leafsprings Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 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.
lapazleo Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Many building possibilities with this one. Porky's resin did have one in 1/32 scale I was thinking.
leafsprings Posted October 17, 2016 Author Posted October 17, 2016 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,
Shafter44 Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 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.
