diecast 1:18th scale do they exist?
Hey guys... I have always loved the chevy/gmc 80's pick ups. Im only 25 and have already owned 5, 2 S10s and 3 Full size.. currently have an 87 Stepside that Im playing with. At any rate has anyone ever seen or come across any die cast models in a 1:18th scale of the 81-87 body style? Ive seen the matchbox 1:64 but I already have a collection of diecast cars and they're all 1:18th scale... bigger is better
 Thanks for the replies |

Ive been looking for those myself. I look at every convenient store and wal-mart I go into and cannot find them. I have searched Lincoln Mint etc. and cant find them. If anyone ever finds a company that has them, I would sure love to have one.

Re: diecast 1:18th scale do they exist?
Still looking for the 81-87 body style above all else. ERTL made a 1/25th scale Fall guy truck back in the 80s but it's cheap and plasticy compared to todays models... high expectations i guess... 1:18th is where its at, and diecast! The limited run of the lifted ones look decent enough... Im gonna order one... but PLEASE keep me informed! Im still hunting

Check Ebay for the SoReal versions, they are sometimes cheaper
