Hey guys,
Check this auction out on ebay!. I have never seen these models for our trucks. The guy selling it has a GMC stepside also.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1724605676&r=0&t=0

Check out Wal-Mart I bought that model a few years ago there for $8.00. Still see it on the shelves from time-to-time.

70c10 · 04-23-2002, 12:39 PM

I was at Carlisle this weekend and couldn't find anything like these for our trucks. I might have to get this then paint it to match my 70'!

Alex · 04-23-2002, 04:18 PM

I have the same model at home. Still see it once in a while on the shelves. Funny thing about that one is in the pictures, the engine emblem shows 8-400 while the actual emblem in the box says 8-350. Wasn't too happy as I wanted to make it look like mine which has a 402. Still haven't gotten around to putting it together.

I built that one...didn't care for the fit and finish.

im in the process of building one. cut the grille to be a 69-70 grille and put an inline 6 from another truck model in it cause that's what mine has. I started the model when I got my truck so it is like original but now I am modifying my truck. Maybe I'll have to do one before and one after?

Pretty d@mn nice. Good fab skills ont he flat bed too.
If you mix flat black with thinner, you can fill in the 'holes' in the grill while leaving the chrome on the grill.
Comes out sweet, but I'd try it on junk parts first.

I've got a half assembled one of those setting in a box. I tried to do the two-tone white/red stock combo but the colors kept running together. I got frustrated and gave up for now. I guess I'll never be a body man!
