I am 71 years old and have been making models since 1955, so I've been around the block! I am big fan of your reviews and, especially, your enthusiasm. I am currently building the Lindberg '34 Ford truck as per the May, 1964 issue of Car Model (the Surfin' Wagon), but I bought the AMT reboot after seeing the wonderful job you did with the kit as the service truck. Keep up the good work!

Cool little kit. I haven't built/owned a model in 3 decades. However I've managed to acquire 60 kits or so this month. I've hit all the thrift stores around here so I've gotten kits from the 80's up to present. I've also ordered lots of 3-D printed parts and diorama pieces and will be acquiring this kit as well. Looks good 👍

Looks great. Reminded me of the way kits used to be, but there again it is a vintage kit. Love all the extras they used to put in. AMT and Monogram were usually the best at that, But when Revell decided to do it, they usually went all out to where you could actually build 2 whole models. The last monogram I bought, had 3 complete models, with 3 versions for each. Never have built it.

Nice review & build up Chris. This kit has a storied life span. It was 1st introduced in 1962. It was re-issued several times in the 60's/70's. When Lesney/Matchbox acquired AMT, this mold was in a machine shop being repaired/restored. Lesney moved AMT operations from Mich. to Maryland & left this mold at the machine shop. It was considered abandoned & was sold to Lindberg. When Round2 acquired Lindberg this mold came back home to AMT & has now been re-issued in this retro box art of the 1962 original issue. You did a nice job on the build up of this kit. You could (if you like) build up the 390 C.I. T-bird engine & display it on the engine stand. I always enjoy your review & build videos. Keep up the great work.

That is a nice build. I did one in 1969 in brown. One thing that was nice back then was that the kit could be built as a dually stakebed truck. I have 2 now in progress. One stock body in Ace almond beige with black fenders. The other is in a duplicolor dark maroon. This will be a custom truck I have several hopped up flathead engines to choose from, also a couple of Y blocks. Haven't made up my mind on that yet. And I am sure you are aware that superclean does remove the chrome. Sometimes in seconds, or it could take a couple of hours.Also sharpie ultra fine point pens do a good job for tail lights, and turn signals.

I've built this kit twice, the first time was way back in the mid 60's. And that first kit was built, torn apart and rebuilt at least a couple of times. It was molded in red back then. The only difference I see it the tonneau cover was thinner and had stretch details in each corner. The second time I built it, it was in white, and instead of a tow truck, it came with a flat bed.

Hello, I first saw this kit when my brother got it in 1961. It was molded in a nice red plastic. I got this kit a year or two later and it was molded in black. AMT sold it to Lindberg several years ago. Nice to see it back home with AMT. Lindberg also released it as a rack body kit. The kit has not changed but with the exception of the fuel cans. You use to get two fuel cans with it. I'm glad to see it again and with all the cool extras. I really enjoyed this build it looks great.

I have the last issued Lindberg version of this kit. I originally wanted to build the street rod truck, so I removed the front bumper brackets. I soon lost interest of the kit, and now I want to get back at it and build it stock. But the bad part is, the bumper brackets were cut off and were discarded. Going to figure out something and fabricate my own bumper brackets. Won't be perfect, but it's worth a shot. Lovely build you have. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours, Chris.
