A good friend of mine bought and had it sent from resin model ranch. it's mocked up at this time as It still needs parts from an AMT '64 Olds to complete it.

I would actually rather see a truck that Coca Cola actually used such as The International S-Series trucks. Seen those everywhere in the 1980's and 90's

Made the U-Haul decals myself. I used part of the white stripe decals that came in the Transtar 4070 a kit. Cut and shaped to size then ultra fine sharpie markers to do the logo & lettering...

Revell '65 chevy stepside paired with the U-Haul trailer from the '63 Nova wagon reissue..

I bought the kit as a christmas gift for myself. This is the second Nova wagon I've done in this color combo, as first one was given to a Nephew of mine. The U-Haul trailer is corrected to look more like an actual U-Haul trailer from that time period. Still have to find period correct U-Haul decals for the trailer. Photo's were taken inside due to being windy and cold..

I bought the trailer in Sylvania in October 2021, and built it The Transtar 4070 a was a Christmas gift that was finished on New Years day 2022. When I was growing up the north American HQ Offices/trucks & trailers were on the east side of Meyer road. This was directly across the road from the scout factory. The Truck factory had several entry gates off of Meyer road as well, One was where we would drop of my dad sometimes. These two are part of the History of Ft. Wayne Indiana in the early 1970's... Sorry couldn't take photo's outside due to weather conditions of overcast skies and rain...

Some apache pickups had a gray color interior.

Wonder if he'd be interested in trades for one or so.....

What the??? I think this would have been a better choice ( the Ex Van Lines ) Nascar/Indy car trasporter....

Tom Ogle died in 1981 , The internet started way after his untimely death. He did have his invention patteneted! Only part of his invention diograms have been found since then. sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

Revell 92 Chevy Caprice, 94 Impala, and Monogram's s-10 pickup kit's have them as well.

Tom Ogle did make his Ford Galaxie go 100 Miles on a gallon of gas. His Story is on the internet. as is his death, But who would want to kill a guy who mad a car more efficant????

Nice , but the hood air cleaner bars on the side of the hood should be vertical .

Actually Krylon short cut's yellow over the molded in yellow, decal's, Molotowed the trim and then clear coat with Krylon short cuts clear.

Used the new reissue AMT kit (molded in yellow) to produce the final year of the Scout II production. The head light's and their backing are from a Monogram S-10 Chevy pickup kit.

I bought an original ertl Molded in Yellow scout II kit from a seller on ebay. I built it as the box art show's on both the Ertl kit box, and The Amt reissue. Used the new stripe's decals from the amt kit on the Ertl copy.

Bought at Sylvania Ohio toy show . Took apart, and painted. I left the roof as it was not because I couldn't fix it , but to be a reminder of they way It was when I bought it. Pictures are as it is now, and what it was like when I brought it home.

The '60 Apache came apart really easy. Paint is Krylon short cuts Clover green.

Lee FYI you'll need to relocate the rear cab mount forward on the frame, being that you used the 4300's frame.

Same room (indoor soccer field) Not sure how many vendors were there But I'd say close to 28+ Lots of old promo's were there.

Thankfully yes it does! They are a little messed up But I still plan on using them on it when I build the Scout II . Not a bad deal for $20.00!

My haul from the OLD Toyland show in Sylvania Ohio.

Got back home just before noon from Sylvania. I got some real good deal's on some vintage kit's and promo's. It was nice talking to Greg Smith while I was there, and I bought a Transtar 4300 Kit from him. I also bought a AMT American Van lines Trailer kit from his good buddy that was there. I was able to find a couple of vintage built Chevy pickups . A SMP '60 Apache that came with the trailer, and a non painted built '68 Chevy pickup. Two Chevrolet promo's '77 Chevette (in silver) and a '80 Monte Carlo. Found a Ertl IH scout II off road which is complete, and not built. a Factory sealed '72 GMC step side pickup, along with a resin '79 Malibu body, hood ect. form another seller.

Seeing how the MPC '67 Impala became the '68 Impala kit. The '69 Impala's are a completely different body shape that includes the fenders, rear qt's and the roof design. I know the '69 became the 70 Impala kit's But If they used the '68 molds to make the '69 that would have been a major reworking of a mold wouldn't it?? I mean sure molds such as the '73 Caprice went on to be the '74-76 Caprice kit's which is easy to see why as the body changes were the front, rear roof ,and hood, and the basic body , doors, rear qt's, trunk deck, and front fenders remained much the same.

Are you 100% sure that the Ventura became the 79 Nova??? MPC Issue a New 1977 Nova in 1976 along with the new 1977 Ventura also in 1976! Odd that both kits were released the same time in the same year. (rear plate on the Ventura reads 1977!
