Fabrux Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Can anyone that has this kit confirm or deny if the tailgate has GMC engraved on it or if its blank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edsel-Dan Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 MPC. I don't have one, but have the 4x4 Short box 84 that shares chassis & cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Anderson Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Can anyone that has this kit confirm or deny if the tailgate has GMC engraved on it or if its blank? the GMC badging is, IIRC, a separate panel to mount on the tailgate, for the higher trim level.

Fabrux Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) The latest AMT release and the older MPC Fall Guy release both have the full-width bed with a separate trim piece for the emblem. The Hardcastle & McCormick version has the stepside bed shared with the MPC annual Chevy pickup kits. The box art shows a GMC emblem on the tailgate but I'm not sure if it's a decal or if it's engraved. And, of course, the box and tailgate is the only part of the kit that our beloved pj-toys doesn't have for sale.

Fabrux Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 I guess it pays to dig through eBay's completed listings! I managed to find an auction for one of these kits that has been opened (which is seemingly the exception rather than the rule). The tailgate is engraved AND there is a decal. And to top it all off, it has a bench seat! And tinted windows! I'm going to be keeping my eye out for one of these... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
