Diecast models... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

kballan · 09-10-2003, 03:43 AM

Have any of you ever seen a diecast metal model of our trucks? I collect these and have yet to ever find one. I've got a '48, a '55, and a '65. I'd like to find one preferably in 1/18 scale, but will take one in 1/24 too.

Nope

I found this while cleaning out the garage a couple of weeks ago. It's the same size as your standard Hot Wheels, but this isn't one. On the bottom it says Chevrolet, and Made in Hong Kong. It has a 73-80 style grill and even has Chevrolet on the tailgate.

sweet!

bigblock73 · 09-10-2003, 02:01 PM

not a die-cast, but a R/C version I am building from scratch....

bigblock73 · 09-10-2003, 02:01 PM

Not better, try "only one available"

heheh

And it will still be faster than your truck!

Looks like it'll be a fun toy to "cruise" with!

Jeff, what does the design on the hood of your diecast truck look like? Can we have another pic?

84Stepper · 09-11-2003, 11:27 PM

Man I could have sworn I saw one at The Chevy parts store at a dealership here in Ok. I remember looking at them there was a 72 bagged on 20's and a 73-87 bagged on 20's.

kballan · 09-11-2003, 11:37 PM

If there was one that was bagged on 20's, It was probably the DubCity line. I don't think that they have a 73-87 body style yet though. I've got a 2000 S-10 that's rolling 20's in a diecast from them. Last time I checked their website, they didn't have one. If they come out with one, I'll be getting one right away!
