    I have had this one since I was a kid. Even then I was disappointed in it but man, this makes me need to grab it and do something good to it!

    Wow that turned out beautiful! I still have my hot wheels, matchbox, road champs and corgi collection dating all the way back to 1965. I would love to redo the ones that need it. But most are still in top notch condition as I always took care of them.

    Hey Danny. This video really caught my attention. I have one and my brother has one of these trucks from our childhood. I have both of them sitting in front of me while I was watching this video. The 2 I have are in a lot worse shape. Mine is a green on. Half the front grill and chassis (Front quarter), the front axle & wheels, and the rear suspension piece are missing on mine. My brother's is a red one. All the chassis is there except the rear suspension piece is missing, both axles, where the front axle sits is where the chassis broke, and the window unit is missing. What's cool with my brother's, is his came with a piece that was attached to the bed and had fence like boards around the sides. those have broken off years ago, but the "liner" piece is still in the bed.
    This video has given me hope in getting these 2 beautiful trucks, from my brother's and my childhood, new life. Thank you for that. Cheers. (Alex, Idaho, USA)

  • @richardunicorn7879
    @richardunicorn7879 Před 2 lety +3

    Very cool. Who ever made it, it's a rebranded Yatming casting. You can spot the difference between the Yatming and the rebrand because the Yatming has a much more detailed gill, and the tailgate reads 'Chevrolet' on it.

    • @hellcatratcliff570

      tbh, still done better (mean original casting, by tooling) than some diecasts nowadays. but true that Dannys work makes it perfect.
