1958/9 Chevy Cab Available?

[impcon]

Just curious as to if any resin casters are producing 1958 or 59 Chevrolet pickup cabs in resin? Big or small back window - I like them both. Also, does anyone cast a large big truck version cab  for a Viking or a Spartan series?  One caster had one a number of years ago but it was not all that good. I bought one but never used it as the one fender and headlights had an obvious droop and the fender emblems were kind of crude and not aligned with each other. And besides, the one emblem was backwards as the caster never bothered to master two emblems - they only did one leaving one side wrong.It was too bad because it would not have taken all that much to correct the master to produce a decent, workable truck. I suppose someone who had the abilities and patience to drill and blast and correct the drooping headlights and set the fender onto the cab in it's roper place could do something with it. Any suggestions?

The Modelhaus offered resin kits of the 58/59 trucks, not sure if anyone else has/does?

I agree: the Motor Max diecast is by far the cheapest alternative, $9.99 at my local Walmarts.  Far from perfect, but seems pretty good proportionally, to me.

For the bigger trucks, Ertl made a '57 Chevy 8400 stake truck in a whole bunch of different versions.  I know you were originally asking about '58 or '59, but I figured this may be of interest.  I believe it's a actually 1/25.

These pop up quite a bit on eBay and can sometimes be had for mid-$20s in decent condition.  I recently picked one up for less than $20 that had some play damage (missing mirrors and fender lights, and a broken leaf spring)
