Superpeterbilt Posted January 15, 2016 Author Posted January 15, 2016 I finally got my hands on a 58 Chevy promo pickup. Ive been hunting one for awhile. They pop up occasionally, but they go for a high price. Ive been holding out for a good deal, and Im satisfied. The plan is to turn it into one of these.
disabled modeler Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Terry... That is sweet. Even though I restore promos and try to keep them original as possible myself....I like your idea for it..!
Old Buckaroo Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) Terry - seeing that promo almost brought a tear to my eye. I use to own a '59 fleetside. I like your idea , The rule of thumb is - You can Never go wrong with Spoke wheels ! Edited January 15, 2016 by Old Buckaroo

Mike77 Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Found the AMT Peterbilt California Hauler 359 mismarked at $24.99 today (at Hobby Lobby in Milford, CT). Got it for $15 with a coupon! Good find! I'm looking forward to future AMT releases because for months now all of my area Hobby Lobby stores have had nothing but an endless supply of California Haulers and WF COEs.
gino Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 that 58 Chevy is sweet ! will be a great project !I just purchased the Peterbilt California hauler. I may build a hot rod like the pissed off Pete , or a needle nose not sure yet.
10thumbs Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Man that green Chevy with the spoked wheels kills me! Is there an old GMC kit or something along these lines with those wheels out there?Gino, sounds like you have a plan.
highway Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I had to pick up some paint for my K100 build today, and this talked me into bringing it home too!
Superpeterbilt Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 The kits that come with those wheels are the Ford C600 and the Diamond Reo. I have plenty of them if you need a set for a build.

I like your idea , The rule of thumb is - You can Never go wrong with Spoke wheels ! Sean, Im a little jealous. 58-60 are my favorite year Chevy/GMC trucks.

Mike77 Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 These just arrived in today's mail. The Aerodyne is open but it's all there. A little water damage to the decals which I won't use anyway. No immediate plans for either one but the prices were right on both.
