Those look like resin copies of the old MPC 75? Chevy step side pickup kit grille to me...which is a good kit i have one from my old childhood build days. My home e-mail address is posted under my profile here...send me a message and Ill send you a photo of our old truck Dan. Glad I am not the only one that wants to build a car/truck of everyone the family has owned.
Dan mine was an old farm truck since 1985 or 86 it never left the farm it was on or was given a bath and it shows...it only has 43,000. miles on it but its kind of rough had a hard life till now. I found tires close to mine on a toy armored personnel carrier...close enough for me anyways. Its a 84 Chevy Silverado power everything...not much of a gear ratio 308. and a 4 speed auto. I know someone use to make a resin long bed for these and a resin Chevy grille but have not been able to find one anywhere yet for my project build...I am one of those guys that wants to build a model of ever car/truck/van the family has owned. If you can send me your home e-mail i could send you a photo of our truck...someday hope to make it look better...right now its all about the mechanical things...body parts as i can find them cheap...disability income does not help with it or model building...LOL...
That is SWEET Dan...!!! I love the crew cabs wish ours was one. I have no access to extra beds and might not be able to convert the bed into a long bed myself...great work! Our truck has 33x12.50x15 Micky Thompson Baja MTZ? tires I found some from a toy that look sort of close to them. The 84 Chevy grille would be another problem for me the kit has a GMC grille....keep up the great work its very very cool!
Very nice Dan...you both did great work on it!...nice truck too. We have a 84 Chevy 4x4 long bed 1/2 ton been wanting to build one like it just need to locate the resin long bed and Chevy grille to fit the old Fall Guy pickup kit.
Godzilla movies had a lot of models used to act as real ones in them...
I have several movie cars/trucks Id like to build models of...Mad Max first movie car black interceptor,007,Bill Cosby ambulance custom van from the movie M.J.Speed...others.
I seen a old style Shasta camping trailer once in a book that was made as a kit...love to have one of those. I use to own a 16 foot Jayco had a lot of fun with it...be great to put behind a station wagon/van/pickup build.
That is true...I am just glad there listening to us all..its good business to do so. We want certain kits re-issued and sometimes they appear for us all...with inflation everywhere a little incentive to buy goes a long way with the buyers of a product. If its wanted it will sell...if everyone has 10 in their stockpiles they might not need or want another?...all new kits of never before items are good too. Market research is golden here...if its wanted it will sell....happy they are listening to us all...hopefully they will continue to. Imagine what this year may hold?
I know it may cost them a bit more but if they re-issue a kit one good selling point would be for it to have all the original issue parts and accessories or building options...gets me to buy them and the extra parts promote buying another kit to use them with or on so the builder can use their imagination more.
