Steve...AWESOME score on the GMC kit...! I built one as a kid loved it....very cool box art as well.

A wealth of information here gents....thanks! I found out the hard way a long time ago to just be safe and use the original type screws if one needs to use some like me...I like trying to keep them as original as possible when restoring them when it comes to old models or promos. I remember seeing those odd Johan metal pin type ones with no screw head too...they were interesting to have to mess with. I found most original style chassis screws are close enough to work on most that had them whatever the brand of promo or kit it was. Second thing is old plastic gets brittle...I have actually coated the mounting posts with 2 part epoxy glue to help make them stronger before just have to remember to let it set up all the way first before mounting the chassis. The old screw chassis ones and promos are my favorites.

Love it..! I am a wagon nut myself...I have a small wagon collection started...LOL..

Very cool project....I like the older rigs.

I have the same problem with mine....they always seem to be missing and everything else I have tried just breaks the mounting posts or.? I could use any originals anyone could spare for my restoration projects.

Very nice...! Me I couldn't have used the KW kit for the engine...Id have to build her...LOL...

Another awesome build Kerry buddy....sweet truck..!

Welcome Dennis..! been building all my life too like many of us here have.

Welcome Frank..! My brother is a Dodge and GM guy...he owns a 83 Dodge Rampage...been looking for used front fender vent scoops for it from a 2+2 one for it. His son owns a 1999 Chrysler LHS I found him for 200.oo that is nice but needed some work. My family owned many Mopars over the years been wanting to build replicas of them and others for the memories. Good to have you here with us all.

All are awesome Dan...love it..!

Awesome work...!

Welcome Michael...!

Hang in there Harry....many of us have had to go through things that are life changing as well...it takes time and everything that happens does for a reason...many times it makes us stronger or better people in one way or another. After my accident I had to learn how to do most things all over again as I could....our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Absolutely love the build its awesome..! very sorry to hear about your dogs...been there too.

Very nice..! I like it. I like 4doors and wagons anyway but this is cool..!

I remember that Ken buddy...Those were the days of great kits in my opinion. 3 in 1s optional building versions....bonus kits of mini bikes,motorcycles,go carts,boats,shop equipment,trailers,camper tops,scale figures..cool stuff. The extra parts,etc. promotes one buying another kit to use them with as well. Even my wife likes the little accessories herself....she has some in her shadow box she thought was neat. Nice thing about those kits and all the extras is it gives one the chance to use their imagination with them on a build or two.

Oh VERY NICE....!

Welcome Fred..!

Yuri.....Stunning work....!

Very nice work....wow..!
