i cant find this model on the JOHHNY LIGHTING site and i havent seen another one like it. wish i could find another one cause i would love to paint it the color i have for my truck and see exactly what its gonna look like.

71SWBChevy · 09-05-2006, 11:04 PM

That is awesome man! Have you checked E-bay, someone has to have one on there. But I have never seen one of those before.

Longhorn Man · 09-05-2006, 11:12 PM

Those used to sell for 60 bucks at tractor supply here in town. I never got one, felt it was a bit steep.

hgs_notes · 09-05-2006, 11:33 PM

I got one. I've seen pics from other members that have one also. Mines not for sale BTW.

**John Fabris** · 09-06-2006, 10:51 AM

I have the same one although mine has the "Country Kids" logo on the door...

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 09-06-2006, 02:24 PM

I found mine at Wal Mart last XMas for $19.95 It was the only one they had so i bought it and wraped it up with my name on it. My gift to myself. Besides it kinda looks like my real one

Custom 68 · 09-06-2006, 02:49 PM

yep have a blue one wanted the copper color but this is what I found...

Chevyman680063 · 09-06-2006, 03:44 PM

I saw that one on the playing mantis website that orange mentioned about a year ago and tried to find where I could buy it but no one had it. I wanted one because I have a 68 and have never seen a 1/18 scale diecast of the 68, I've seen some of the 69-72 diecast models before but never the 67-68. Now if they would just make it in a stepside version.

Here is an orange stepside I bought earlier this summer - great truck in spite the spinners

corn · 09-06-2006, 08:33 PM

Ive got the copper one but I spent a sunday afternoon lowering it & painting flat black rally stripes on the hood. The scoop is not exactly like a normal cowl scoop & the stripes help hide that...corn

Forgot...I got it at walmart for @$20 a year or so ago...

jay_shy · 09-06-2006, 09:06 PM

I called playing mantis this afternoon and was on the phone for 20min. The lady could not find the truck anywhere. She took my name and number in case she found one.

If anyone finds a place that sells them LET ME KNOW.

I have seen those, but I don't have one. I do have this though. It's a die-cast '67 bank. You have to slide the tonneau cover back to reveal the change slot. It has a metal key that you have to use to open it. It's never actually been used though.
