1969stepside,
If I would have been born on their first one yes! I have 5 brothers and one sister all older than me though. I was born on their 12th anevarsary in 1960.

special-K,
I have a neighbor who is into trains and he has a couple of those trucks that look like our's. Never could really tell though.

Did you end up getting this truck? I had it on my Ebay watch list and forgot to watch. All in all, I am glad I didn't bid you up on the price.

Andy4639 · 09-17-2008, 06:42 PM

Well I started goofing around with the Lexan bodies I bought today. I had some spear time and didn't feel like messing with the real thing so I began playing with this one.
I said I was going to build a custom frame, here is the beginning of it. This is just a trail run. I need to buy some more plastic tubes and such for it. The motor top is just to see if it was the right scale, it's a little big don't you think!

That would go well with Wonder Woman's invisable plane.

I have been wanting to make an RC drag truck with one of those bodies!

Yeah, I really like it. Sooo, how much you want for that tow truck?

**special-K** · 09-13-2008, 07:50 PM

That`s funny,I want yours!

**special-K** · 09-16-2008, 05:27 AM

Yeah,nobody bid so I bid the minimum just for kicks and won.I`d like to find a better example of the pickup version now.It never ends...

**special-K** · 09-18-2008, 11:58 AM

This is gonna be awesome!Uh yeah...big huffer on that thang.

Andy4639 · 09-18-2008, 12:33 PM

I plan on doing this one like my real truck. As far as painting the body. The rest I'll do as I go. I don't know if I'll use the blower or not yet!

**special-K** · 09-18-2008, 07:58 PM

I`m catching your drift,man.I`m diggin`where you`re comin`from.
I know what`s going to happen.You`ll get this thing built,ala blower.You`ll run that thing around some parking lots and start imagining your truck with a huge blower out the hood and how cool it would be.Then...

Andy4639 · 09-22-2008, 03:51 PM

A old willis model die cast I had.

olskoolchevy · 09-30-2008, 07:33 PM

I haven't read the whole thread since that would take forever, so I don't know if Outback has been mentioned. But I just bought a silver and black Jada High Roller and the flat black Von Dutch from Outback truck parts in Spring, right north of Houston, TX. He has a pretty decent selection of other diecast and stuff. And pretty good prices on parts for the real thing.

**special-K** · 10-02-2008, 05:48 AM

Good info,thanks!

**Palf70Step** · 10-10-2008, 05:30 PM

Probably old, but I picked this one up at a swap meet today. It's new to my place anyways. Another 1/24 for the collection.
