It's almost Christmas time and I'd like to get son #1 a model 1968 Chevrolet C-10. Does anyone know where I can get such a model kit? All I've seen is '72's.

Hooter · 11-27-2003, 01:03 AM

Ebay will have a lot of the older trucks because currently even the 72's aren't avaliable anymore

Deryl · 11-27-2003, 01:16 AM

Not sure about the models, but Hallmark has a 72 Chevy long bed ornament this year.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-27-2003, 01:17 AM

What no 72???? Like a plastic model or diecast... Seem's like you cold go to the local hobbie shop and look threw some catalog's for the truck you would like to get and have them order it??

Martin64 · 11-27-2003, 02:06 AM

This is the best selection I've found so far......

You would have to go on Ebay. The 68 model is very hard to find and brings big bucks because it was only made in 68. The closest I hav been able to find is a 69 and I paid $40 for it. They do make them in dicast but I would rather build it in plastic...

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-27-2003, 12:23 PM
