die cast

Don't know if you guys are interested but I stopped off at the local Orchard Supply Hardware today and they had a nice little die cast 66 for $13.00. When I pulled it from the box it looks more like a 65 from the grill. After a litle goof off the OSH sticker came off without damaging the paint. I may have to paint it W. White when I paint mine. It will look good as a paper weight in my office.

Very cool find, I wonder if a tractor supply would have the ( 65 ) truck!
Who makes it? Thanks!

I have 2 die cast trucks, one is a Hot Wheels size, and one is a 1/25, like the size of a model car. Got them at the Portland Roadster Show in Portland Oregon. I will have to look when I get home to see who makes them.

I will have to check who makes it but it is 1/25 scale and it was on an end cap. They had several maybe I should go get some more.

Will post manufacture later this week.

The 65 is made by sunstar in 1/16 scale
The 65 was also made for Kmart looks like it was copied of the ertl molds but has no back window to the cab. 1/25
The 66 is made by Ertl and is mostly in the wix black. still in production.
there is also a 1/64 66 ford CC out there by Johhny Lightning.

Modelhaus has a mold to produce the 61 to 63 unibody in a resin cast short bed big window in 1/25th but it currently is not in production. They also produce a resin cast cab 64 to 66

There is also a 64 resin cast 1/25th grill out there for the 64 but i have yet to locate it.

I saw a Ford promo toy truck on e-bay recently. It had the IFS on it, but actually had the 60 mismatched bed. I was suprised they didn't use the SWB.

emailed taratoys, the only WIX 66 i can find to buy is a "coin bank" ? I like the models with opening doors etc... but it does have a custom cab emblem on the door so.... well may have to go with it..$10.00 wonder if I could get a 65 and slip the (grill) off of the bank hahaha

I have the Wix 66 F-100 bank and a 65 1/25 scale metal truck made by Sun Star. The doors, hood and tail gate open. And the steering wheel turns the front wheels.
