72 C10 model
So, after searching high and low, I finally got my hands on this 72 Fleetside model. My initial plan was to get a model and put it together to match my truck, just like I did many times when I was a kid. Then when I realized how few there are available to buy in this country (unless I just don't know where to look), started wondering if I should just leave it in the sealed box? They aren't cheap. What would you do?

Re: 72 C10 model
What's funny is, I actually would keep my truck in a bubble as long as I could let her out once in a while! She is a garage queen and I am okay with that. 46 years of rain, snow and crap... she has had enough!

Re: 72 C10 model
Build it! These model kits were mass produced, just like the real thing.

I built that same model over 10 years ago and still have it... If I saved the $20 model I guess I could have sold it for $80 today on Ebay. Im glad I built it.
