I got the last JL Boondocker he had.I never find this stuff or have time to look.

**FleetsidePaul** · 01-16-2008, 02:54 PM

Well here it is folks...better than I expected its got the whole box reproduced and its just awesome, I'm going to grab as many as I can find. Cracks me up how they just changed the grille from a 71 to a 69

**special-K** · 01-16-2008, 11:52 PM

COOL!The model doesn`t state a model year on the box.Made it easy for Johnny Lightning.I noticed AMT didn`t put model years on any of it`s Blazer or Jimmy kits.I think JL should have put chrome reverses on the Blazer,though.I think they got cheap on the wheels and tires.They could have used what they put on the dark red one with gold wheels.
It`s funny,between this model kit and now the JL replica,that accessory graphics kit will become known as the rare Boondocker option.I predict that AMT/Ertl will re-issue the kit next.They`ve already made the crossover.

One problem with that Tim. AMT is not producing any new kits at the moment. The parent company is trying to sell AMT/ERTL and are just burning off inventory...

I just ordered one of the Johnny Lightening Boondockers yesterday from NUE-Wheels.

spudly · 01-18-2008, 12:55 PM

Went over to a collectible shop in Redwood City today and found both Von Dutch Cheyenne's and the 5 Deep set with the yellow and white Cheyenne. Best part was walking out with change from a $20 on them.

Now if I can just find the 5 Deep set with the flamed black one

You better go buy a lotto ticket quick...because you have some serious luck!

**special-K** · 01-24-2008, 11:51 PM

Cool...
Were there two or three Von Dutch trucks?I`m on the prowl for the two 5 Deeps.

90\87Formula · 01-25-2008, 12:14 AM

Tim, there were only two of the 72 Cheyenne. Black and Gray. They also put out two of the 1953 model. One was Black/Gray and the other was rust/red.

**special-K** · 01-25-2008, 08:43 AM

Cool...I have those two.For some reason I thought there was a 3rd.How many Cheyennes did they make?The 5 Deep,Von Dutch,and DUBs?
I got my JL Boondocker yesterday.

70C10Step · 01-26-2008, 04:15 PM

I just bought three more for my small collection.

90\87Formula · 02-01-2008, 06:42 AM

Tim. They made 6 of the Cheyennes in 1:64 scale. Here's a pic of some I modified. Yeah, the JL Boondocker is the best one yet.

Actually 8 if you count the two from the 5 Deep sets, Black w/Flames & Yellow/White.

90\87Formula · 02-01-2008, 07:03 AM

I stand corrected and I do have them too. I cut the back and put them in packages.

Thank you icesickl. I show my wife your stuff and now she has no complaints about all my stuff

**FleetsidePaul** · 02-05-2008, 12:46 PM

I'm sorry did you have some diecast...all I saw was a calendar

pissonNOS · 02-05-2008, 01:21 PM

wherd u find the little rims, canadian walmarts sucks for those kind of 1/64's we have a very limited selection

icesickl · 02-05-2008, 01:27 PM

I own an Aftermarket wheel and tire shop and performance. One of my vendors gave me the mini wheels for display. I thought the made a nice touch to my collection so I took them home. The perks of being the boss.

hgs_notes · 02-05-2008, 11:59 PM

icesickl, Yikes!

Here's some new diecast to look for. I found a couple from this series (not the blazer) at a kaybee store last week. Nothing on ebay yet. They look very cool.

hgs_notes · 02-06-2008, 12:06 AM

Dang, maybe they were never released. That would suck, these things looked great.

Here's a diecast for the mid-70s guys. I found these at WalMart today.
Matchbox '75 Chevy Stepside. I also found some of the Hot Wheels purple '62 Chevy Fleetside with surfboard. Cool additions to the collection. The 75 color is a little lighter in color as the upper right corner of the card with metalflake.
