We moved about three months ago and I've been unpacking since. I had a lot of projects I was just goofing with, but they're cool and I need to get back to them. Here's some of the light truck projects.

The Suburban made me feel homesick.

Seen them all my life on Texas roads and highways.

Who makes it ? Is still available ?

The first picture, with the stepside C10; where did you source the wheels? I have a set of those hub caps and I've been thinking about using them on a similar truck. The wheels I'm pairing them with are from the Revell 41 Chevrolet pickup. The Kandy Van kit I got the hub caps from didn't have rims.

The Suburban is from Modelhaus. That one has a modified chassis from the MPC/AMT Chevy 4X4 kit series--the Fall Guy, Hardcastle, those kits.

Wheels and hubcaps on the '78 Chevy are both from the AMT Chevy van.

Nice selection there! Really looking forward to the Burb and the late 70's stepper. Henway is pretty sweet too. I wish I could find a mid 80's non stepside short bed.... I have a real hankering to build a couple. Looking forward to what you do with these!

Hey Clint, you can build up to an 82 Chev or 84 GMC non stepside short bed with the AMT 84 GMC/Fall Guy and MPC 81-82 Chev kits. B)

Come on Terry! You can do it... which one will be your Christmas Amnesty project??

I just pulled this one down off the shelf, dates back to the pre-digital photo era! It's a replica of a brush painted truck a buddy-o-mine drove back in the day. I fitted the chassis under it for the first time this evening!

I've also got the Land Rover that needs to be redone looking forward to what you might be doing with yours.

And why doesn't RM reissue the Land Rover?? I'd buy a few. Heck, Revell of Germany could clean up with them.

I've wondered the same, I would have bought another one to build the project I have in mind. But I'll just redo the one I have since its needs restored anyway.

I see the infamous Henway Speed Six... that one deserves to be finished!

I've heard (but haven't confirmed) that the tooling was scrapped by Monogram. Even though it was a pretty good kit it was a colossal dud, sales-wise.
