Just to hijack this thread a little, since it's a reissue and ford thread. Will any of the leaf spring bigfoots ever get a release? Any of those go for big money. Even a release of destroyer 2 would be welcome. If it does happen can the stock grill be released? Most monster truck guys would like stock version as an option.

I would like to see a new/retooled interior for the chevy/ gmc trucks also. As others have pointed out the dash is incorrect and most of the trucks had bench seats.

For those who are interested. I saw these on rocketfin.

I hope if moebius considers doing chevy/gmc they do an 85/87. Yes, you can get the grill aftermarket. But you still have the 70's interior, single tank and lack of tailgate handle with the 84 gmc. Not to mention the turn signals in the bumper.

Ah someone beat me to this. I saw that screen shot on a Facebook page. Some comments stated it was going to be a curbside model. I hope not as the engine is what makes this truck.

Where is this show? I live just down the road and have never heard of it

Thank you for your input gentlemen. I have plastilkit hood for it. looking online and the hood probably represents an 80' s on up and I figured the kit engine probably wasn't offered in later years.

I have a paystar 5000 and I would like to update it some. I have a newer hood and would like to put a more recent engine in. My online research shows most truck listing state the engine as a cummins. Could anyone tell me what would be appropriate and would I be able to fine one in resin? Thanks in advance.

Iceman collections currently has the zforce chevy grills for sale on his page.

I hope a version with the 85-87 grill and a long box are being considered.

If they are doing new parts for the sod buster can a new dash be added. That series chevy truck had 70's style dash in an 80's truck

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but has anyone used modelcarchrome? It's the only service I could find, but I'm a bit hesitant to use them the last 2 reviews for them were not good....parts not returned or money not refunded.

I think this site has what you want. Just send them a message and he can help you out

The rear quarter panel is a big difference between stock and custom. The body flare is molded into that panel, it's a separate piece for the rest.

That's good news. Can I double down as long as we are talking re-issues and ask if any of the leaf spring bigfoots could be released? They go for big money and it would be nice to have them again. I don't know what round 2's standing is with them.

Can the 454-SS and stepside be added to the list of re-issued chevy trucks

This place offers 1/24 and 1/25. The web site is across the top of the picture

As far as I can tell the usa monster truck has most of the stock kit parts included. The hood and frame are the only changes made, but yes the other 2 had shorter wheelbase that wouldn't have been altered to make a monster truck

Just a random thought, but I wish round 2 would release the chevy step side, 454, and long box again.

The front skid plate/ winch cover, (which you can bearly make out) was what made me think it was a revell/ monogram truck.

I came across this and found it interesting. This truck was done i believe by MPC, however if you look closely it looks a lot like a revell truck. The grill for starters does, but it has the axle trusses on it, duel tanks, and if you look close you can see the front skid plate/ winch cover thing near the front bumper that comes on all revell trucks. So was this a collaboration between the two companies? Down in the corner it says MPC

So this is legit?

Looks like maybe some beer trucks are coming out

This is a nice blazer. I started building a replica of my 86 the same way, even building my own grill till I came across the grills your talking about. I agree getting the metal cab and the fiberglass top to fit and match is a challenge and yours looks great.

If it isn't too much trouble could you measure and get a diameter of the hub? I just want a ballpark measurement to start with. Thanks.
