Do they still make that one in the picture? All I could find was this bed only one. https://madmodeling.com/Item/chevylongbed

This must be some kind of regional thing. My Ollies (right up the street from me) has never had anything even remotely automotive model kit wise. I saw a couple of battle ships a while back. I still check it from time to time as it's in the same strip mall as my local post office and the dollar store.

Like that blue. ?

You're right. I forgot about those. However, the front rear, leaf springs, and wheels/tires are needed to make it a 4x4. Have to go back and look at my chrome tree. I think I remember a shorter, transfer case shift leaver on it.

I have that kit, and the only 4x4 part it has is the transfer case. I traded an old AMT Chevy van kit for a glue bomb and got the rest of the suspension to build a 4x4 power wagon out of the parts. This old kit has some interesting parts with it, including the 1.25 Suzuki TM 400 that (interesting enough) was trashed by the critics of the time as one of the worst off road motorcycles of all time. An updated 4x4 kit would sell well about now. Through in some new Power Wagon decals and they would line up to buy the kit.

Nice! Very clean work.

Cool to see all those vintage photos before that Chip Foose/fast and furious nonsense poisoned our car culture. ?

Mines always worse. 14 Projects going at once. Waiting on parts for some, others just stalled. Mayhem! ?

You used to get that right off the shelf at most auto parts stores. Probably not anymore with the demise of Pontiac.

It's been a long time since we've seen an MPC 4X4 version of the 70s Dodge pickup. I can remember building this version with the bizarre 3/4 cap back when I was a kid. Now these things are going for crazy money even as glue bomb's.

Thanks Scott. My PayPal is ready.

I vaguely remember someone talking about possibly duplicating this hood in 3D resin for the 1/24 GM trucks some time back. Anything ever happen on this front?

Attn: Revell. Please find and reissue this kit with just the trailer and bikes and gear. Or you could mix it up with some old truck molds to tow the trailer. Thank you.

Nice work Greg! ?

Before my time but I was aware of him. R.I.P.

Some pieces like the handlebars and forks are on both chrome and non-chrome trees.

I think it's about time to re-issue this one. Just look at the prices these are bringing in. Vintage Monogram GMC Jimmy Pickup Truck 4x4 1979 Model Kit 2248 ( SEALED ) | eBay

I keep checking the site, but I can't find the stinger exhaust or the winch bumpers.

Keep looking some of my motorcycle parts were on trees that you wouldn't think they would be on.

Clearly, ot's time for MPC (or whoever ones them now) to re-issue an Obit Orange '70 with the correct pink/blue/orange decals.
