Ramfins59 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Nice one Rich. Any idea what was the very first promo ever ? I have no idea Ray. Thanks Carl. Now I've only got another half dozen cars to get to complete the "Class of '56."

atenzapower Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Does the kit offer 2 dashboards? Left side & right side steering. No just the right side

moparfan1 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Got the Grumpy's Toy Nova at HL and the only Race Car Hauler they had left was mangled So they were nice enough to order me a new one.

A play on the words to the song Uneasy Rider '88" by Charlie Daniels. Dale Great song, the first version too. Bought some old plastic the past week. I swore I wouldn't buy any old kits again. Oh well. Edited March 7, 2014 by Greg Cullinan
Fabrux Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I stopped by a local collectibles shop today. He mainly deals in books, coins, paper currency, comics, etc etc but occasionally he'll buy up a bunch of models from folks that are looking to unload collections. A couple years back he had 100+ airplane and armour kits in. I was checking up on his automotive brochures (which I collect) when I happened to notice in one of his display cases a few promos. I asked to look at a couple and we got to talking and turns out he just purchased a lot of 80 or so GM promos from the late 70s through to late 90s! He dug out the boxes as he had limited display space and I rifled through and picked out these two duallies. I had no idea that the 97-98 Chev pickup dash was ever offered in scale! There are a couple other promos I'd like to pick up when I have some extra money again. Didn't end up getting any brochures today...
Toner283 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I had no idea that the 97-98 Chev pickup dash was ever offered in Scale! The snap fast Dually from AMT Ertl has the new style dash in it if you were looking for one for a build and did not want to destroy the promo. The one that is maroon on the box. I am not sure if the street machine version also has the new dash but I would imagine so since they are the same tooling.
slusher Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Great song, the first version too. Bought some old plastic the past week. I swore I wouldn't buy any old kits again. Oh well. Nice score. Old kits are great..

The one that is maroon on the box. I am not sure if the street machine version also has the new dash but I would imagine so since they are the same tooling. I have one of those snap kits, actually, and it has the 95-96 dash in it. The 97-98 dash has a passenger side airbag where the 95-96 dash has a shelf with cup holders. That being said, the dash is actually incorrect as the 3500 never had passenger airbags until the GMT800 body change; the dash was the same as the 1500 trucks but with a cubby in place of the airbag. I'll be thinking long and hard about using the 97 promo for parts as the cab and interior are what I need to make a replica of my 1:1 98 K1500 GMC.
Speedfreak Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) I got a set of AMT parts pak (PP008) Goodyear 'Blue Streak' slicks at HL for $4.79 plus tax, $5.22! (40% off coupon). Wooohooo! What a deal! Edited March 8, 2014 by Speedfreak

Went to the other shop and bought two paint stands and 2 wired distributors and some sheet styrene Edited March 8, 2014 by dwayne4385

tbill Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 found these on the local craigslist, mack, astro, cali-hauler and reo are un- started/complete. the movin on kit is complete, but has a bad paint job [in the pond] and somewhat assembled motor. IH is a train wreck, but salvable I think. ford p/u was part of the package, still in bags inside.
