Did I actually see AMT/MPC reissuing the '78 Dodge 4 Wheel Drive Pickup?!!
So I won't actually have to shell out a Kings Ransom for one now?!!!

My pops had the 1972 extended cab and oddly enough, I had the Rupp mini bike, then later we had a pair of Kawasakis. Can't wait for this one.

One of my best friends dad growing up had a '73 Moss Green, 8' Stepside, ugliest baddest truck I even rode in! Had narrow Goodyear Power Lug tires, that thing would pull a tree down!

Now all I've gotta do is find an 8' stepside bed off of an old 72 Chevy and I'm in business!
Anybody got one?!!

Might be simpler to cut up two Little Red Express beds to make an 8 footer, those shouldn't be too hard to find and the rear fenders are shaped correctly.

I'm pretty excited about this truck, I towed my race car with a '78 Dodge long wheelbase like the kit.

I saw on the Model Roundup site that Model King will be releasing a 65 Ford F-100 with utility box. June release date.

The guy that did the real nice fake boxes did one....but not kit. The Model King kit coming is the first utility box in 1/25 plastic.

Now when we say "utility box", are we talkin the kind that spans the bed behind the cab, with a lift door on each side? I hope, I hope, I hope...?

Hey Dave -- A little off - topic here, but I am eyeballing a Squad 51 rig in HO Scale. It would use the old ROCO 1972 Dodge pickup cab, and the utility body off a Trident Chevy pickup " U.S. Airforce " model. It would be a tribute model to a buddy I lost early this year; Matt was nuts about fire apparatus. His phone ring - tone was the Emergency TV Series station call out.
