Diecast or plastic model
 

Does anyone know where i can find any or have one they would like to sell??

My gf had a 70 c10 bbc short fleet side that she had to sell years ago. she is in the process of trying to get it back.

Her bday is coming up and i know she would like to have a replica of her truck.

soooooo, any 69-72 model kit or diecast!! her truck was white.

PLEASE HELP ME!! thanks

The plastic kit that is out now is a 72 longbed. Every so ofter you can find a resin short bed on ebay. Sometimes you can also find a resin 69-70 grill for the kit. Most of the dicasts are 72 short fleets...

There are a bunch of Jada die cast models in just about every color except white. I've never seen a white one. Here is a red one I repainted to match my truck.

Usually you can find the plastic long bed at WalMart. I have 2 of the dicast shorts, one is solid silver and the other is black and white...

doesnt look like you can order them from there web site, ill drive around and look for some in stores tommorow. thank you!

Re: Diecast or plastic model
 

The AMT plastic kit is available out there in LWB form. It's gonna be real hard to find a short bed. Just buy this kit and shorten the bed yourself.

look on ebay for highway 61 die cast models...they have a couple different years, some have been discontinued others are still current..and prices vary..but super nice models, everything opens and its very realistic here is an example

I can`t get over how Danbury Mint missed it`s mark with that model.I couldn`t believe they put cab lights and blackwalls on a CheyenneSuper.That wasn`t exactly typical and certainly not prefered.The full wheelcovers came with whitewalls,if they wanted to be correct.

I never see these Dub trucks in any stores.What stores would carry these?

Re: Diecast or plastic model
 

I bought mine at flea markets mostly. You can try here also.

Has anybody seen a 67 or 68 model? I just secured a 68 longbed and want to build it in scale before I do it in real size lol

This 1970 kit is the earliest I have seen in a while for that series of truck:

There are usually some promo models available on eBay, like these 1968's, but they are usually priced beyond the casual hobby budget. Also many of the early promos were made out of a plastic that warped badly.

Re: Diecast or plastic model
 

I just picked up one like the guy on here, bit not the dub version. I also researched a few of these threads and found a guy who is molding his own. I'm ordering on from him, but it looks likes a bare basic, no wheels, motor or "glass". I think I'm gonna do the front end of the plastic with the body of the metal one and detail the Hell out of it. I have a few old models from my late teens I never got around to. I guess nows the time!

Hiway61 makes a red short box 67 in 1:18th scale. I saw one in a local Hobby Store the other day and they had it priced at 119.99 and they wouldn't budge on the price. This particular model was released in 2005/2006and is now discontinued but they pop up occasionally on Ebay. Another good diecast site is diecast.org

Re: Diecast or plastic model
 

Doing a little surfing on this thread I came across the HiWay61 I mentioned.

Re: Diecast or plastic model
 

I found a few from diecastwhole.com bought the white case one and I'm in the process of finishing up the shave job on the 1972 jada one I have. I'll post pics when its done then tear into the 68 lol

Truckstops like pilots and TA are great places to find the DUB trucks.
