I can hardly contain my excitement!!!

 

There has been nothing out there for us in scale but a few different diecasts so I'm sure there's more than a few of us looking forward to this. Here's an article on Ford pickup kit history to the late 90's done by the guys at Scale Auto...

There's been little movement since but for Modelhaus resin putting out a 57-60 Ford/Mercury pickup, Model King's re-issue of AMT's '78 F350 4x4 and Motor City Resin Casters with their '66 short box model

sweet !!! i always build minis of the cars i actually have . i see someone on that forum said they are working on a 68-69

 

Ya, have thought of duplicating my toys in miniature.

They offer B model Mack resin cast cabs, even '64 Galaxies. I do see they offer '64 Galaxie wagons in resin cast. Now, if I only made the time.

 

Wow, sounds like everyone is going to buy a case of them already. They sure hit the nail on the head with this one. I have not built models in over 30 years, but have recently been thinking of starting up again. What better than a bumpside? Can't wait for 2013.

Here's a couple of pics of the mock-ups...
