impcon Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hmmmmmmmmmm.. so let's see.. 1960-66 Chevy trucks - who likes them besides me? Promos ( did they even make an anuual '64-6 Chevy truck?? ) very tolerant wife who humours me and my hobby and never mutters or complains about my buying models - well, even she would be walking on her heels for a month if I bought one and paid what they sell for ... The old early '60's annuals have the bed floor as an integral part of the chassis and cab floor - so that's pretty much out of the question unless you are into hacking up old annuals and doing a lot of drilling and blasting to modify a bed floor.. there are NO long box versions of a '60-66 Chevy pickup on the market that I can find and yet there are versions of the '67-72 style available. Maybe if enough of us asked niocely, some enterprising and talented individual would hack up a couple of the AMY '60 or 64 Chevy short box boxes and produce an 8 foot fleetside bed.. So who all would like one? I'd take at least several if they were realistically priced ( say in the $15-25 dollar range ). I think that the resin casters are missing out on a niche here.. or am I wrong? Taking a Revell or AMT pickup and stretching the chassis is not big deal and the cabs in those kits are decent enough.. Feedback on this suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Gary, if he HAS one, mebbe you could ask Alan Raab of Ma's Resins. Alan has a TON of older kits he uses to draw his molds from. He MIGHT be able to help you out. If you could provide him with a master,I'd bet he could do it. But that's just me guessin. Go head give him a shot, all he can say is sorry. But if you COULD get him to, you'd be in for a treat, cas he's VERY GOOD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modiol Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I have a 1960 Chevy Long Wheel Base truck. It is the modelhaus resin. I painted the body several years ago and never finished building it. If you are interested in it, I can pull it out of storage and we can work out a price.

modiol Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Here are a few pictures of the truck. I had it for several years. I painted it with testors paint, and started to wet sand it to get ready for the clear, then I just boxed it up and forgot I had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impcon Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 Well, judging by the overwhelming number of responses to this post, I'd say that I am beating a dead horse.. Looks like my ideas are about as popular as a sinking lifeboat. Oh well... nothing ventured - nothing gained I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
