1/25 First Gear 1938 International pickup
junkyardjeff replied to jeffs396's topic in Diecast Corner
I need to get me one. -
Over the last few years I have been getting the kingsized versions since I never got any when I was a kid, for unknown reasons I got some Corgi and Dinky cars for my birthday and christmas but never got any of the larger matchboxes.

The elusive GMC B-7000
junkyardjeff replied to landman's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I kick myself for not buying one I seen in a junkyard many years ago,it was complete and in good shape but sat for many years and was the first time I ever seen or heard about the V12. -

Looks great and does it have a V12 powering it. -
I am building a 40 Ford sedan to look like a gas station in the 50s made it into a shop truck so where can one get some gas station decals.

I think its just paint on the oil pan. -
What mopar kits came with a slant six
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I think its going to stay a mystery on where it came from,I had this motor since the mid 70s so it was from a old kit so most likely the Deora which I do not remember building so I must have gotten it from a friend. -
The ones that survived me playing with them are not even close to being in mint condition and starting to restore them and add more detail,once I got a computer and found ebay I started buying real nice ones and started buying the older gray wheels that I never had.
-
I only paid 10 dollars for the one I have so it looks like I done well,it is missing one of the doors on the trailer but otherwise in really nice shape.

I have enough junk parts to build a home made p/u out of a 40 Ford 2 door sedan,I got a nice 1/25 scale home made flatbed that was made out of wood that I will use and right now its a pile of parts and a idea. I want to make it look like something a farmer would have made out of a old car years ago.

Kenworth rebuild
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Making some progress on it,I about have the frame done and everything is going to get painted one color like a old fleet truck. since I shortened the frame I rearranged the gas tank on one side and found a shorter battery box. -
Dodge truck
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Would love to have one of those longbed 4x4s from the mid 70s again but they go for way too much money,I still have one of the dirt bikes that came with them and parts of another. Now to find a set of steel rims and small hubcaps. -
I picked it up today at a thrift type store and since it was the oldest toy I grabbed it,its about the same size or slightly larger as the kingsize Matchbox and Corgis. Its made by a company I never heard of,the Winross company of Rochester NY.

What mopar kits came with a slant six
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I was also told that the little red wagon had one for the stock version and I do remember building the IMC version in the early 70s that could also be built as a phone company truck so I think this mystery is solved. Its hard to remember all the kits built over the last 45 years. -
What mopar kits came with a slant six
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
That might have been the one it came from and here it is,I found it in the 4x4 Dodge van I made with a 4x4 Chevy chassis that will get put back as a 2wd when I find a chassis. -
This is a bunch or spare parts that I am going to put togather,I am really wanting to find a 2wd chassis but if one can not be found I will use the chassis from the Warlock that I converted to 2wd and use the slant six I had for over 40 years. If I can find the 2wd chassis I am going to make it as a bare bones truck.
