Found a '72 I Forgot About - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Going through organizing/arranging my attic I came across this little diecast '72 made by Yatming.I remember they made a lot of '73-up style trucks but forgot about this one.The attic wasn't well lit but there was no mistaking the grille.I brought it downstairs and there's no mistaking what this puppy was modeled after.I can add this to my collection of somewhat offbeat/less seen replicas.It's from the late '70s,hence the graphics,side pipes,and even the turbine-style wheels:

I've got one of those! They are cool for sure.

I wish mine was in better shape.I'd like to find more.

I've got a couple of the later model Yatming's but I've never seen that one before very cool.

It was in my 33 year old son's stuff.I automatically assumed it was a later '70s one,then saw the grille.Then I thought it was generic,took it downstairs and could see all the "cues of the '72s".I think I used to pass over these back in the day cuz they were cheap imitations...DOH! I'd love to have a stash of these in cherry condition now.

Hey Lance,I just noticed the same one in your "What are these worth" thread.
