berencam · 06-10-2008, 12:08 AM

the floor mats ,tires,wheel , dash pad,and seat are soft rubber. the antenna is a steel up and down mast, the wheels rotate and steer with the wheel in the cab. i have to find the black long box and a blue short box from dub city. ( dam the relocation department in this house.)

caminokid · 06-10-2008, 04:01 AM

I want one! That is really nice! Where can I get one?

GREASEMONKEY72 · 06-10-2008, 04:56 AM

that is freakin awesome, beautiful truck to, even has a hitch

**special-K** · 06-10-2008, 06:21 AM

Nice!That`s the nicest one they`ve done,IMO.It`s odd though.I`ve never seen a blue truck with a saddle or sandlewood interior,which is where that interior falls between.

santana474 · 06-10-2008, 07:03 AM

Awesome detail on that thing!! I agree with caminokid, where can I get one!!
The underhood detail is great. Love the working hood hinges and springs. Wires under hood and everything.

70cstjr · 06-10-2008, 07:20 AM

highway 61s are awsome my dad is to finish up with his colllection of 67-72 highway 61's btw i did find the 72 black we have been searching for. I found it on a hobby website from france..emailed them they had one left. 124USD shipped was a decent deal. Dad if your reading this you better take care of that

semperfidoordie · 06-10-2008, 07:23 AM

Wow, never seen a model with carpet!

72BlckButy · 06-10-2008, 08:51 PM

thats the one my dad and i have been looking for, for months..its the last one we need and its impossible to find

72BlckButy · 06-11-2008, 12:04 AM

I think that the site I purchased mine from no longer carries them either. I've been keeping my eye open for them, but they are pretty scarce.

LOW DOUGH · 06-11-2008, 12:12 AM

I would like to have that one. Very nice

463 · 06-14-2008, 01:50 PM
