[JWall]

Does anyone know of any cool 73-80 C-10 (81-87 could work) diecast, hotwheels, etc out there?

I've been searching ebay without much luck but didnt know if there where any specific brand or series I should be looking for.

Thanks for any help.

There are some pretty good Hot Wheels '83),Matchbox ,and Jadas (small,also)

I just found this thread:

Matchbox has the Chevy Stepside which is a '73-'79.
Maisto has the '87 Chevy 1500 that you can find with the wreckers.
Hot Wheels has the '83 Chevy Silverado, but it's harder to find since they've only had 2 regular line variations so far. All the rest have been special models.

Here are some pics of the ones I have...

Very Cool. Those will get me started on what to be searching for.

I have 2 others of the Matchbox model. The Matchbox and Hot Wheels trucks are pretty damn hard to come by. I seriously lucked out on both the Hot Wheels Edelbrock truck and the gold one, which is a Wal-Mart Valentine's Day exclusive. I just happened to find a pair of the Edelbrock trucks hanging on the pegs one day. When I found the Valentine's trucks, I found one hanging on the pegs in the Hot Wheels aisle and was wishing I would find another one. I was walking through the Housewares area with my wife and just happened to see one sitting on an end cap that someone decided they didn't want. Lucky score. The black Hot Wheels Racing truck is also a Wal-Mart exclusive.

Here's a page that shows all the current variations of the Hot Wheels truck: http://hotwheels.wikia.com/wiki/'83_Chevy_Silverado

I still see the gold Maisto wrecker set quite a bit and the blue one every now and then.

Those 1/25th scale Ertls are nice. So are those Tomy 1/64ths. I have some of both. I read somewhere that it's Tomy who makes the comeback Johnny Lightnings.

This company called Trident makes some neat stuff in plastic,in HO scale:

I was digging through some stuff at my parents' house the other day and found an old Yatming Blazer that I put a lot of miles on as a kid. It used to have a nice, springy suspension, but it's pretty much given up the ship now. It's fine, though, since it's dropped now.

Here's a couple I picked up last year.

I think the middle one got packaged on a Friday afternoon at 4:59.
