Re: Die-cast 67-72
I added a couple to my colletcion the other day. They were on sale at Harbor Freight ($11 ea). Only 1 GM, but I liked the looks of them and the two are odd, at least to me, so I had to have them.
1952 Chevy 1938 Studebaker 1957 Dodge Fargo They are all 1/24 and made by Liberty Classics.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
Quick question...on the Jada Dub city trucks, how do I go about switching wheels? I want to put the TT looking rims from a red one I have onto a blue one that has lowrider wire wheels right now. Thanks in advance!

Re: Die-cast 67-72
That low rider one is not a jada and has a different scale and wheel base. One guy here made the switch using a different 4x4 model. I think he said it was a ford explorer and he did a little cutting to make it fit, and the chassis was held with just one screw. For the jada chassis switch, just unscrew the screws and switch the chassis. Simple as can be.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
I found one of those w/o the flames.That`s the first error one I`ve ever had.It`s a good error,too.Just doesn`t have flames.
Check through all the pages if you haven`t.That`s what this is all about.All the various replicas.

I have one I need to post a pic of to see if anybody can guess what it is, (or started out as). It's the only one I have left out of about 50 I assembled as a kid. I like the blazer in the background. (Camo'd one.) Good work on the others too.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
Here's some of my "other" interests;
![]() ![]() The Black/red 4 wheeler, (Raptor), I customized to look like a drag quad. It started out just like the black and white one on the top shelf in the first pic. My "sand paddle" tires leave a little to be desired, but it was the closest I could find. LOL ![]()

And the last one. (plastic like your's chuck! LOL)
This was my pride and joy about 25 years ago when I built it. It's lookin a little worse for wear these days... Hahaha I cleaned it up as best as I dared. Figured it might fall apart if I got to vigorous with it. Care to take a guess what this started life as? LOL ![]() ![]() Lost the left front tire/wheel somewhere through the years.... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Die-cast 67-72
It sure is. I wish I could find a 67-72 Suburban as well. Anybody come across one in their wanderings? Does anyone make a plastic/diecast model of the 67-72 Suburbans?
