Die-cast 67-72
 

Made a suggestion about a Die-cast forum.
LIZ say's to start it here and see what happens so if you like playing with toy trucks please do it here.
I'll start with mine and see how it goes.
Here is one I built out of a JADA metal truck.
I put a wooden bed and used the outside trim for the bed strips. I put a set of 24" on the back and 20" on the front. Shaved all the emblems off and painted it pearl red. The wheel disc I made myself.

This Orange one I used a JADA truck and redid the doors,hood.

The black and silver was a proto type just seeing if I could fit the chassis under it. I think it worked out well.

Got the panel off of E-Bay a few years ago and had to modify it.

Cool, I love toys! Ive got a bunch of little ones, but I can only find this one pic right now. Ill take more & add them here later...

Re: Die-cast 67-72
 

Most of these pic's are a little old too. I like the idea of a diecast forum, but my experience has been that when I've posted my diecast, it really doesn't get much of a response, now I'm not trying to be negative, but that's just my experience.:)

Fleetside Paul, that's an awesome collection you have. I especially like that tow truck model :metal:

Re: Die-cast 67-72
 

I'm at work so I will post the rest this weekend. This is about 1/10 of my collection.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
 

Ok-I have looked for a stepside 67-72 model- with no luck---anyone make such a thing?

There are other forums here that see little traffic. If this was made as a sub-forum from the general, it would see some use. It would be nice to find the new stuff or unusual old stuff with the click of a button. I have subscribed to a few threads and just keep them available for reference. Anyway, here are fresh pics of my collection. I have one Hwy 61 model, the yellow one, that is not pictured here. And I have the blue "country kids" truck also.

BTW, my wife collects Pez dispensers, so I started collecting the Pez die-cast. I just got the 50th aniversary set last week.

Here is a cabinet in my bedroom that houses some of my 1/64 stuff. These are loose cars and trucks I have at least 2 of.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
 

I like the idea of a diecast section, especially if guys post their modified diecasts.

I've got three modified diecast Blazers. Two are the AMT kits painted to look like my Blazers (current and past) and one WIX in progress as a slammed 2wd conversion. The rest of my diecast are all straight off the shelf. I'll post some pics in a bit, firs I've got to find the camera.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
 

Heres a few older issues. The Chevy is a longbed so if you wanted a short step Chevy you'd prolly have to buy 2 and put them together

Andy, I got that rollback off Ebay (and paid way too much for it)

Re: Die-cast 67-72
 

hey hgs_notes where did you find those Nitrous Oxide drink bottles, those are way cool :cool:

Re: Die-cast 67-72
 

You guys find all the cool stuff. Just another reason why living in a rural area stinks! Keep them coming...

Re: Die-cast 67-72
 

Gas stations, walmarts, etc. Just need to find a place that is stocking it. Doesn't seem to be consistent anywhere. Sometimes they ahve it, sometimes not. I have another one not in the pics that is a 22 oz. About the same height as the other bottles, but fatter.

Here is my latest find, got it tonight at a little flea market:

Re: Die-cast 67-72
 

I'm just as rural as you. You just need to get out more!:hm:

Re: Die-cast 67-72
 

Just bought another toy on ebay. Not die cast, but I've been looking of and on for about a year for this one.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
 

I can't beleive this is a real auction. I like collecting Die-cast and models of these little duds but this is the one!

Re: Die-cast 67-72
 

That might be true. :lol: The walmarts around here never have much for toys except around xmas & not a whole lot then even. :whine: ...

Re: Die-cast 67-72
 

The prices of the old models (not just our trucks) is going up as fast as a Barrett Jackson Hemi Cuda!.. Although i've seen that truck before and he didn't sell it at that price,(too high) but it's not off by that much.:confused: :crazy:

Forget buying stock,or real estate, buy MPC,AMT, Monogram, and Revell :lol:

Re: Die-cast 67-72
 

I should have my collection dug out and up in a few days..
