jaydar Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I am more interested in stock than custom but either is ok. 1/25 preferred. Thanks, joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I know others will tell you about smaller scales, but Minicraft has a pretty nice 1/16 kit.http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=1%2F16&_sop=10&_osacat=2580&_from=R10&_pcats=1188%2C220&_armrs=1&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.X1%2F16+MODEL+A+PICKUP&_nkw=1%2F16+MODEL+A+PICKUP&_sacat=2580 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshaver Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Joe, in 1-25th scale , the A M T actually former M P C 1929 Ford Model A Roadster P U is hard to beat . The Revell 1930 Roadster cab/ Enclosed cab has a way more delicate suspension system. I did one as a light duty wrecker by combining pieces from A M T's 1929 roadster with the revel kit to gain a stocker . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilrathy10 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Man, you know Revell and AMT have a few trucks still in production you could choose from and some earlier issues you could grab on ebay....Just look around.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 The Revell '29 pickup is the finest Model A pickup that can be bought in 1/25 scale. Unfortunately, a proper '30-'31 cab pickup has not been done in 1/25. It's out again under in the "Car Show" series in a Monogram box: It has a delicate suspension system because it is ACCURATE and true to scale. You must remember that Model A pickups were manufactured on the passenger car chassis. Only Model AA trucks (1-1/2 ton and 2-1/2 ton) were any beefier than the passenger cars, and they had totally different frames, suspensions, wheels, tires, axles, brakes, and transmissions. The engine, cab, hood, radiator (but not radiator shell), headlamps, headlight bar, and front fenders were the only components common/interchangeable between the Model A passenger cars/pickups and the Model AA trucks.
