You could start on ebay. alot of the diecast sellers have e-stores that list an adittional inventory.

I just did a search on Ebay for HWY61 67-72 trucks and got 0 results. I'd like to see a list of websites listed as well. Bidding is a PIA when you just want to buy the dang thing.

I get quite a few diecasts from Ebay and even if I don't purchase them from Ebay, it is a great place to see what diecasts are out on the market.

I have a saved search for all things 67-72 GM trucks:
(67,68,69,70,71,72,1967,1968,1969,1970,1971,1972) (truck,suburban,sub,burban,blaz,blazer,other,longhorn,pickup,p u) (chevy,gmc,chevrolet,GM)

I use this search and then narrow the categories to "toys & hobbies" and then narrow to "diecast toys and vehicles." Right now 327 items come up under that search (including several Highway 61).

Good luck.

I go directly to Toy & Hobbies/Diecast/Cars,Trucks/Modern Mfgr. I have standard searches from there for GMC Truck,Chevy Truck,Cheyenne,as well as different years. I also look by scale ans manufacturer. I'm just wondering if anyone has places that sell diecast to just go straight to and buy. Many will also put you on an alert system for what you like. Also,there are clubs,like the ones for Greenlight or Hot Wheels,who offer exclusives to members. It's people who buy stuff there that list them on Ebay for inflated prices. I'd like to by from the primary seller. I think everybody knows to look on Ebay for stuff,but what about a finer tuned list?

I found this place. I think I'll start looking here regularly:

so weird, I can't find a '71 anywhere!

Hwy61 makes a 1/18 scale '71 shortbed. I have the latest one with eagle feathers graphics. You might find it listed as a '72
