  1. More than likely the daully bed would be a regular bed with the extended side panel added on. Use the chevy bed with the GMC step sides added to the bed side's
  2. A friend of mine sent me the reissued Peterbilt tow truck kit for Christmas. I decided that First the Tow truck bed ect would go on a International Truck , And that left me with the Peterbuilt day cab to build. So while looking around online I found a few single drive Conventional's . The one I really liked is white with a red stripe and blue lower part. I painted mine as close as to what I found online, and added a few altered IH parts to help finish it. Lost one of the cab lights still haven't found where it took off to.. The blue paint is dupli color GM Bahama blue

    I'm no expert on the subject of the SMP/AMT '60 Nomad "craftsmans kit's But I think they were molded in at least 5 or more colors during their run. Red, green, blue,light blue and ????

    My two copies are mot promo's but the Craftsman kit's. Why some had the correct tail lights is odd, but then The first issues of the International Transtar II carried the air suspension from the 4070 kit.

    I got the same wagon , well 2 of them really. I rebuilt mine factory stock. Both has the correct 4 tail lights! If you really want to do a restro mod I'd just buy a Jimmy flintstone resin copy. Ebay sometimes has the chassis and front bumper/grill for these. Being as old and never reissued as the model is I would suggest keeping it all original, and stock.
  6. Alrighty then, because IH trucks from the 60's to early 1990's had a distinct look compared to those of Ford, KW, Mack, Peterbilt, White, Freightliner GMC , And Chevy
  7. I'm more into factory stock, but I do like your color choices. Now if I could get the parts I need to finish my '71 and '73 Impala/Caprice's Then I'll have every year from 1970- 76 , But I;m missing a 1975 Caprice.
  8. while one is finished the second is waiting on the battery box cover, and I need to get the headlight glass put in.
  9. Yes the cab, and rear cab mount were moved forward. back of the engine almost meets the cab leaving very little space between them.
  10. I seen them selling resin kits on ebay. Are they good casting's or over priced Junk. I was looking at their '73 Caprice for the missing Parts to use on my '73 Caprice...
  11. Right back at you Sam.Thanks for the Paystar 5000 , and enjoy the suburban!
  12. I got a Restorable International Transtar 4270 (missing the battery box cover) other wise complete. I also have another copy of the 4270 on the way, and both are ebay buy's. First photo is the one I got in the mail, the other photo's are of the copy that is coming..
  13. Gary, I had one of those years ago when they first was out . As I remember the trailer does have an opening door plus a complete interior. Monogram also made his car in 1/32 scale to go with them.
  14. Most of that can be found in Model Rail roading supply's I know hobby lobby has some of the grass, weed's and such...
  15. Actually I bought it yesterday! I paid $10.00 for the AMT snapfast plus Chevy C-3500 street machine custom. The box was open with the parts loose inside , But it was completely untouched otherwise. I put some of the parts up for trade for stock one's My plan is to build as a stock GMC 3500 pickup
  16. Anyone have pictures of the coca machine, and the bottles from the ford van kit??? ( of the actual pieces that is , not from the box art)?
  17. Really? I heard that the '67 became the '68 as they share the basic body shape. Where as the '69 is totally different in body design even the roof is different from those of a '68
  18. I don't think that any model companies made a 1/25 1952 Chevy Bel-air. I know lindberg has a 1/32 '52 but nothing like it for 1/25, and to make a '52 you would have to get resin conversion parts for a '52. The 68 Impala molds either were scrapped, lost or damaged, and the '69 Impala molds were changed into the '70 Impala.
  19. Vince, sorry to hear that you lost your wife to cancer. I hope she didn't suffer to much before her passing. I lost a Aunt, a Sister, and my dad to cancer. My aunt's cancer went to her brain, My sister passed with cervical that spread from her uterus. Then my dad had a blood born cancer. I also lost my wife 6 years ago as of December 28 Th , She passed away from complication due to a mix of renal failure,congestive heart failure, and being a diabetic didn't help.
  20. Towerhobbies show's it is expected as a April release. But we all know how that goes so maybe closer to July I'd say.
  21. Started as a glue bomb That I bought for $3.00. I will need to replace the windshield and do some other work to it so it's not a finished Van yet.
  22. Looks like winter has came to Van Wert Ohio. I'm not ready for the white stuff ,But it's here. Forecast calling for up to 4 inches, and another Inch on Tuesday YUCK!!!!!
  23. Anyone heard from Dave? I see he last visited on September 27 Th. I orderd some parts from him but since he hasn't visited here I don't know if they have been shipped Or ??????
