New toys for my collection - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

hgs_notes · 02-13-2006, 11:29 AM

Here are a few new additions since Christmas. The dump truck is based on a 67-72 cab, but the grill area looks more like a C-50 style. The New Holland one is the same as the Ace Hardware truck that you can find. There is also an Indian Motorcycle version of this and some others I've come across. I can't afford to buy every version though. The green ertl truck has a plain blue version also, they have a GMC grill. I just bought a second Wix Blazer on ebay. I also have the US Marshal version of the blazer, but the police lights are missing.

There is one hot wheels version of the 69 custom that I need yet. It's the red one with the lower body stripes, the Haul N Asphalt version. They have them on ebay, but $8-10 with shipping seems excessive, which is probably why they have been listed forever without selling. If someone has an extra for sale, PM me.

Those are some nice diecast. I have some that I like and modify too.

Don't worry I have another one.

Andy, I like what you've done. The yellow step side should have the bed two-tone also, like the trailer. I can't recall seeing any two tone step sides, though I'm sure they are out there.

Are these all diecast or are some plastic? And where did you get the panel? I know of one diecast panel 67 available, but haven't seen any other models or otherwise.

Very nice work though. I love the front opening hood and suicide doors. Have you done anything like the Von Dutch style ones, or removed the center ridge from the hood to make it flatter looking? I'm thinking of using a modified 67-68 hood on my 71 with the ridge removed.

Most of them are metal. The stepside bed is plastic. I haven't come across any metal steps yet. Yes I know the step should have been done two tone just couldn't figure a good way to do it and it look right.
The panel is a post office one I repainted it. By ertle Check my home page out I put a original picture of it on there.
As far as the hoods no haven't done much work on them in awhile.
I have some of the larger dubs I want to put the Esclade front end on a chevy truck. Some day maybe.

Here is a new addition as of today. Bought it in Rockhill SC yesterday. The flat bed. I have had the truck for awhile. I have two red flatbeds and one green. I also have the same truck in 1/24 scale in yellow.

I've been collecting for some time. I buy everything I can that has to do with these trucks. I have over 15 copier paper boxes full of stuff. That doesn't include all the other stuff. I have no idea how much Hotwheels stuff I have. That's another story.
