Model truck kits

Just thought you guys would like to know that there is now a reissue of AMT's 79 Ford 4x4 available in 1/25 scale. Unfortunately it is based on the F350 Camper Special so the box and frame will need to be modified to make an accurate regular wheelbase truck but it is still a fine model. Check out modelroundup.com or modelcarkits.com.

There is also a 79 Bronco in a kit with a trailer and a 68 Cougar funny car that's just being released. Read the first post again for the sites that have info on these.

Yeah, I have known Dave for a long time, and he is a great guy. Lets hope an aftermarket company makes a 1975~1977 front clip, like Holthause/modelhause!

daddyo4, well, you could take 2 cabs, and a razor saw .....cut and paste! Seriously, I bet there will be an aftermarket guy who will do just that, like Holthaus/ modelhaus, they are the kings of resin model fabrication , you should check out their website.

The grill from AMT's 75-77 trucks will fit as the front fenders are the same. The real trick is finding one
