leafsprings Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) I'm still waiting for a quality 1/25 scale mid 70's longbed square door kit with a real chassis ( something AMT should have gave us in the 70's) Edited February 18, 2023 by leafsprings 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 MAD ( Morgan Auto Detail) offers a really nice resin 78 Scottdale long bed pickup trans kit. The MPC 84 GMC Deserter kit is the donor chassis, just need to lengthen the frame a bit for it to work.

You can PM him here, as that is what I did. I got one right after Christmas so I would say yes, he still offers them. What I didn't show was he also includes the correct hood, chrome front bumper and grille and a bench seat. ( Hey Round2, you hear that? A bench seat!) The kit was either $70 or $75 plus shipping.

Thanks Mike. I was wondering about that grill and the bench seat sounds good also. Who do I contact to PM him here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
