First Gear 1956 International panel delivery.

Kinda interesting to me and when I saw it after getting the NAPA 56 F 100, had to have this one as well.   Nothing like a good work truck.  The load in this one is fixed, like the 56 F100.   I was hoping to have more parts for the diorama.   I may pop the head lights and try to do silver or white on the back to make them stand out a bit more.   But that will be about it.

I gotta quit lookikng at trucks.   I was watching an auction for a First Gear International Scout over the weekend.  Came with an Auto Zone/Jada 79 Camaro and an Oreillys M2 57 210, which i do NOT need.   Had to talk myself out of it.  We are just about completely OUT of storage/display space.   I do like the top delivery though.   The pickup is interesting as well.   I have a Speedway truck too.  Thanks for the photos - good to see more fun stuff.

I hear ya Randy! I only buy diecast trucks in 1/24 or1/25 and only if there is no kit for that vehicle!

You need this one too....

Looks good but your right about the headlights they could use a bit of work.

I do need that Econoline.  My grandfather used a plain white one for a work van and I spent many a summer day in it.  Sometimes riding the engine cover when I was the youngest person.

THOSE LOOK HARD TO FIND>...

First Gear did have a blank white one out last year, I was about to get one ( I think it was around $50-60) when this popped up for an unusually low bid.  Hopefully one will pop up on eBay for you.  Not to get sidetracked but I got a first gear 60’s (?) International pick up to repaint and add the service bed from the mobius ford to recreate my grandfather’s Burlington Route lineman’s truck.

Thanks - I'll set up a search for them.   Just a general Econoline search and I can choose from there.  I have not seen a plain white one yet.

Man, must be nice to have a NAPA nearby. We haven't had one in Wichita in about fifteen years or so. These are some impressive looking pieces I must say. I'll have to do some eBay hunting soon.

These things are awesome.... Very nice, indeed...

I think we have that, Oreillys, advance.   And they are each in a cluster on one side of town.  Other side has Auto zone and advance.  Small town.  I haven't been IN the NAPA store in years.  I don;t think any of them are doing much in diecast?  Oreillys has an M2 57 Chevy, but not sure if the others are even bothering to have diecasts now.,  Are they?
