Made a suggestion about a Die-cast forum.
LIZ say's to start it here and see what happens so if you like playing with toy trucks please do it here.
I'll start with mine and see how it goes.
Here is one I built out of a JADA metal truck.
I put a wooden bed and used the outside trim for the bed strips. I put a set of 24" on the back and 20" on the front. Shaved all the emblems off and painted it pearl red. The wheel disc I made myself.

This Orange one I used a JADA truck and redid the doors,hood.

The black and silver was a proto type just seeing if I could fit the chassis under it. I think it worked out well.

Got the panel off of E-Bay a few years ago and had to modify it.

Most of these pic's are a little old too. I like the idea of a diecast forum, but my experience has been that when I've posted my diecast, it really doesn't get much of a response, now I'm not trying to be negative, but that's just my experience.:)

FleetsidePaul,
Where did you find the roll back or did you make it? That is sweet I will have to look at making one of those.
The pictures I posted are just what I have out where I can see them. I have hundreds of Die-Cast & Hotwheels stored. When I get the time to build the shelves in the garage I'm going to display all of them.

I'm always looking for new stuff also, so if anybody has extra's and wants to trade or buy LMK.
KEEP THE PICTURES AND INTEREST GOING!

The yellow and white one I have in the pictures is a JADA metal die-cast with a 55 chevy plastic bed mated to it. I couldn't find one either so I built that one.

There are other forums here that see little traffic. If this was made as a sub-forum from the general, it would see some use. It would be nice to find the new stuff or unusual old stuff with the click of a button. I have subscribed to a few threads and just keep them available for reference. Anyway, here are fresh pics of my collection. I have one Hwy 61 model, the yellow one, that is not pictured here. And I have the blue "country kids" truck also.

BTW, my wife collects Pez dispensers, so I started collecting the Pez die-cast. I just got the 50th aniversary set last week.

I like the idea of a diecast section, especially if guys post their modified diecasts.

I've got three modified diecast Blazers. Two are the AMT kits painted to look like my Blazers (current and past) and one WIX in progress as a slammed 2wd conversion. The rest of my diecast are all straight off the shelf. I'll post some pics in a bit, firs I've got to find the camera.

Heres a few older issues. The Chevy is a longbed so if you wanted a short step Chevy you'd prolly have to buy 2 and put them together

Andy, I got that rollback off Ebay (and paid way too much for it)

Gas stations, walmarts, etc. Just need to find a place that is stocking it. Doesn't seem to be consistent anywhere. Sometimes they ahve it, sometimes not. I have another one not in the pics that is a 22 oz. About the same height as the other bottles, but fatter.

Here is my latest find, got it tonight at a little flea market:

The prices of the old models (not just our trucks) is going up as fast as a Barrett Jackson Hemi Cuda!.. Although i've seen that truck before and he didn't sell it at that price,(too high) but it's not off by that much.:confused: :crazy:

Forget buying stock,or real estate, buy MPC,AMT, Monogram, and Revell :lol:

I just won a couple auctions for two die casts I never heard of. I did a little checking and found a website that has scanned a catalog from the manufacturer, circa 1979. Here's the website with the catalog:

Why limit this to just die cast?What about dealer promos,plastic kits,stamped steel,tin,or any other replicas.Also,why not all the other years of GM trucks or vehicles in general.This is a hot topic but it`s new.I think to broaden it it would have a better chance to become a forum.Once we all show our die cast 67-72s there`s only the occasional,"Hey,a new one`s out" or someone new coming along with their stuff.
I`m just suggesting this to help give a new forum a better chance.Like a "Toy Vehicles" forum.Does anyone know of a good general toy forum site?I used to get magazines and The Toy Shop monthly classified.Surely with the internet there should be such sites.
Here are some of my older Hot Wheels.I`ll gather up some 67-72 trucks later when I have more time.

Not Loc Riderz, but made by the same company. I found two of them at one of the two local Walmarts. Sold one here withing minutes of posting for sale.
Here's a packaged pic I took from Wes's thread. Here's a link to it. He had some for sale. . http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=250384

I just looked at that thread and there is another 67 also; white with green and black. First time to see that one.

90/87 Formula, where did you get this one? I can't even find it on ebay. It is a Loc Riderz isn't it?

I have a zillion 1/24 scale diecast banks all stashed.Ok,I exaggerated...more than 500,at least.These were real hot then faded away,almost.They`re still made,but nowhere near as popular.I went to Texacos right after Thankgiving every year,got the Daytona and Sturgis ones before the events.I was on the sucker list of alot of the producers.There was Eastwood,oil companies,ag related,automotive,on and on.They were doing matched sets where there was the regular version and then the short run.Had to get both.I tryed to stick to Chevy vehicles,but you had to get the whole series if you were serious and I did.My next house will have a bar/rec room with a museum of all my stuff.I love opening a box and sliding them out to take a peak at the nice paint they had.

Been working on the wall since the real truck is at the body shop. Got some rare stuff to show you. Well they may not be rare but not everyone will pay the kind of money I did for 4 cars.
These are the Boyd Coddington Collection it took me almost a year to collect the cars that it took to get this collection but I did.

These were membership cars and the Brooks & Dunn cars were given to me at a concert. My brother use to work for them.

I thought I would link to the other thread on a new Hot Wheel (mainly so I could find it easier).

Egads!. Nice little truck, but the cost to get them is up there a bit from the $1 I'm used to getting them at. Membership for $25, plus the cost of the truck. I'm sure eventually I'll get one though. I love that color. It's what I've had picked out for my truck for about 20 years now.

I saw those two on ebay and went to check my Paypal balance. When I came back, you had bought them. Nobody else is listing them separately. I guess I'll have to buy the full Wave 5(12 cars/trucks). I collect the 57 Suburbans in that group too.

:metal: I just got the Cheyennes and the 57 Suburbans off ebay, from a seller called:diecastwholesale. He has 4 more of each one. They're only $4.99 each. They're listed as Jada High Profile.
Don't have to waste my gas/time going to Wal Mart every couple of days for a while.:lol:

I have a request:Could someone please order an extra RLC`69 for me since I`m without plastic until I`m divorced?I expect to pay over the listed price because they are an exclusive and worth more on the secondary market.And,because it costs to be a member which makes them more than the list price to members.

ps:No comments on my custom painted coupe?

So true, Wes has kicked my butt on Ebay more times than I'd like to remember :lol:

Of course all will be forgiven if he puts me in line for one of those extra RLC trucks ;)

As far as I know I have em all! And yes I like your custom painted coupe! Some people claim a nice custom is worth more than a Treasure Hunt car due to it being one of a kind. I also have almost all of the 57 Chevy variations except for about two.

Somebody say wrecker. This has the wrecker and 4 other models in it.
Remember a model already built with missing parts is like owning a real truck that you have to find all the parts for.

Yeah, I had a watch on it all week, but I bid as high as I was willing to pay. I was sniped on something else the night before that I was the only bidder for the week on. That one kind of burned me though because I already won another item from the same seller and had to wait three days on this to combine shipping. Goes with the territory I guess. I'll just have to wait for the next one or whenever.

What I typically do is save the images and make a page for a binder I keep with as much info on a toy as I can find. Then when funds are available and I can find the things I'm looking for, I'll bid. That new RLC and the treasure hunts, in the binder. Some Hwy 61's, in the binder. Those stamped tin factory trucks for each of the truck plants, in the binder.

Now that we have this thread going, maybe I'll post a couple things I'm looking for. Some people might have extras, especially for some of the more vintage items.
