I'm not a big truck fan but these are nice.
I think if I came across any I'd more likely pick one or two of them up.

I found the BWF version last year at a KB store. Never saw the other two versions. Great looking pic Wyatt.

When it comes to this casting what you see in Wyatts pic are the only three versions made sad.gif . I'm lucky to have two of them. I would like to see a PIP version w/o the hood scoop if possible. That one would be a big seller thumbsup.gif !!!!!

Thanks Wyatt for the latest addition of the Picture Of The Week.
Another unique JL casting that I have always liked.

I never did see the BWF version in a store at the local level but was fortunate enough to get the casting for my BWF collection.

I love the BWF effect on this casting as it was quite unique and a departure from the earlier designs.
And this is one JL casting that my wife likes in this version.
I still like it today.

Cheers. Cobra

I was going to make the same comment - the fact that there are only 3 versions of this casting. This one can easily have more applications. I hope RC2 considers another release of this truck.

    Now I'm hooked!
