Boy, I'd like to see more of that Ford P/U.

They released it as a street truck a few years ago.

Another nail in the coffin that is the Blazer version, but good news none the less:

1978 Chevy Blazer Pulldozer
Item no. 14532

[stavanzer]

Well, it Will Be nice to have the Blazer back.

I can see the  Kit Bashing possibilities already.

When is this coming out

[Fabrux]

No earlier than Q4 this year, I'd wager.

Where did you find information about the mad mudder/pulldozer kit

Nevermind I found it

From the looks of the parts you get, it looks like someone would have to make a hood, a rear roof with glass, and some seats (front and rear) to make a proper blazer.

I plan on making the hood from the '76 Pickup fit, and just doing without the Topper, and scrounging up the seats.

I'll wind up with Sorta Stock Blazer, but that will be close enough to satisfy me.

Might not satisfy others, but I'll be happy.

[Fat Brian]

You'll need to use the front bumper from the pickup too, there's not one in this version of the Blazer.

[Fabrux]

Although they might not be entirely correct, the seats from both the Bronco and Ramcharger kits fit in the Blazer interior. And vice versa. Ask the parts from the '76 K10 fit the Blazer body.

Wondering if the top from the Bronco could made to work on the Blazer? Probably shaped differently.

Not even close.

[Fabrux]

The front of the roof where it meets the cab is almost square on the Blazer while the Bronco has a curve to it. The tumblehome on both trucks is different from the other, too. But anything's possible...

Hello I heard that revell is going to re release the pulldozer/mad mudder pulling truck I was wondering..... I have a old blazer/GMC jimmy that was a glue bomb would you like to cast some parts fr the kit let me know the body is badly damaged but the interior parts are good,the engine is decent  it has the the hockey hood and other part let me know please thank you
Would any resin caster out there like to cast these parts 

Thanks Mike.s

I would buy a few of those sets if somebody made them up, especially with that Hickey hood. The Pulldozer would be good for the undercarriage alone.

I'd be in for that hardtop and hood. Seems like a no-brainer for someone with a 3D printer (hey Iceman!)

[Mike C.]

How do clear parts come out with that setup? Maybe make the entire top clear then we could just mask off the windows and paint the top. Like the top on the bushwhacker jeep.

[stavanzer]

Hardtop , Hood and Seats, woulde be great!

Olsen Bros, are you looking? With the Pulldozer on the way, the Hardtop, Hickey Hood and Seat / Console parts would be great. I'd even cut the flat windows from plastic, if I had to.

[mjsjr]

Iceman collectables,vcg resin and trailer trash customs have not responded to me yet.iceman not interested in the parts and vcg is so backed up he has no time to cast them I've been looking for people t cast these parts

I was just thinking that same thing.

Also, I have one of those winch bumpers/rear bumper kits for chevy from Olson bros. Really nice stuff. Getting a few more for Ford.

The way things are right now? Who knows. It seems to be six months to a year between when they first show something and when it's actually on shelves.

[stavanzer]

It is on Pre-Order now. 

HPI Guy has the kit in his hands now, and will likely do a build sometime soon.

[mikemodeler]

Wes at Wes's Model Car Corner should have that PullDozer and Silverado in stock by early next week. He mentioned them last night in his weekly show.
