Die cast model truck
I was hoping to buy a die cast model of my 1979 short box and cannot find anything. I was even looking for a plastic model and all I can find is a 4x4 model kit.
Does anyone know if or where I can find anything? Patrick |

Re: Die cast model truck
I built this one for a copy of my truck, mine is a long bed so I had to make the bed longer.
http://www.revell.com/model-kits/tru...l#.Vufszl1f2Uk  They also have one with a wrecker bed on it. http://www.revell.com/model-kits/tru...l#.VuftWl1f2Uk

Re: Die cast model truck
Thanks for the reply everyone. I found the revell kit and if I can't find anything else, I will use it. The blazer is neat though.

Re: Die cast model truck
And I assume everyone noticed the mirror on the red model is upside down?
Interesting take on mirror installations |
