If this thing was a step side I'd be all over it...thought some of you fleet-siders might find this interesting

What bugs me is to build a wrecker,it`s a 1/2t with hubcaps.Keep a look out,MPC made one but it`s an 8-footer.Easy to shorten.I don`t build the vintage ones,personally.Look for the AMT`72 GMC short step and swap grilles.They were a re-make not so long ago.

67ChevyRedneck · 08-30-2007, 08:46 AM

Every time I try to bid on one of those, they always get to $50-75

Same thing with the yellow blazer model kit, I think it's called the "boondocker." Cool thing now is that AMT made a new blazer, but no 67-68 truck yet

You can buy a resin one, but they're $$$ too.

I have found a 69 resin grill on ebay, so you can use the 72 kit and have a 69

I`ve seen these truck models go for over $100.

Brock · 08-30-2007, 09:28 PM

I'd like to find one of a Chevy '69 stepside...do they make such a creature? Or are you saying buy the two models and combine them to make one?

**special-K** · 08-31-2007, 06:34 AM

You`d have to "kit bash",there weren`t any made.You`d have to find the`72 GMC Stepside(AMT)and get that`69 grille Craig was talking about.I would only consider building a re-issue,personally.But,this kit was re-issued in the`90s and won`t be that cheap,either.

I won this one last week.

I have that blazer!

Never seen the grill conversion before.

There IS a company that makes shorbed boxes, stepside boxes, and 67-68 cabs/clips. They're all resin. I can't remember if the cab had a small window or not. But they are all resin kits and were posted on the board about a year ago. If I remember correctly, they all go for $50+

They have 72 resin burbs on ebay frequently, I've been thinking about getting one, but I've yet to see an auction that includes the glass for it???

Checkout the link in General for Diecast. I found the sub resin body with the plastic windows for like $55.00

I bid on this,but got sniped,as usual.I`m glad,I put an automatic bid on it without seeing that it wasn`t even complete.I was going to stay with it,though.It`s a great box in condition and artwork,but not worth $50 to me incomplete.I was just going to add it to my display.My 1st bid,I really don`t care for Ebay.
