So....I'm still a kid. I made this yellow one 4 years ago....BEFORE I bought the real thing. There's also some more pics of of SNB trucks. Most are still projects, but YES these are hot wheels, and YES I'm still six, and yes I love hot wheels. Thought I'd share.

68shortfleet · 11-10-2006, 02:41 AM

As a Hot Wheels collector myself, i really like those. I have several of the chevy stepsides HW's. Every time tey come out with a new color or even change the wheels, I buy it.
Very fun, cheap hobby.

Bad71chev406sbc · 11-10-2006, 04:48 AM

the blueish/black one with the big ol rallies....I bought the HW for under a buck, and bought the doner car for the wheels for $4!

Andy4639 · 11-10-2006, 09:13 AM

Man I have been a collector now for 20 years worth of them. My wife hates those things, but I love everyone of them. I did these up this summer.
I have all kinds of them.

You can still get them very seldomy. jadatoys.com are the folks that make them...I think there's only like 4 different ones. Here's some pics...

They are now making the square body trucks, 81-87:

hgs_notes · 11-10-2006, 06:59 PM

There are two more of the jada one. A yellow and white 2 tone a a black one with flames.

Heres one made by Marx. I also have a small plastic one and have no idea who made it. I found it at an antique shop.

Then there is the Bell Systems one from Ertl. Unique, it has a GMC grill and a Chevrolet tailgate.

I know this is a truck site and you all are posting pics of your Hot wheels Chevy trucks, but I just had to post a pic of my 38 Ford Hot wheel. I hope you all don't mind

jimmydean · 11-10-2006, 09:55 PM

I have the black Von Dutch because some day my truck will look just like that.

Andy4639 · 11-10-2006, 11:14 PM

I don't, I likem' all. I have a soft spot for the rod ones.

Bad71chev406sbc · 11-11-2006, 03:20 PM

gotta love'em! HOTWHEELS: LEADIN THE WAY! Dicasts are where my love are. I forgot about the yellow/white and the black/flames by jada. I've got both of them, how could i forget...ohwell!

Andy, those are awesome! I like what you did to the elcamino.

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 11-11-2006, 07:44 PM

I bought the Harley one off evil bay for $5 the guy said he custom painted it.
Couldnt pass it up for Only $5. Oh yea plus $3.50 for shipping Still had to have it.

lilpup69chevy · 11-11-2006, 07:57 PM

i have some of the bigger jada 72 cheyenne trucks from the dub series i think they are 1/24 scale they are slammed when you get them but i figured out you could take them apart and raise it up some or slam it in the front and raise it in the back for a raked look guess i'll have to take some pictures of mine

Bad71chev406sbc · 11-11-2006, 08:44 PM

I thought that looked custom. I might do the same to one of mine.

Jayman931 · 11-11-2006, 10:12 PM

post a pic my good man. I havn't seen them yet.

Andy4639 · 11-12-2006, 02:34 AM

Here is a couple of my 1/24 Dub City trucks by Jada modified by ACF. This first one is my best one I think.
The bed is made out of bossawood and I used the side trim for the bed rails on it. I hand made the simulators on it to to match my real truck.

This is my everyday driver. I have had it since 1986 and put the TPI in it in 1987.I have the LED's brake lights also.

This is a diecast and plastic model put together to make the step side bed. The diecast bed is the trailer. Hand made the surf-boards out of real wood.

These pictures where taken as I was working on it, and I haven't taken anymore of it since I got done with it. How do you like those meats under there!

The panel isn't a Jada.

IvelDesigns · 11-12-2006, 06:06 AM

those are all awesome!! might need to start making a few of my own.

72armyswbtruck · 11-12-2006, 07:08 PM

Tell me about it, I just started collecting these lovely models and already have over 10 of them

Jayman931 · 11-13-2006, 07:19 PM

Here ya go....69' custom stepside with red lines
