hello to all, thought I may share a little info, that some of you will already know, about an old favorite kit of mine, the AMT hillbilly hauler. I guess I get a bit sentimental about this model, as I got it for XMAS 1968 along with 7 other kits. I know most of us have all the info needed about the many Lindberg issues of this little gem, however for some of us, I thought I may share info regarding some very nice little goodies that appeared in the original issue 34 ford pickup, as well as the second issue that was around in 1965 or 66, then finally in 68 with this issue..... the street rods issue from the 73-74 era, and the stake truck version a bit later, like the Lindberg versions, did not have some of the features I will list here. photos to show these will be posted with this thread in the next day or so, to compare the parts with the Lindberg kit............the hillbilly hauler has-2 chrome spot lights--a very nice 2 piece trophy --chrome adjustable wrench--a large 2 piece service fire extinguisher--4 large concrete blocks--service road flares--2 small square gas cans--4 way lug wrench--pair of mud flaps--and a nice, 4 piece tire rack. if you like vintage service equipment, the hauler is a neat kit. anyhow, I will get some pics on here soon, showing some other features of interest too.....the early versions also have a very nice ribbed box cover, where the Lindberg version is basically flat.....more to follow...........the ace.......
