Re: Resin Models - found someone making our trucks
These are called "phantoms" or conversions.You buy existing kits for donors to build what could have been but never was offered.In more recent issue kits by AMT there`s a long Chevy Fleetside and a short GMC Fenderside.There are phantom GMC Wideside tailgates to use on the Chevy Fleetside bed and Chevy Stepside tailgates made to use on GMC Fenderside beds.So,you can build a Chevy or GMC long wide bed or short narrow bed.That`s where the phantom short wide bed comes in.The grilles are interchangable and all these are 69-72 style.There are vintage kits for 67/68 and yes,phantom casts are made.If all this seems too complicated you can always just get a real truck and swap parts.But,those teeny paint jars will drive you crazy.........
