If this thing was a step side I'd be all over it...thought some of you fleet-siders might find this interesting

What bugs me is to build a wrecker,it`s a 1/2t with hubcaps.Keep a look out,MPC made one but it`s an 8-footer.Easy to shorten.I don`t build the vintage ones,personally.Look for the AMT`72 GMC short step and swap grilles.They were a re-make not so long ago.

Every time I try to bid on one of those, they always get to $50-75 :(

Same thing with the yellow blazer model kit, I think it's called the "boondocker." Cool thing now is that AMT made a new blazer, but no 67-68 truck yet :(
You can buy a resin one, but they're $$$ too.

I have found a 69 resin grill on ebay, so you can use the 72 kit and have a 69 :D

I`ve seen these truck models go for over $100.

I'd like to find one of a Chevy '69 stepside...do they make such a creature? Or are you saying buy the two models and combine them to make one?

You`d have to "kit bash",there weren`t any made.You`d have to find the`72 GMC Stepside(AMT)and get that`69 grille Craig was talking about.I would only consider building a re-issue,personally.But,this kit was re-issued in the`90s and won`t be that cheap,either.

I have that blazer!

Never seen the grill conversion before.

There IS a company that makes shorbed boxes, stepside boxes, and 67-68 cabs/clips. They're all resin. I can't remember if the cab had a small window or not. But they are all resin kits and were posted on the board about a year ago. If I remember correctly, they all go for $50+

They have 72 resin burbs on ebay frequently, I've been thinking about getting one, but I've yet to see an auction that includes the glass for it??? :crazy:

Checkout the link in General for Diecast. I found the sub resin body with the plastic windows for like $55.00

I bid on this,but got sniped,as usual.I`m glad,I put an automatic bid on it without seeing that it wasn`t even complete.I was going to stay with it,though.It`s a great box in condition and artwork,but not worth $50 to me incomplete.I was just going to add it to my display.My 1st bid,I really don`t care for Ebay.
