Roadrunner Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Aside from the (apparently hard to find), Revell '99 Silverado, which appears to be stock, I found this kit last night. My question: Does this kit have parts to build stock, or only this low rider looking thing? Edited September 18, 2017 by Roadrunner
Roadrunner Posted September 18, 2017 Author Posted September 18, 2017 I'm also very much interested in either a 1:24 or 1:25 GMC Yukon (year doesn't really matter), but have had no luck whatsoever in finding one, other than die-cast, which is certainly not going to be my first choice.
Rob Hall Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 I'm also very much interested in either a 1:24 or 1:25 GMC Yukon (year doesn't really matter), but have had no luck whatsoever in finding one, other than die-cast, which is certainly not going to be my first choice.There has never been a Yukon kitted in any scale. The first generation Tahoe (Chevy version) was made in 1/25th scale by AMT as a snap kit over 20 years ago. I can't recall seeing a die cast Yukon in 1/24th, but there are 1/24th Tahoes and Suburbans of various years out there in die cast.

That may be what I'm thinking of, regarding the Yukon, Rob, so thanks for the clarification. It seems apparent that I'll never own either either a Silverado or Yukon, so models may be the only real hope I have of ever having one.
martinfan5 Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 The only Silverado kit with the stock parts is the stock version of the kit sadly , the closet you can get to a Yukon is Revell did the Caddy Escalade kit, no stock wheels though, I think it was a part of the Donk or Cali wheels series
