Check local hobby shops, also wal-mart has a dodge l-700 model with a trailer and an old plymouth or something on the trailer for like 25 bucks.

Well that's the problem. My local WalMarts don't stock the revell semis anymore (actual steel chassis and construction, very little plastic).

Yeah I've seen this site before, I like the Mack DM 600 kit and the Pete 359, but prices are a little high.

I'm big in r/c models and haunt hobby shops where ever I go. I just went to Hub Hobbies in St.Paul and didn't find anything but a black 3rd Gen 1500 Quad matchbox Ram. Not sure who makes it, there is no names on it. I also found the same at Fleet Farm. There are a couple of Ram r/c trucks but it hard to tell what they are after the customizing.

My son has 4 2nd Gen die casts that he got back when the dealers had them in the late 90's. He won't even let me look at them now. haha He has a black dually new in the box . These were extremely limited production things available only to dealers..so the story goes. Never seen anyone with them. Never see good scale Rams at the car shows either.

Let me know if anyone finds anything.

Well was looking more on the lines of the more current cummins Ram maybe, and model rigs that come in pieces, but the good ones, not the cheap plastic only kits.
