Jordan White Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Member Cheyenne93 has a build going of the recent Bronco kit, and is using a parts box set of American Racing Gambler-style wheels which he thinks may have come from a GMC Stepside kit. I can't find reference to one that featured them, so I'm wondering if anyone else here could make a positive ID on the kit source?
Mark Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Those wheels look like the ones in (most) Lindberg issues of the '34 Ford pickup.
Jordan White Posted February 21, 2018 Author Posted February 21, 2018 Thank you very much! I just searched and I believe you are correct.
Casey Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 The Gambler style wheels were also done by Monogram, but I can't place the exact kit they came from. These had the chrome plating removed, but they are the Monogram wheels in question:

Most of them were black with flames on the box, but there was a 1990s "Deluxe Kit" issue with paint and glue that was molded in yellow.

There was an Ansen Apollo wheel, which looks very much like an American Racing Torq Thrust wheel: http://www.akhwheels.com/pages/showWheel.php?pk=60
