Dentside model kit ??

Did any companies like AMT or Revell or whatever ever make a 1/25 scale model kit of the 73 to 79 pickup trucks?
Thanks

im building one right now, its a re-issue from AMT, not the best quality and a lot of it is incorrect, but you can build something decent out of it.

The kit is molded with the Super camper special 140" wheelbase, has the spare tire door and the t-case is divorced, it also has a 460.

I shortened the wheelbase to the regular 133", married the t-case and im building it as a 4x4 1/2 ton.

It also has the parts to build it as a 4x2 if you desire.

I've got one at my house right now that I built as a kid. It's a 1976 F350 RC SCS and it was an AMT kit. I converted it to 4x4 using parts from a Dodge Power Wagon kit.

I dug out a old pic of some of my models I did many many years ago. I was going to Craigslist them so that is why I had them on the table.

You can see on the 2nd row 2 Big Foot models, an white 80's Bronco a red Ford monster truck and a black one next to it, that was the Firestone model.

And alot of other brands of 4x4 and even a few home built 4x4 ones..decided to not sale them and just boxed them all back up.

Now I need to go dig out just the Ford trucks and get some better pics.

Do the doors and hood open on the firestone model? And are the flames and stuff just stickers? Because I really do not want them, I just want a 1979 model truck like the truck I have.

It's a model kit. Doors probably do not open, hood probably does. You paint it how you determine, the flames would be water slide decals.

Tailgate opens yes, but it has the Super Camper special bed and 140" wheelbase. I shortened one and building a flatbed for it

Not from a kit (and a bump, not a dent) but it adorns my cube at work:
