I'm looking for a 1972 Sierra Grande dicast GMC blue if possible. Has anyone seen one of these or have thae ever made one? Interested to find one if possible..

72 CustomCamper · 12-30-2008, 11:57 PM

I've never seen a dicast GMC...

Chuck

**Palf70Step** · 12-31-2008, 03:37 PM

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.

72BlckButy · 12-31-2008, 03:44 PM

Nice looking additions Bill!

**special-K** · 01-04-2009, 06:06 PM

This is the AMT 1/25 body set on a Monogram 1/24`78 SWB K/10 frame:

hgs_notes · 01-05-2009, 02:41 PM

That looks good Tim. Here is my Christmas haul.

If anyone needs the blazer/tractor set, I can get them through the local farm implement.

VA72C10 · 01-05-2009, 03:43 PM

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!

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.

Has any one seen this one yet? I just got it at the local Target.

Yep, came out last year. Pretty color ain't it?

**special-K** · 01-06-2009, 06:47 AM

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.

72 CustomCamper · 01-07-2009, 01:28 AM

Here's a few pics for ya Tim. First is a 72 GMC step converted to a Chevy.

Last is one I'm building of my 90 Blazer. I have 2.5 hours just converting the 83 GMC grill to a 90 Chevy grill.

Those aren't diecast, correct? Just guessing they're plastic models?

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.

**special-K** · 01-07-2009, 08:15 AM

Nice job on that red Stepside.The Blazer is looking good.The grille looks right.

72BlckButy · 01-07-2009, 08:31 AM

Nice work Chuck!

Yup they are plastic. I never was a fan of dicast...

Chuck

454_72_4X4 · 01-07-2009, 02:13 PM

Plastic is cool too! (And welcome here I guess)

Ya'll have forced me to drag my collection and camera out! hahaha

So here goes;

Only 3 trucks so far... LOL
And the bottom left green on is one of those "other" brands. It's a Challenger.

454_72_4X4 · 01-07-2009, 02:20 PM

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

454_72_4X4 · 01-07-2009, 02:31 PM

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....

454_72_4X4 · 01-07-2009, 02:36 PM

Last few to show the "custom" frame and the before pic..

Before the cleaning, ugh....LOL
Been on a shelf in the garage for the last few years.

wagonhoe · 01-07-2009, 04:26 PM

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?

I'll take a crack at it. Either a '78 Camaro and then you added a Monza body kit with some Dodge daytona parts and morph it into what you have here. Oh and some Pantera engine pieces.????

BTW kinda cool.
