I want to find a plastic model truck (like Revell or Monogram) to modify and paint like my truck...

All I am finding is the 50's or the 90's models...
It doesn't have to be a 1978 Silverado, but I want the 73-78 "L" bodystyle with round headlights.
I know I saw one of these in wal-mart YEARS ago, but I cannot find it on the internet now. (My Google powers are failing me!)
Thanks to any and all who help!

65 Model truck - http://www.revell.com/model-kits/trucks/85-7210.html
99 Model Truck - http://www.revell.com/model-kits/trucks/85-7200.html

UPDATE: These models seem to all be out of product...
I wonder how hard it would be to make these plastic body panels myself?
Would there be a demand to ressurect these model years for guys like us who want to see what a build could look like?
Maybe there is a business opportunity for me here?
Sell models which can show how 4-links go into place, air-bags, etc...?!
Thoughts?
