The MPC/AMT GM pickups probably won't be reissued again

I would be willing to bet the '84 GMC will be reissued in the next five years given Round2's penchant for reissuing kits which RC2 already reissued.

Art, you make mention of the Camper Special possibly having a longer bed. This was only on the '68-'72 3/4 and 1 ton Longhorn trucks, which all used the 2wd 1 ton frame. Camper Specials were not necessarily Longhorns, many used the standard 8' bed.
The '73-'87 Camper Special sed the same 8' box as the regular pickups, with many of the 1 ton versions also being duallie trucks.

Bill, I was just covering my bases, as I didn't have time to go digging around, to determine if there were longer pickup boxes for this proposed project or not. Thanks for clearing that up.

If longbeds where offered at a reasonable price I would probably buy a couple, especially if they where in 1/24, although 1/25 is easy enough to make fit and I've got a couple 1/25 gmcs. I guess that depends on if I finish making one for myself first (I'm getting to it very slowly).

I would be interested in long fleetside beds for the 60 / 66 Chevy pickups if nicely cast.

[misternemo]

any chance we will be seeing these beds anytime soon?

Yes, I would like to have a long bed for 73-77 GM pickups. Gary B.

I am interested in two of these long beds when they are produced.
