chevy truck with a wide bed. I have yet to find one. Does anyone know if they have ever made one? Where can I get one? I have been keeping my eye out for one on ebay, but have had no luck! I was wanting to build a replica model of how my truck will end up, when I'm finished.

Thanks

They look to me to be Dub City models. There all metal I have one of a 70 chevy long bed red/white. You can find them all day long on ebay.

bagged01extcab · 09-28-2005, 09:26 PM

Well, there has been quite a few 70's steppers on there lately. There was at least one if not two on there last nite. They must have went off since then. Keep checking ebay, they seem to be on there alot!

Prerunner1982 · 09-28-2005, 10:18 PM

here are all the steppers that i have, plus the 67-72.. i did the 65 (not shown).. for my dad, except i converted it to 4x4. I would certainly like to find another 73-87. Jeff i still love that RC truck.. sweet work.. i need to improve my modeling skills... i am still trying to find the right stuff to build an operating bagged (actually more like hydraulic) model.. but havent come across actuators that small yet....

odie82 · 09-28-2005, 10:41 PM

here is another one that I'm working on, they are plastic except for the black and silver one thats metal.

bagged01extcab · 09-29-2005, 09:37 PM

Here is a 70's stepper. It's Billy Carter's "Redneck Power"!

i thought you'll were speaking of diecast's.... i have a few of the plastic put togethers... all are revell, i think... the black "street pickup"

79BIG10 · 09-30-2005, 01:22 AM

Seems like you never find a 70's long bed. Closest thing I found to mine was a Fall Guy one and those are really hard to find.

the baron · 09-30-2005, 07:38 AM

What I would like to see is a plastic kit of a 1973-1980 Suburban ...
