Re: 73/87 model kits

Here are a couple of mine. Have many built square models just not pictures of all of them. The first is a AMT Fall Guy reissue with a 88-98 Sportside bed. The black one is a AMT Sod Buster (I think?) kit from the 80’s. Both are basically from the same AMT tooling.

I built this one about 5 years ago


I build this one about 20 years ago


Square wrecker kit


Not a square but a cool ’72 K5 I built about 10 years ago. This is an old AMT kit as well.


The exhaust that came with the kit was pretty sucktastic so I made exhaust pipe out of aluminum rods
