Pretty cool models! I build one long time ago. Was a Ford Model A, that came with decals for make a taxi too.

Cool project! I remember seen one made into a tow truck.

Perfect color combo! Can't wait to see more progress.

Probably the best GMC model truck I ever seen! Great job!

Looks a good start!

For sure! I remember early 2000, my uncle wanted to open one of his bottle of Picolit, from 1970. We left it decanter for how long we needed, but after the wine was still no good...

There is not too much info out there about the truck. The license plate on some auction photos seems to be covered by a Georgia license palte from the 80's. There are few picture of the truck with Jimmy carter on the driver seat. THe red color on the door is faded out. THe only picture of Billy driving a vehicle I saw, he was driving a Blazer. Good info! Make sense to have one bed for all. I read in different places that Billy Beer was not the best. I have two cans of it, I will not drink it for sure!

I don't know why they they make this fender, or if they use it from a different kit. I know, but I would need to buy another kit just for the bed/fenders. The picture you posted shows also that the kit is missing the hole on the fenders for the gas cap. I know about the front license plate. I think they used during Jimmy Carter campaign. There are also different one made with Peanuts. I'm contemplating to use it or not, for the reason you mention. I will cross that bridge when I'm there... Maybe they restore it and repalce some parts. Check this picture, here on the front fenders there is a decals that say Georgia B.C.

Nice work done. My neighbor had one, in blue color. Sweet little truck!

I know there is only one, and is on the front part of the rear fender. I had a '74 Stepside. But the kit has two ow them. One molded on the fender on hte back side. And a separate piece that goes between the fender and the cab. Look a the instructions.

Little work on the rear fenders. The kit fender has a step on the rear that does not exist on the real model. So I cut it off. Another thing I did not liked, was the fender flare, sticking out too much. Also the wheel opening is to tall. I rebuild it in a lower position, and re did the flare. In a second moment I will add the hole for the gas cap.

Very happy that you like it! Since you had 1/1 Fords! I used for reference a Ranchero in a junk yard, sad to see it there. Because over all, it has a beautiful body shape. Thanks Claude!

The cab is metal, from a diecast truck. I believe is the same brand your is. I don't remember where I bought it.

I was thinking to build a stock Willys pickup, but I went in a different way. I saw a video online of a guy that put a Deutz motor on his Willys, and I build this. Bed, chassis and motor are scratchbuilt.

Thank you Carl!

Yes, they were pretty common. Auto part store had them too.

Nice work on the bed! Few years ago I build one with a short bed.

Ok! I though I saw also one in red. Good to know. Pretty much the same headlight the CJ's Jeep had.

Thank you Dominik! Thank you Chris! Nice to see you Andre! Thanks!

That's why on the side it says: new & used tires.

Thank you David! I don't remember if somebody gave to me or something that I collected over the years. One memmber of the club I belong gave me different mesh material, and few were from microwave. THanks!

Thank you Larry! Few days ago I received a license plate from North Carolina to add to my collection! Thank you Roger! Thank you Jim!

Slowly slowly, I did some more progress on this build. Dashboard painted Added Steering whells and CB radio

Thank you JC! Thank you Ray! Thank you Bob! Thank you Tom! Unfortunatley not! LOL! Thanks! Thank you Bruce! THank you Jim!

Thank you! Very true! Thanks Claude!
