More Collection Pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**special-K** · 11-18-2011, 09:38 AM

I have a lot of GM Truck replicas that I have no place to display at this point. I have collected toy trucks for a long time and recently have been selling some due to financial woes. It's been hard letting any go.But,I've decided to keep the ones most precious to me...Pretty much all the GM Trucks!

I have a thread showing what is displayed,mostly models and die cast 1/64th:

I stumbled onto these pictures while looking for a certain picture for another member,so I thought I'd share.
This is a pressed steel about the size of a Tonka Toy. One of four trucks displaying Flint,St. Louis,Freemont,and Atlanta assembly plants:

A little Tootseytoy semi:

A bigger El Camino w/camper:

**special-K** · 11-18-2011, 09:45 AM

More Tootsey,Hubley,Budgee,or whatever diecast:

This one feels like it weighs 5#:

**special-K** · 11-18-2011, 09:50 AM

Here are some promos:

**special-K** · 11-18-2011, 09:57 AM

Most of these I bought and just stored away. I've wanted to get them all out and get pictures as a collection. Most,all I have are pictures I saved from the sellers. That's the only good thing about me taking what I've sold to swap meets. I get pictures of a whole bunch out like never before. But it's bittersweet,many in the pictures I'll never see again.I never wanted to sell any. I wanted to have my own museum.

Some Japanese tin:

**special-K** · 11-18-2011, 10:00 AM

Some British die cast:

**special-K** · 11-18-2011, 10:02 AM

Some pressed steel:

**special-K** · 11-18-2011, 10:06 AM

HO slot cars:

Big plastic five & dime store toy:

Small,about HO,plastic:

Tomy Toys diecast (1/87):

**special-K** · 11-18-2011, 10:12 AM

There's a lot I don't have any pictures of. Mostly ones I bought at yard sales,toy shows,antique shops,swap meets,,flea markets,etc.

Some older Hot Wheels:

**special-K** · 11-18-2011, 10:23 AM

Ertl did some diecasts in 1/24th and 1/87th and they're GMCS!

Lavender one bottom right and yellow one upper left:

Remember Stompers?

I have the ones my son had,too. He'll probably want them one day. Same with my youngest son. I saved all their stuff. Actually bought some duplicates of my youngest's toys just in case he cared enough to have mint vintage versions when he grew up. Hey,when your dad's a collect-o-maniac...

**special-K** · 11-18-2011, 10:30 AM

I went on a custom Hot Wheels kick for a while. I haven't been seeing them on Ebay lately.

Original paint w/tire/wheel swaps:

Custom paint. How do they do it?

Spectra Flame w/redlines:

**special-K** · 11-18-2011, 10:34 AM

I did some of my own customs. Went with factory paint color on these. I have more planned...someday:

**special-K** · 11-18-2011, 10:36 AM

These are 4wd conversions I did:

**special-K** · 11-18-2011, 10:42 AM

I'll finish up with my van model collection. Watch out,don't get addicted!

See what I mean? I never even liked Kiss!

CREWCABGMC · 11-18-2011, 11:48 AM

NICE COLLECTION!!!!

**special-K** · 11-21-2011, 06:32 AM

I have stuff like this that's not so vintage,but all GM!

**special-K** · 11-21-2011, 06:47 AM

A few more not so old diecast and pressed steel:

**special-K** · 11-23-2011, 10:08 AM

A promo I was really glad to nab:

**special-K** · 11-26-2011, 11:11 AM

Here's the only First Gear '67 I have. I was at a Napa store out of town when visiting a friend recently and there it was. It's from '10. I'm surprised I never knew about this one. I've been wanting one of these First Gear '67s,but without advertising. I do like this one,though. Also got a Harley Davidson dealer series '51 Chevy made,I think,by Spec Cast:

**special-K** · 11-29-2011, 09:54 AM

Here's a couple pictures of trucks I have displayed...kinda forgot about. The first is a Hubley diecast,then two Auburn Rubber:
