There is nothing like the sound of a dads truck when they hotrod it. For me it was my dad's 1960 Chevy Apache stepside! 283 with true duals, an rv cam, and glass packs. I always knew when my dad was coming home from work. Unforgettable sound, and awesome memories. I even drove that truck to high school on my last day. I wish he never sold it.

I believe that one was made for Napa Auto Parts. I had all 3 57s at one point. Napa used to use crown premiums for there promotional diecast.

Acme is a very detailed brand! they usually run just above 100.00! A good place to shop is either diecastmodelswholesale.com, or supercar1.com! Ebay is kind of ok depending on the brand and who is selling them. Maisto is a great starter brand and they can usually be found for cheap at costco.

When i worked at napa, I would by the cp cars! I had all three 57s at one point! The hard top was my favorite of all.

I have a question. Do any of you know if the motormax 55 stepside bed will line up with the 66 Chevy c10? Im thinking about ordering both, so i can make the 66 a stepside.

I would copy the silverados. Much more accurate in my opinion.

That is looking awesome! Loving the mean look with the wide body.

I remember building one of those when i was like 14!

If they made the 93 to 97 bluebird, then i could make a replica of my first car.

Wait which one is the 1:1
j/k! Looks very much like the real one! I love when people do replicas of their 1:1 vehicles.

If it were painted grabber blue, It would have matched my uncles eliminator clone!

That is sweet!

If you have a brookfield chevy van or two, they can be cut down for the cab. Being the cab of the topkick is the same sheet metal as the full size chevy vans from 96 to when ever.

I have the yellow one! I love it. I added a set of corvette rallies to it for a street rod look.

I love the GMCs of that era. Especially the 60-61! Your truck looks fantastic. Are you going to modify the dash to the correct gmc dash?

Well, sort of makes you think of a Y-block because of the bolts in the valve covers and some of years and divisions used yellow paint. Also, Fords usually have a distributor in the front, but not the Y-block. Still, looks good though.
I remember watching a snipit of Jay Leno's Garage. They had one on the show, and they confirmed that it was a ford y block.

That early ford v8 looks good in there!

Id like to get my hands on the plain red with the black vinyl top! It closely represents my youngest sisters dads 69 malibu! I think shed love to have it on her shelf.

The jada or welly tahoe would be good for supplying the interior!

There may have been kits probably, but I think most of the sheet metal just bolted on, being they are both on the gmt800 platform.
