Do you have several in the makings? Please send link to WIP ?

[Joe Handley]

I'm looking forwards to these, especially if they're improved versions of the 1990's promos!

[iamsuperdan]

A few of these will end up in my stash!

 

[paul alflen]

Mattilacken, these were all from the 1988 MPC versions.

Same here, these look good laid out and were easy to do so with the Promo chassis that the old SnapFast Plus kits had.  Hope that these are as well, that and that they bring back the extended cab with the regular non dually long bed as a kit too, I slammed one of those back in the day and it looked a mile long!

[Chuck Most]

Not to be Negative Nancy here, but I hope there's time to fix the mirrors on the dually. The S10 Blazer style side mirrors were a head scratcher on the original dually. Would be a shame to go to through the trouble of doing an all new kit and keep that very visible screwup intact. Since these have separate lenses hopefully that weird vertical groove won't be in them this time. ?

The mirrors from the C1500 would be better than the ones that were taken from the S10 Blazer. Not sure if Danny at Scenes Unlimited still offers his towing mirrors that would be an option for the C3500.

Already a topic covering it here

A 60/40 split seat would be a better option for the 1500 unless it is going to be a 454.

Would like to see an extended cab short box 1500 with bucket seats so I could build a model of a truck once owned.

Bring on the static drops, roll pans, dressed up small blocks, billet wheels, and wild paint schemes.

Mark Oja built a "tribute" copy of the Belltech Chevy.

I remember seeing and reading about that one, I thought it was very well done. Using a ‘95+ interior was a nice touch to help make it more of an evolution of the Belltech truck.

It looks like it hit a pedestrian.

The truck shown at SEMA 1990 was the first custom truck to receive graphics designed with a computer.

Here's the box art. I feel like they could have done better with it, but at the end of the day what really matters is what's inside the box. Also, calling it a "Silverado" is technically incorrect since this generation was still referred to as C/K-*500. But I bet they called it a Silverado to appeal to more modern audiences. 

[Jordan White]

I mean it’s the Silverado trim, so they are partially correct!

True, but the 90's releases also had "C-1500" prominently displayed. Anyhow, not complaining. Just an observation. 

[stavanzer]

It will look great pulling a race car on a trailer!

[iamsuperdan]

I'm a little disappointed that it's an "easy build" curbside, but I'll still be grabbing a couple.

Well, the original '88 longbed box art said only 'Silverado', the '89 and '90 longbeds said 'Silverado C1500', the '90 stepside said 'C1500' as did the SS454...so they are more-or-less consistent..

True. I'm assuming this one was the follow up to the original you're talking about? I noticed they added C-1500 to it.

Yeah.  The one with the blue truck on the top of the box. That’s the 89, and the 90 (white w/ custom parts on top).   I noticed autocorrect changed ‘longbeds’ to ‘longbows’..
