Diecast or model trucks?
« on: February 08, 2016, 11:39:43 pm »
Hello,
I'm looking for help finding someone who does custom diecast or model trucks. I want to do a diecast or model truck like how I want my truck to look when it's finished to use as decoration for a special event and then to display in my collection. Now I know there is a gmc model available...but it's a fleetside and I need a stepside. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Are you only looking for die cast? If not, you might be able to find someone on a scale rc website that would be willing to make something to your specs. Try scale4x4rc.org for starters. There are some crazy good builders there making some cool stuff out of styrene. There are also a few guys making aluminum bodies as well. RC4WD just came out with a squarebody Blazer and several people are modifying them into trucks, both long and short beds. I've been gathering stuff to build a 10th scale replica of my truck, but working on the real truck has been slowing me down.
