Interesting heard of goats Wyatt. I remember when the 1:1 first came out. My dad and another fella were commenting on how it looked like an old studebaker truck sucking on a lemon. I like that two tone one in front the best.

You are not kidding about the MPG rolley.gif
My daily driver is a 1999 4X4 Ram 1500 extended cab just like these. I love it. thumbsup.gif I sure am glad I only live 1.7 miles from work so I still spend less on gas than most of my co-workers.
THANKS for the pic WYATT

I have 3 or 4 of this casting. The Walker Texas Ranger is probably my favorite.

Image courtesy of JLCollector.com. Thanks Wyatt.

This is the version of this casting that I really like, shown above.

Thanks Wyatt for the latest edition of the "Picture Of The Week".
JL castings of trucks seems to be subject that we woefully neglect.
And there are some very nice truck castings that were produced by Playing Mantis.

Cheers. Cobra

Here are 2 customs that were done for me:

The two-tone was done by my friend, Bill (Dadvball); the hitch was fabricated by John (Snowman) who unfortunately is no longer with us.

    Now I'm hooked!

Fury,

What a great looking "speed parts" truck! Why do I never think of these cool ideas?
