AMT/SMP 60's Chevy pick up kit add ons-Stake body

[GLMFAA1]

Came across in my stash the black plastic stake body option from the early 60's Chevy pick up kits. Anybody want to give a guess on the value of these parts. They re-released the trailers, motorcycle and go cart. What happened to the stake body?

Value would be determined by how many people you can find, who have one of the original pickup kits and want to build the stake version.

Round 2 hasn't got the tooling for the original pickup, so I'd guess that the stake bed is long gone too.  

The motorcycle wasn't released again after its appearance in the '63 Chevy pickup kit.  As for the go-kart, some parts are original but most are retooled.

Ironic that this came up just as I’m building a flatbed dually stake body.

The modern kit they released with those parts isn't at all the original annual kit. That one was tooled up and first released around 1999, if I recall correctly, and go cart was retooled only very recently.
