1950’s chevy snub nose truck

[NOBLNG]

Was a version of this truck ever kitted in 1/25 scale or maybe in resin?

I’d like to attempt a version of this.

RMR did the cab in the two door and four door versions. And I also think that they did the '58,'59 version also.

I know there are kits of a 55 and a 57 cameo. By a quick look you should be able to build that truck you pictured most likely.

Thanks, I see a 1950 2dr and have seen pictures of a ‘58? 4 dr.  They don’t seem to be in the resin business anymore, as every item is out of stock on their website. So unless I can find one on eBay….

Thanks, I have two ‘55 Cameo kits which made me entertain this idea in the first place. I think cutting and splicing that cab may be a little too ambitious of a project for me though.

Here's a link with images of the RMR Crew Cab version: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/55-57-chevy-coe-resin-cab-rmr-1799038775 Probably as close as you'll get:

 

The 1/48 Revell Chevy Stakebed kit is the only COE in plastic from the major companies, AFAIK.

Thanks Casey. That is the picture I saw. Do you know if that Worthpoint site actually sells things or has links to a seller? Has anyone here dealt with them?

They just collect old completed online auction type sales. They do not sell themselves AFAIK. They are useful for the images, though.

Try contacting him. Seems like someone else on this forum ordered a kit from him not to long ago.

If I am not mistaken a regular cab version pops up on Ebay pretty regular.

This is the one that I was thinking of. It may not work for what you want.

Thanks Brian! That is a possibility, but he wants $47. shipping.? I’ll have to see if there’s anything else I want in order to combine shipping. It looks like they do all sales on eBay, not through their website.

That would be a kewl converson.  I'll be watching to see what you come up with.

NOBLING, i believe that cab is done as a Diecast 1/25, or 1/24 stake truck. I have a Campbell's soup version that Ertl did, when they were doing diecast collectables in the 1990's.Try to see if you can find a damaged one w/ a good cab, then you can use that  for the  truck build or cast the cab in resin. You have worked with mixed medium before (stryrene, resin, & metal) with great results! (Willy's jeep) .Good luck in your search!

NOBLING, I just searched the Campbell's truck on Google images . Cab is not a stubnose like the one you want. Sorry for the mis-information!

No problem Paul. Thanks for looking.

Thank You for the tip Brian. I’ve kind of given up and moved on. I tend to be a bit obsessive-compulsive.? That’s close to 150 Loonies by the time it gets here.?

I sure wish there was a cheaper way to ship to our brothers to the north.
