Don’t feel bad Deuce. Back in the late 90’s I paid about $40 or $50 for the original 1976 copy righted “Boondocker” 1972 Blazer kit at a model swap meet when I lived in Detroit. The kit wasn’t even complete. Now today you can buy the limited supply reissue for $21.75…plus I found the original Boondocker on Ebay today for $9.99. http://cgi.ebay.com/AMT-T200-Boondoc...QQcmdZViewItem

This is how the original Boondocker kit turned out. I build this one around 1998 or 99. I added aftermarket aluminum tubing for exhaust, aftermarket scale Super Swamper TSL’s and fabricated a lift kit for it. It seems these days I don't have time to build real trucks or models.
