Plastic Models - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone know where I can find a plastic model of a 69-72 Chevy? I have tried looking online with no luck so far.

Thanks,
Tommy

Looking for a long bed or short bed, step or fleetside?

Fine69 had some for sale awhile back. He's got quite a few. Don't know if he wants to sell them seperately or all together? Might try and contact him.

I have a '72 long fleet by AMT. Unassembled, but I did take the plastic off and separated a few parts from the trees. (Kids) It's all there, though. $10 plus shipping?

Mr Goodpliers If you still have it I will take it.

Looking for long or short fleet. Don't know if MrGoodpliers is still gonna have one to sell me, but even if he does, I would definitely enjoy more than one.

Thanks everyone.

Ertl/AMT makes the '72 C10 mentioned above. I built one when i was like 13. It isn't a very detailed model...only like 74 pieces or something like that. Great for a beginner though.

Ertl/AMT also used to make a '72 GMC shortbed stepside model, but it has been discontinued. I remeber building one when i was like 8, and a few years ago i bought one from Chevy Duty. It is also not a very detailed model....the tooling was proably made back in the '70's or something.

When i was 13-14 i built model cars 24/7 and got pretty good too. It is mainly what got me into the muscle car thing, and partly these trucks too

However, when i tried to build the '72 GMC i discovered to my dismay that i was no where near as good as i was when i was in middle school, and it came out looking like crap

Oh well....i finially graduated to the real thing

Ebay has a few right now and a blazer also but it's diecast ...

bluec10 · 01-15-2004, 07:24 PM

If you're trying to find a '72 you won't have any problem. The other year are not represented in model kits - no '68 for example and no I'm not bitter. I wish the model companies would read sites like this board to get in touch with "the people".

WE NEED A '68 CHEVY TRUCK MODEL KIT! Hey - why not package a Chevy/GMC kit with different front ends and mouldings - that would make everyone happy.

I never thought of that. It would be inexpensive for them and lure more buyers. I just figured these trucks were so popular that I could find a model at Wal-Mart or one of the model makers' websites. But nope.

Anyway, I sure am glad this board is here. What I really want though is a real truck.

lukecp · 01-16-2004, 02:09 AM

Wow...nice work!

Are those all based off the two AMT model kits out there or something else!

Makes me want to get back into the hobby!

72 CustomCamper · 01-16-2004, 02:42 AM

Yeah the one with the camper is the amt 72, the 3 blazers are all the boondocker blazer and the last is the gmc stepside kit...

bluec10 · 01-16-2004, 02:15 PM

Very nice work on the models.

The camper pulls on my heart strings - when I was a kid my parents had a camper on the '68 that I'm building.

Would you believe that the '68 had a 250 L6 and still grunted up hills with that big camper on its back?

72 CustomCamper · 01-16-2004, 03:10 PM

Thanks for the complaments. My folks had a camper like that one too. We had it on the back of a 69 C/10...
