Amt offered the very successful Ford  tilt cab from the very beginning, but why did they hold back on the Chevy or GMC equivalent? I would really like to see this one.

These style trucks had a long production run, 1960 to around 1980, but for some reason, never as popular as the Ford. But,  IMO, worthy of a 1/25 scale resin offering,

I have several different Ford and GM toy trucks made by IDEAL marked Made in Japan and copyrighted between 1966-68. These were very high quality pieces with features like separate windshield wipers,horns, etc. and multi piece wheels and cargo boxes. They are about 1/32 scale and are probably where the resin kit came from. If you run across any they are impressive versions of a subject not otherwise available but they don't show up in very good shape to often as they are somewhat fragile. If i get a chance I will dig them out and post some pics as there high parts count makes them easy to disassemble and modify and many 1/35 scale parts work well on them.
