I like it! Great choice of color too!

Good call Mike. These are close enough for me. Thank you! https://scenesunltd.com/products/wagon-wheels-6-lug-s31

Yep, those won't work with no lug nuts. I didn't even notice that. The kit is the 1/24 scale AMT 1980 Ramcharger kit Casey. I hope you might have some suggestions.

You might want to check out Fireball Modelworks. He has a lot of wheels and tires and is reliable. I didn't find what I was looking for.

Thanks, J.C. I'll look around some more to see if I can find something a little cheaper than the Ford.

Great looking model, Scott. I think I found them. I was looking on the bay and ran across a set in parts. They are off of the AMT '78 Firestone Ford 4x4. https://www.hobbylinc.com/amt-78-ford-pickup-1-25-plastic-model-truck-kit-858 It's not heresy to put Ford rims on a Dodge is it? lol

Yep, that's what the kit wheels look like. Thanks, Tom.

Tom, great job of detailing on the chasis. The rims in the kit are different from the white ones in the bottom pic, correct?

After checking for the Fire Fighter truck, the cheapest kit I could find was $125 which is out of the budget and I couldn't locate a fleetside bed reasonably priced. So I am going to go in a different direction. I'm going to make a Ramcharger Power Wagon instead. I found some pics of a '79. I'm not crazy about the rims on this or in the Ramcharger kit that I can see. Where can I find a set of wheels and tires like these in the bottom picture? Thanks for any help with this!

This is my strategy. I decide what I'm willing to pay and wait until about 10 seconds to go make my move. I win way more than I lose. I learned a long time ago if I bid early in an auction, I very rarely win it.

I would build any of the OPs and include this one as well.

There is a die-cast model of the 1957. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Eastwood-Automobilia-1-25th-scale-1957-Dodge-D100-Sweptside-pickup-limited/173578614999?hash=item286a1778d7:g:umoAAOSwgd1beaZ3

Of all the ones here, this one I might try to build one day. My wife says she would drive it. She really liked it. I do too.

You didn't offend me. I am enjoying the thread because I've never really thought about looking up mashups like these. It opens up the imagination which is never a bad thing(my wife says i ain't right anyway), even if I wouldn't even consider trying to replicate. If some are offended, so be it.

Thanks Peter
