Nice ride, just remember to pick it up before you run over it ,lol. I have one just like it and another in black. Some of us just never grow up ,do we lol. Good pics by the way almost convincing

 

Boy, that brings back memories..........spent alot of time as a young man building models,
till I was "old" enough to start working on the real thing......more affordable too!!!

 

Very cool! And still I have a child like desire to see how fast I can make it "drive" into another car...

 

...The_Girl HAD to me one too just to show me how kool my...eerrrr...I
mean "our"...... '56 "will" look with the outside spare......I'm surprised

she didn't paint the cab top the correct white to complete the two-tone

paint scheme......

 

How did you ever get that huge rock moved in front of the truck????? Nice toy!

Brings back childhood memories... now where did I put my firecrackers????

 

Nice truck! How does it drive? LOL... You almost fooled me with the first pic....T/M

 

LOL, and don't forget to squirt it with lighter fluid first!

Nice truck Ed, you had me fooled until I read a few comments!

 

I remember the old AMT "3 in one" kits. I had boxes and boxes of left over parts to build other models with. They all got thrown out by "mistake" many, many years ago.

 

I still have a few kits that are waiting to be started. At 60, I still like to tinker with the car kits now and then, even made a wrecker once and took a lighter to a clunker and pushed in some dents while the plastic was soft, so I would have a wreck to hook up to.

 

Nowadays the kits are nothing like they used to be. Some don't even need glue! I guess kids were using the glue to get high. They don't have half the number of parts as ours did. Oh well. Good memories. I go on e-bay once in a while to see what is around. Found some interesting models...never followed up on them.

 

VERY nice truck. Congrats!

 

You have the REAL THING; the "toy" is a die-cast metal replica from the Danbury Mint.

 

Still a nice "truck'. LOL
