What about model trucks? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1970c10sb · 12-21-2003, 06:02 PM

Here is one I am working on now. The first pic shows what it USED to look like. The paint had some flaws so I stripped it all down.

Orange Mist 72

Here's the possible 4x4...

4x4

Dirty Dan · 12-21-2003, 07:44 PM

I can't see it

. I wish they would make a 81-87 model truck. I've seen 73-80. I think.

Hey those are sweet!

Hey Dirty Dan they do make an 81-87. AMT just reissued the old Fall Guy truck. It's an 83 GMC short bed...

Here's a Gasser style Blazer I've been working on. I usually sit here and build models while I surf the net.

I am looking for a Black 1972 Blazer with White Top, Ralley Wheels and 35's. Mine looks all stock except the lift and tires on the Ralley Wheels. Thanks

1970c10sb · 12-22-2003, 01:43 PM

1972Blazer, ther was a 72 blazer model done ALONG time ago. th only place ive ever seen them was on ebay. They usually go for a pretty penny though. I'll see if i can find one. As far as your lift and tires, the lift would have to be scratch built and I know a resin caster that makes larger tires.

LeftCoast32 · 12-22-2003, 01:45 PM

I appreciate any help on this!

ratrod67 · 12-22-2003, 01:45 PM

1972Blazer- The kit your looking for is called the Boondocker Blazer. They are pretty pricey. That's the kit the above Blazer was.

Thanks but that on is in real bad shape. I will have to keep my eyes pealed for one of those models.

bouncytruck · 12-22-2003, 02:57 PM

There is a BoonDocker listed on Fred's Model World (http://members.aol.com/jftully/fjs/new.htm) for $5. Here is the description:

T200 72 Blazer Boondocker-built and disassembled, no engine $5

bouncytruck · 12-22-2003, 03:08 PM

I have one of the Ertl cast '69 Blazers that I painted to match my truck. I've got some bigger tires and leaf springs for it, I just need to put it all together.

dubie · 12-23-2003, 10:52 AM

and this is the 55 i did at the same time

wrathchild · 12-23-2003, 07:35 PM

My 69k5..maybe

1970c10sb · 12-23-2003, 09:05 PM

hey ChevyGuyBC, I think tjere was a model made along time ago but most likely it was a stepside. your best bet is to het the new 84 gmc 4x4 and an older chevy 2wd kit and switch cabs. i know of one place that still has the 73-80 2wd (stepside) kit forsale. i'll take a look and make sure they still have it listed.
