Sicmaro · 11-06-2007, 12:01 AM

Does anyone know where i can find any or have one they would like to sell??

My gf had a 70 c10 bbc short fleet side that she had to sell years ago. she is in the process of trying to get it back.

Her bday is coming up and i know she would like to have a replica of her truck.

soooooo, any 69-72 model kit or diecast!! her truck was white.

PLEASE HELP ME!! thanks

72 CustomCamper · 11-06-2007, 12:42 AM

The plastic kit that is out now is a 72 longbed. Every so ofter you can find a resin short bed on ebay. Sometimes you can also find a resin 69-70 grill for the kit. Most of the dicasts are 72 short fleets...

Sicmaro · 11-06-2007, 01:48 AM

i havnt been able to find the long bed for sale anywhere on line.

and havnt seen the short bed anywhere. is it something someone or a company makes??

Andy4639 · 11-06-2007, 01:59 AM

There are a bunch of Jada die cast models in just about every color except white. I've never seen a white one. Here is a red one I repainted to match my truck.

You can check this thread out also for other's to buy.

Usually you can find the plastic long bed at WalMart. I have 2 of the dicast shorts, one is solid silver and the other is black and white...

doesnt look like you can order them from there web site, ill drive around and look for some in stores tommorow. thank you!

70GMCer · 11-06-2007, 07:09 AM

The AMT plastic kit is available out there in LWB form. It's gonna be real hard to find a short bed. Just buy this kit and shorten the bed yourself.

70cstjr · 11-06-2007, 07:16 AM

look on ebay for highway 61 die cast models...they have a couple different years, some have been discontinued others are still current..and prices vary..but super nice models, everything opens and its very realistic here is an example

Sicmaro · 11-06-2007, 10:57 PM

Well i came across this at a local diecast shop, $14.99 ITS NOT WHITE but i did some magic haha......

Andy4639 · 11-07-2007, 04:45 AM

Here is another shot of it with the wooden bed I made for it.

72BlckButy · 11-07-2007, 08:27 AM

**special-K** · 11-08-2007, 08:27 AM

I can`t get over how Danbury Mint missed it`s mark with that model.I couldn`t believe they put cab lights and blackwalls on a CheyenneSuper.That wasn`t exactly typical and certainly not prefered.The full wheelcovers came with whitewalls,if they wanted to be correct.

I never see these Dub trucks in any stores.What stores would carry these?

Andy4639 · 11-08-2007, 03:31 PM

I bought mine at flea markets mostly. You can try here also.

This 1970 kit is the earliest I have seen in a while for that series of truck:

http://cgi.ebay.com/1970-Chevrolet-F...item4cf7818985

There are usually some promo models available on eBay, like these 1968's, but they are usually priced beyond the casual hobby budget. Also many of the early promos were made out of a plastic that warped badly.

jakespade · 05-30-2011, 05:59 PM

I just picked up one like the guy on here, bit not the dub version. I also researched a few of these threads and found a guy who is molding his own. I'm ordering on from him, but it looks likes a bare basic, no wheels, motor or "glass". I think I'm gonna do the front end of the plastic with the body of the metal one and detail the Hell out of it. I have a few old models from my late teens I never got around to. I guess nows the time!

Hiway61 makes a red short box 67 in 1:18th scale. I saw one in a local Hobby Store the other day and they had it priced at 119.99 and they wouldn't budge on the price. This particular model was released in 2005/2006and is now discontinued but they pop up occasionally on Ebay. Another good diecast site is diecast.org

**Already Gone** · 06-10-2011, 10:58 AM

Doing a little surfing on this thread I came across the HiWay61 I mentioned.

jakespade · 06-10-2011, 05:02 PM

I found a few from diecastwhole.com bought the white case one and I'm in the process of finishing up the shave job on the 1972 jada one I have. I'll post pics when its done then tear into the 68 lol

Truckstops like pilots and TA are great places to find the DUB trucks.
