Where can I get Ford 70s dog dishes?

[randyc]

I am going to attempt to build a model of my truck.   I *think* I've seen these before in a kit, but not sure which kit.  Anyone have any ideas or any they want to part with?

Thanks

Hmmm...these look similar to some resin ones I got to use on the AMT Ford van. Can't remember where I got them from..one of the Detroit area casters, IIRC.

 

Edit: remembered what I was thinking of--Morgan Automotive Detail.  These hubcaps.

Cool.  I found some On Fireball's site for Mustangs which are closer on the actual hubcap, I think, but the ones you sent are closer on the whole deal.  And they got a trans that looks close to my later 5 spd.

There was a set in the old MPC Ford van kits.

Oh how I wish Round 2 could find that tool and make a Coke version of it!

Those are slightly different.   They represent the 14" wheels and the trim rings go almost up to the cap.  I did look at them.  Thanks for mentioning them.  Was going to use them if nothing else available, but the MAD resins mentioned above are even closer to mine.  

Now if I could find a proper bedside...

Randy, some of the Early 1980's Revell (not Monogram) Ford Pickup kits might be a help on the Bed Issue.

Try Here. Chris has an excellent overview.

Revell made at least one Flareside kit. Kit # 6411, but You'll be haunting the 'Bay to get one.

Aside from slicing and dicing with the AMT Lightning and MPC Bronco that Revell kit is the way to go.

Good sources for the M5OD are the AMT Ranger or the Lindberg '97 F-150.

I have a set on a build of mine that I believe like said came from an old MPC Ford van. I have a 1:1 86 F150 I built a model of years ago and never did fix the bed issue but is something that really makes me not like the build and one of these days I'll start over..

I know that one is out there, but it would be a search and wait and cost might be more than I can justify.

Thanks for the articles.
