Thank you for posting this. My first vehicle was a 85 Power Wagon W250. It sat in a field for 15 yrs before I came across it. So many memories getting it running , and it breaking down. I picked one of these kits up , and even thought the grills are different, I'm still painting it in memory of my 85.

[@hurtlocker6611]

im am so glad these old MPC kits are coming back out, i was wondering about 10 years ago if some company would get these old molds and start re-issueing them again, i guess my whish came true i recently bought the 68 Coronet Convertable and im waiting to get the hardtop version,plus i want that new 1971 Demon kit. i found your channel about a month ago and love it, it is the best model channel on youtube, thanks ps keep them coming. oh ya im in Canada so it takes longer than you Americans to get these kits.

[@francispotter5300]

Bought a 1976 Dodge new 318 silver long bed black int white rims , l think it had a black plastic gas tank brought back good memories , paid 4,444.00 including license and taxes out the door those were the day's thanks for sharing your build great job

[@hpiguy]

Thanks a lot Francis!

[@markbeech3455]

This guy is super cool how he puts a little story behind the truck and mini bike for his son

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for spending some of your day with us at the Workshop and leaving a nice comment! If you haven't already, come join the fun on Facebook at hpiguys Workshop

[@danielross1033]

I love these trucks my dad had a orange 79 power wagon long bed with a 360 in it when I was a kid we used it to hall scrap metal and fire wood and go 4 wheeling It had no lift I’m in my 20s I haven’t spoke with my father in a long time we don’t really get along anymore but I think he still has that old truck good times

[@od1452]

I bought my 1500 new 14 years ago... still running strong. Great build . Thanks.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you!

[@Alecs_automotive_adventures]

I managed to find a stepside d100 at a car show, paid $15 for it and made it into Steve Dulcich's mopar muscle truck

[@hpiguy]

Cool!

[@jackdehler]

@@hpiguy can you make a video of all the models you have made

[@chriscapobianco9763]

I love the interior color perfect for blending in all the coffee spilled!!!!!!!

[@hpiguy]

Right?!

[@NOSJNKY-yu4jz]

That truck looks so incredible, your weathering techniques and imagination to come up with all those little details nail it every time.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks a lot!

[@JSEvans-or5xe]

Model reviews aren't supposed to get you choked up, but I grew up in a blue collar family and your little story to go along with the model got me right where it hurts.

[@hpiguy]

Glad you liked it, sorry about making you choke up. But we all have those memories if our parents worked for a living.

[@maryfiltz800]

Always like when they have all the extra little accessories in these kits. Thanks for great build again. You made it so interesting, not just another truck.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@ronroberts2453]

WOW Chris, you really out did yourself on this build/review. This well worn work truck is spot on!! EXCELLENT build and presentation on this one.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you Ron!

[@MrButtonpresser]

I loved this particular MPC model as a kid in the 70s. I must have built every variety it came out in. This brought back some memories!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@portland-182]

Another awesome build. My Dad used to have a Ford in Daytona Yellow - it was a magnet for Bees, Wasps, and flies in the summer, who were mistaking it for a giant flower!

[@andyrichardsvideovlogs8835]

I had a Daytona Yellow Ford too.... Faded badly and every insect in the country was having sex on it...

[@hpiguy]

Nice!

[@theguythehobbyshop7880]

thx for taking us along on your bench work! i really like the subtle evolving of your channel. ive been watching you for a couple years now. slipping in the remark at the end about the powerwagon was spot on ! i hope the kats @ round2 let that one soak in for a few! that build looks like it would be from the same construction crew from the gear hustler el camino you built last year

[@hpiguy]

Thanks, I agree, hope we get to see more Dodge's from this mold!

[@Duececoupe]

Love it! 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻😍 More 60-70's Dodge trucks! 🤘🏻✊🏻😎

[@hpiguy]

I agree!

[@fubarmodelyard1392]

Some pre 78 dodge truck kits would be great

[@bradleyogden5688]

Yes, mid 60s POWER WAGON.

[@fubarmodelyard1392]

I always liked the 56

[@bucknertarsney7674]

Dude, Chris, awesome build!!! Nice job with the weathering!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Buckner!

[@denniswood2576]

Excellent build Chris, love your touch making it a well used truck.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you Dennis!

[@johngligo4049]

Excellent build Chris! Loved your weathering, choice of colors, that green door as well as the mis matched wheels!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks a lot John!

[@TheDgrinch69]

This is by far my favorite model assembly of yours to date!! I had this exact truck, brought back a lot of memories! Mine was the blue color that is on the box art. I had the Cragar 5's with the fatty's on the back...miss that truck...great video. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for the support!

[@caleb4750]

I just picked up a 1977 dodge d100 slant 6. She started today after three years of sitting pretty badass.

[@shannonmorrow2399]

Wow! Chris, great build. I really like how you got the rust in all the right places. Nice realistic build.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you Shannon!

[@SmallADVentures1973]

Man that thing turned out GREAT! :D Really enjoyed watching this one (as always), love the way you weatherd it and did the door/wheels like that, looks like a real truck I would have seen back in the day as a teen in the 80's beatin' around. Nicely done B)

[@hpiguy]

Thank you!

[@gravelytodd]

What a great job !!! I do have to admit this one set off my OCD. I was doing fine with the green door, but the mis-matched mirrors and the one mag wheel sent me over the edge. LOL

[@hpiguy]

Thanks! Haha, sorry about the OCD!

