Model Trucks
It's almost Christmas time and I'd like to get son #1 a model 1968 Chevrolet C-10. Does anyone know where I can get such a model kit? All I've seen is '72's.

Sold what was left of it for $800 to a guy who came to pick it up at 11:00 PM with cash in hand. Hmm. '79 Sierra Grande (Black) organ donor - perfect rebuildable 4-bolt 350 and a good TH350.

Ebay will have a lot of the older trucks because currently even the 72's aren't avaliable anymore

You would have to go on Ebay. The 68 model is very hard to find and brings big bucks because it was only made in 68. The closest I hav been able to find is a 69 and I paid $40 for it. They do make them in dicast but I would rather build it in plastic...
