looks spiffy enough for the asking price

I wish someone would manufacture a B3 series with the correct rounded rear fenders.

Didn't Dodge do that already.......ok...will go stand in the corner a bit, but first, a refill of my coffee.

Yes they did, and I have one

 

But it doesn't fit on my fire place mantel.....

ah, you need a bigger fire place now.....but yes, I do get it as I like to collect a model of the vehicles I have....sometimes, it is not that easy for sure.

1:87 scale, that's 'hella mini size' (in the parlance of Nor-Cal).

Would 1:87 be considered HO sized?

 

[Plymouthy Adams]

as 1/87 is HO scale for train...then it only goes to say it would be for anything else that would make a scale rail setting/display

green B1 in the works

 

[ggdad1951]

maybe a few other B3/4 owners can chime in with a request to make those years?  I dropped them an email inquiry about doing so.

Did anyone notice the wheels are large 6-lug split rims? Also, the description says "assembled in Los Angeles and Stockton, California and Warren, Michigan." San Leandro is over 62 miles away from Stockton. How dare they get such minor details wrong ?.

Just got done ordering a few, the hood ornament looks a little oversized compared to the rest of the truck, maybe it's just the way the picture was taken?

as small as it is...scale is sometimes sacrificed I think.

Yes you're probably right it's actually just Matchbox size, I'll be happy to add to my collection though.
