fordf-100 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I asked in another thread about a 1 ton dump bed in resin being produced by anyone, I needed one for a club project. In that thread Steve mentioned that there was a dump bed on ebay, however this was made of styrene and being sold by bcs-trading. I found it and it looked ok and he had 100% feedback so I put out the $34.99 with free shipping and got one using the "buy-it-now" option. I think all his items are "buy-it-now" as he runs an ebay store with the same name. Anyway it arrived yesterday and I am really happy with it! It needs some minor cleanup work and it can always be detailed more to suit your tastes. It took around a week to arrive, the tailgate works as well as having the lift mechanism underneath and working also! Everything is styrene and I am very pleased with the quality! Check out his store as he has a couple other cool things such as a couple of car haulers, a couple utility boxes, a couple towing setups, a flat bed, an English Wheel for dioramas and more. Prices are not that bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to get items while I can afford them, when the person stops offering them you are SOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldmopars Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I bought the Rescue Utility Body for a scale version of my 1:1 Chevy K30 Fire/Rescue truck. I am pleased with it. I asked him to leave the doors off of it because they do not match my 1:1 and he did, just sent them loose in a bag. This was great, I would have had to pry them off and fix the damage caused, but he did as I asked and that saves me time. Do know that his stuff is cut out on some kind of CNC device and it leaves a bit of a rough edge, so not ready to paint out of the box, will need some love to make it show worthy. With that said, I would have spent over $28 is stock and time to get what I got in the box. So, overall very pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on the cost I would have more than $35 in material for the dump bed after several screw ups!! Plus time, I know that I enjoy spending time modeling but when it would take me as long as it would to produce a dump bed and then I would give up and then re-visit a year later, its well worth the money!!!!
