I got most of mine on Ebay. I think all of the ones I have now, have been discontinued, except for the black Highway 61 '72. They do, show up on there pretty regularly, so if ya don't see one, just keep checkin back. The '68 Johnny Lightning's are the hardest to find, especially the red and solid blue ones.

Re: Post your truck model pics here.

There is some cool stuff in here. I want to get back into building model cars. Seeing the scratch built stuff reminded me of many years ago when my brother and I would play with our 1/24th scale trucks, I used to customize them. I would use tape to put racing stripes on them and tint the windows and stuff. And the I would build snow plows, caps, stakes, and all sorts of stuff to go into the beds of our trucks out of popsicle sticks, tooth pics, and tape.

wow! i eould love to have the cab/truck from that kit :( :lol:

Re: Post your truck model pics here.

WOW, I didn't even know we had a model section here.

Ok, I'll post my Chevy truck that I'm building.

This truck started life as an AMT 1984 GMC 4x4 kit (re-release of MPC Fall Guy) that my friend bought and robbed the suspension and axles from and gave to me. Since it was missing the 4x4 parts, I figured why not build my truck.

I started off with the first thing that is incorrect for my truck, the bed. The kit has a shortbed and my is a longbed. I'm not finished because I need another box and frame to pull it off. Here's how I'm doing it.

Now the rest of the truck. I found a guy on the net that made the single light grille. I had a set of 5 slots cast from an old Ford kit, and I found the proper front bumper.

I started work on the interior by correcting it. It had 77-80 doors and 73-80 dash which I both scratchbuilt and modified to the post-80 style. I also removed the GMC from the tailgate band.

And finally, the truck as it sits now.

I hope to finish this one by next fall.

Re: Post your truck model pics here.

Here is mine. I couldn't find a 71-72 LWB 4x4 so I built one. Used the 2wd truck kit and stole the frame (and lengthened) from a blazer kit. Fun little project, I set it on my big trucks air cleaner at shows and it gets lots of comments.
