Roger, did you sand the chrome off or use a GMC bed?

Both actually. I used the Chevy tailgate on the GMC bed. I had to modify it a little to get it to fit.

The Shortbed Stepside GMC was offered earlier than the kit box pictured

I have a few of Both stepside kits

The original boxart for the GMC was a white and red box with an artistic drawing of the truck,

I 'Think' in black, not a picture of a built.

 

Also, I have at least 3 of the MPC Longbox Stepside and 2 of the modified reissue 'Heavy Pedal' but still

do not have the Blue 'Rolling Thunder' version of that kit.

Hopefully some day.....

A reissue with stock option would be boss ! I'm keen on those long bed step sides (or whatever GM's nomenclature was).

Yes, this one. This is the kit Tom Carter told me was modified to make the current '72 Chevy long fleetside so unless Round 2 does the clone thing with it, it can't be reissued in this form.

Same kit as the one with the red buildup and wide billitt wheels.

understood, fair enough given that everything has skyrocketed in the past decade and a half.
