It's An AMC of the Truck world??? Those front fenders/headlight's Look like they were taken from a International Transtar 4200- 4300 series of trucks.

Willard Scott Today show Weather personality , and The First Ronald McDonald has died at the age of 87. He was the Today show weather man/100th birthday announcer as well.

Got 3 AMT display cases ($6.74 each) and the 63 Nova wagon $19.97 at our wal mart in town here.

Van Wert Ohio Wal- mart must have gotten the, yesterday sometime. I managed to get three display cases, and the '63 Nova wagon. some empty spot's on the display already!

Found a Jada Just Trucks 1980 Chevy Blazer w/ tire rack along with extra wheels/tires, axles, and a screw driver. I detailed it, but I still need to detail the steering wheel to interior color. It's very close to 1/24 scale! overall length is the same as Revell '76 Chevy Step side, and just a hair wider than the revell but really close otherwise!

Ed Asner passed away at the age of 91.

Maybe just maybe it could be either the Transtar 4270 (4200) or lucky enough one of the International S-Series kit's 2575, 2674, or 2674 Dump truck....

Chevrolet made these in 2018 so they are factory done, and not after market. My late Aunt had a 1978 Chevy Big 10 that was blue with the white.

real autocar logging truck.

One possibility ???

Casey: these are a few of the choices of stripe design's used. Note ertl made the red feather decal for the Scout II Off road kit.

My late Father Worked at the Harvester Factory in Ft. Wayne Indiana. He started with them in January 1962, and I was born in 1967. From the very early 1970's till the last Scout's rolled out of that plant I grew up seeing them sitting out side of the factory ready for shipment. Most of the time dad would drive himself or ride with a friend to work, But lucky for us kids sometimes our Mother would take him to work. That was a real treat for me as I have always been a car loving person. My dad would be dropped off at the Meyer Rd gate of the truck Factory , and so this ran along the side of the Scout Factory where the Scout's rolled out of the Factory. Meyer rd and New Haven Ave were home to quite a few companies back then . North American Van lines head Qt;s was on the corner East of the scout plant. Going west on New Haven Ave we would pass the front of the Scout plant . Phelps dodge was the next factory west of the Scout plant. Magnavox had a factory off the street that The Harvester tower is. Anyway I remember getting to see all those scouts sitting there from 1971 till the last ones where shipped in 1980. And passing the former plant till Harvester left Ft. Wayne in 1983.

Yes that is but one of the stripes options , there were more choices in 1:1 Scout II's stripes. As a foot note I grew up seeing factory fresh Scout's on a regular basis . My dad worked at the Ft.Wayne Harvester plant. My mothers younger brother worked for a few years in the scout Factory, but went to the truck plant to which he retired from Navistar in the mid 1990's. The gate that my dad would sometimes be dropped off at was off Meyer road which runs past the Scout factory on the side were the scout's came out and sat waiting for shipping. As for round 2 changing the grill to 78-80, I think it would be more likely that a resin caster would choose to do that before round 2.

While I'm glad to see the Scout II has been reissued I feel that compared to the expanded decal sheet's in the Scout (Super Scout) Off road, and the just issued Transtar 4070 a' that round two dropped the ball on this issues decals. I'm happy that they added the dash gauge's, but I can not figure why they would only have 1 Scout II Decal, one IH symbol, and one red s square. Why could the have not added the side marker light decals, Tail light decals, Parking lights decals, along two other stripe designs that IH used on the real Scout II's

Krylon short cut comes in smaller cans than the regular Krylon does. They are the same size as Testor's spray cans. Funny how certain paints will work for one person but not another isn't it.

Thank you. I rather use Krylon short cut's paints, and even though they don't have as many colors that Testor's has Krylon seems to be better quality wise. Krylon short cuts also seems to play well with most other paints. Such as Dupli color, and Testor's . Not to mention it's cheaper than a can of Testor's spray paint's , and I have not had a bad can from Krylon like I have had from Testors!

Thanks! Makes me wish I would have shortened the frame on the Orange w/white, and the White w/blue copies. I firmly think that the truck looks better with the fame shortened. In all I have three of the Original Ertl issued 4070 A's , and Four of the AMT issued 4070 a's ..

I want to thank all those who took the time to post a kind comment. Thanks again!

According to Hot Wheel's collectors news (1997) the 1/24 was around $15.00

I got this '51 Chevy kit from a good friend who bought it for me off ebay so I could use the inline 6 in a Revell '54 Chevy sedan kit I picked up a few weeks ago. I am building the '54 into a Factory stock copy for my 30 years of Chevrolet collection.. I included two photo's of the '54 that I'm converting back to stock as well

The Jaguar and the '57 Chevy are franklin mint cars. Noticed the mint tag still attached the the '57 Chevy.

Not to change the subject, But has any of you other "guy's" noticed how the Toy area has shrunk Mainly in Boy's toy's isle?? Plenty of area for doll's and other girl toy's. Even the die Cast selection are is becoming smaller in Our wal mart. As for the girls toys they get three isle's of items. Boy's is just 1 1/2 Isle of toys The Isle at Our local wal mart main boys Isle has Hot wheels ect die cast, some boys lego sets, wwe items, star wars figures, and some other toy's The other 1/2 an isle is RC toys from New Bright. That's the sum total of boys items.

I don't think the Olds on ebay is the same as the OP. After he answered what the casting included the hood, light's were all listed as seperate from the rest of the car. The ebay olds has the hood casted closed. Also note that the Op's master was most likely made from the Revell 83-85 Olds kit. The body lines of the op's is vastly different than the ebay seller has.
