dmk Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I have the AMT Chevy 1972 fleetside and I'd like to make it a stepside. Would the bed from the Revell Chevy 1965 Stepside be correct or did GM changes the beds by then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike 51 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Wrong fenders(at the least) on the 65 bed. AMT made a short bed 72 GMC stepside. It should be very easy to find...you'll need the frame too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Way back when, MPC had a long bed stepside kit, it would be a direct replacement for that fleetside bed without having to adjust the wheelbase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmk Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 Thanks guys! Sorry for posting in the wrong forum. Not sure how that happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel-Dan Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I have a few of both Long & short stepside 67/72 Chevy/GMC kits Wish they hadn't butchered the shortbox GMC into the Cheyenne Fleetside longbox back in 95. Doubt we will see that one back out ever again. Not sure what happened to all the variants of the Longbox kit!! Maybe this era Chevy/GMC will be Moebius' next pickup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Try to find an AMT/Ertl reissue of the '72 GMC- it was a short stepside. You'd need to use the Chevy tailgate, but the GMC has the right bed and chassis (assuming you want to to a short bed stepside). It was last issued in the early '90's and was later retooled into the '72 Chevy long bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the grill of the GMCs better than the Chevys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
