Hot wheels at last!
I have been checking Wal-mart once a week ever since I heard about them on this board. My wal-mart stocks over 600 hot wheels and today I got two(bought them out). I am like a kid in a candy store. Thanks, Lyman.

Found 3 at Food Lion. They have them at every register, so the search can be fun, if the store is not crowded.
You guys get out to Wal Mart and the mall too much for my taste!! ------------------ Rod Childers '71 C10 Stepside

I got one at the local Safeway the other night. My wife thought I was about half nuts searching through the stack, but she finally gave in and helped me look.
Mine is an orange short stepside. Are they all the same? It looks okay, but the paint could be a little better... It lives in the shop, sitting next to my #3 car.

My local Wally World keeps most of the Hot Wheels in a bin. The other day I dug thru and found 8.... Then I went to the selves and a guy had 2 in his hand and asked me if I had seen any in the bin!! I told him the truth, "I don't think there are any in the bin."
Have fun, Ron King www.kingparts.com

I've got about 10 of them and yes they are all the same, well almost. I've converted one to a fleetside, shaved it, added a bedcover and wheelie bar. Another one is still sporting the step bed but is riding on "bags". Now if only it was that cheap to do to a real truck!

I just found mine today. My son saw it and asked why I got a smaller one just like mine. I stared to think about it, this is just like I wanted to do up the GMC (except the stupid grill)
I got mine perched right on top of my moniter. ------------------ '69 G.M.C. 350/350. Trying to clean up the left over damage from the Dope-Smokin-Old-Man I've been dubbed the Longhorn Freak/Fanatic/Expert, I just hope I can live up to it. FINALLY got the HORNIAC...a '70 one ton Longhorn with a Pontiac 350/350 and lots of 'personality'. Check out The Longhorn Webite.

This Hot Wheels addiction is GREAT! Won't cause cancer, rot your teeth or land you in divorce court. I'm starting my collection today.
