Petetrucker07 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 What would the price be on this. The wheels are already turnin with ideas
Jim B Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Lot of possibilities with this one. Looks like a nice kit.
jeffb Posted November 3, 2014 Author Posted November 3, 2014 70.00 plus s&h. hope to have it on the website soon. plus..there will be decal sheets available separately.. we're thinkin s.w.a.t...taco trucks.......
Casey Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Saw this on eBay last night. Very nice. These would typically run a GM engine, either a V8 or inline six, correct?
Old Buckaroo Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 First look at this and all I saw was Big $$$$$$$ as in Snap'on, Mac Tools ect Super looking casting and as Bill said with "lots of possibilities".
mikemodeler Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 This could also be a nice Haz Mat response fire unit or command unit. With Hostess making a comeback, it would also make a nice bread/snack truck too!
Mackvision Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Make a real nice "TastyKake" delivery truck too! (northeast guys will get it)..................................................Mark
Art Anderson Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Saw this on eBay last night. Very nice. These would typically run a GM engine, either a V8 or inline six, correct? Ford or Chevy chassis and drive train, take your pick. Grumman built just the bodies, were adaptable to either make of light truck chassis. Art
jeffb Posted November 4, 2014 Author Posted November 4, 2014 Saw this on eBay last night. Very nice. These would typically run a GM engine, either a V8 or inline six, correct? the chassis is promo style. you would need to cut the engine bay open
Foxer Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 I've been waiting a long time for one of these .. you have my order when they go up ...
Ace-Garageguy Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 I see a land-speed-record Krispy-Kreme donut truck.
Edsel-Dan Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 I would Love to do a S.W.A.T. version, But the clip I have shows a Metro badge on the nose. Besides, it would take me a year or 2 to save up for one!!!! Also noticed, rear doors are Full width! Any one else remember this Oldie??
randx0 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Looks cool , I'd go broke before I ran out of ideas for this .
Ron Hamilton Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 That one brings back memories. I sold quite a few of them over the years.
southpier Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 I know a plumber who has one for sale. "it ran when I parked it" and he's using it as a storage shed for his bicycles. wants like $1,800.
Aaronw Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Neat, I've been after one of these from Uptown for years, he never seemed to be able to get them in long enough to take new orders.I know what I'll be asking for this Christmas. Hmmm rescue, hazmat, dive team, mobile shop?I know a plumber who has one for sale. "it ran when I parked it" and he's using it as a storage shed for his bicycles. wants like $1,800.There is a 1950s or early 60s GMC step van on my way to work, pretty tired looking but restorable. Has $2500 painted on the windshield, it has been there for a couple of years now... Cool looking truck though, would make a neat RV.Is this an improved Dannon yogurt?gregI believe it started out that way.
Ron Hamilton Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 its done! the master was supplied by jim amato at uptown automotive. after a bit of clean up and a few mods. its ready for consumption. Looks to me to be a standard height 12' Grumman Step Van with the standard 38" rear doors. I would love to do one in the standard aluminum finish.
randx0 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 I think I saw one of these back in '85 in front of the twin pines mall . It was like 1 a.m.
chunkypeanutbutter Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 I think I saw one of these back in '85 in front of the twin pines mall . It was like 1 a.m. I think you saw it at the Lone Pine Mall
Petetrucker07 Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 I think you saw it at the Lone Pine Mall I definitely saw it at the Twin Pines Mall at 1am. Some fancy souped up Delorean rolled out the back of it. Funny thing, i also saw it running around town blasting Surfin USA with some dude with long hair on top of it doin a hand stand