[@jameswarner564]

Awesome work and great detail in your work!

[@hpiguy]

Thank you very much!

[@KBCC_Garage]

😮. Now I want MINE ! lol. Another great build/review! Can’t wait to get a couple of these.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Clifton!

[@Snakewoods98]

Love the “beater” look on this one mate, all the mix-matched parts and weathering details really suit it. Nice one

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Dale!

[@chopperbaldwin610]

That is so cool, I love the D100 trucks. Great weathering technique my friend. Keep up the great work and have a great day.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you Chopper!

[@kevintersavige125]

Beautiful job as always Chris!!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Kevin!

[@michaelmaddy278]

I used to build models when I was a kid in the 60s, they were t as complicated like they are now, wish they would go back to having metal Axel's for both ends like they used back them. You could Jack the car up, or lower it. Used to take a red ink pen an make redline tires if they didn't come with the kit. Had a lot of fun building those kits. You could buy 3or 4 kits for what one cost now.

[@vernonhayden7069]

always enjoy your kit reviews, you always sound so excited no matter what kit you're reviewing. Keep the video's coming

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching Vernon!

[@jimmymckay73]

Love the back story . The build is quite amazing .

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Jimmy!

[@Brianthehistorynerd]

This came out amazing Chris. Everything looks the part. I was loving the steely missing the hubcap that was a great touch.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks much Brian!

Great review as always Chris. Truck turned out sweet. Thanks for doing these reviews on the new kits. Cant wait for the next one

[@hpiguy]

Thank you!

[@justinmyslive4108]

Reminds me of an 87 Ram short bed a former neighbor of mine had. He shoehorned a 440 out of a late 70's Montico after going through it and freshing it up. We used to fry the rear tires on that thing. The neighbors loved us. Lol

[@shoe2241]

turned out really nice!!! like the weathering.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Just got this kit.......Looking forward to building it !! 👍👍👍👍

Great build and review Chris! Well done...and when you buy a kit from Jack @ Model Roundup nothing could be better than that! Great job and thanks for sharing Chris...

[@hpiguy]

Thank you Mike!

[@hishamaziz3282]

Came out very, very nice! Back in the 80's, I was living in Champagne, Illinois.. and a friend of mine had a small landscaping business while we were going to school.. and he had a truck that looked just like that.. hood a different color.. mismatched wheels.. I thought of him as soon as I saw this truck :)

[@hpiguy]

Awesome, thanks Hisham!

[@doozersmodels3193]

Cool build... looks great

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Doozer!

[@stevenertle2876]

What a terrific job you make me want to build models again I have a hundred and fifty models I'm not kidding you mostly a muscle cars cuz I'm a Ford muscle car nut but I love them all and I love the talent you make it look so easy

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Steve, just grab a kit and get to having fun!

[@stevenertle2876]

@@hpiguy hey bud I was wondering what glue do you use do you use to use super glue on everything cuz I know the old standard tester glue takes forever to dry and what's a really good brand of glue super glue that you use and if I could ask why do you use Rust-Oleum to seems off-the-charts opposed to any other paint and if I may ask one more LOL I see that you use that floor shine for your final but I've seen you use clear coat to how come you would do that or both I appreciate your response thank you again great work

[@robertschildt306]

That looks great!! You paint and build some awsome models

[@hpiguy]

Thanks a lot Robert!

[@CHixon]

I remember Dodge trucks back then, they didn't paint the whole unit at once so the panels were slightly different shades. Folks complained about it. Dodge's basic engine would have been their slant six. Like Ford and GM sixes, they were all well designed and fondly remembered.

[@redcastle12b31]

Had a mini-bike just like that when I was a kid!

[@MADExCLEARxMEDIA]

Looks like you shrunk down a real ol' truck, VERY realistic, very nice, thank you

[@hpiguy]

Thank you Jalil!

[@robmacdonaldonline]

[@dejugulators]

Fantastic work! Great looking truck, very realistic. I learned to drive in a turquoise ‘67 Dodge pick-up... would love to find a scale model of that year someday.

Thanks, cool!

This too is an awesome build man! LOVE the music you play during the spray process. You ALWAYS make each of these videos VERY entertaining! I am VERY curious to see what the next build is?

There are some 4WD parts on the trees so maybe we'll see it back!

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

@@hpiguy Yeah, I saw the mounting holes for the front leaf springs on the chassis. Let's hope they do!

[@r.a.monigold9789]

It's the "mis matched" things that add both detail and deepen the story. Very nice. You are an artist whose canvas is styrene - WOW. Thank you for sharing...

[@hpiguy]

Thanks again!

[@jakebrumleg8363]

I built the 1984 4x4 long bed release of this era dodge. Mine was missing suspension and drivetrain so robbed an old lifted ramcharger kits lifted suspension and wheels and made my own 440 six pack from my spare parts. I stole the transfer case from an old parts bronco I had too. It’s just an old custom mud truck but definitely better than a stock build

[@tombeck2792]

In college I drove a 1974 Dodge pick-up. It had the 225ci slant six engine, 3 speed on the column

[@haroldhaas2909]

The motor is actually a big block 400-440 engine. MPC made a nice small block in the 75 Dart Sort kit that will drop in there and look great. I used it in the Little Red Truck kit to make it look semi correct. Thanks for the video and I'm looking forward to the release of this kit.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for the info!

3 years late, but yes... distributor on the front of the engine = B/RB engine
