Toy Replica

Can anyone point me in the direction of a small diecast replica of my truck? I've always had replica's of my truck pulling a replica of my boat sitting on my desk at work. (I'm a teacher) Well, my students are constantly on me to replace the 'old' truck on my desk with a version of the new one.

thanks,
daniel

mmmm? I don't know. I guess about the typical matchbox car scale, whatever that is.

I can't find one anywhere...maybe I'm just not looking in the right place, but no one online seems to have a 2004 diecast 2500....unless you want it slammed with 24" wheels .... no thanks.

Where do you get the die cast with the diesel? One with stacks and a smoke button would be nice.

Bubba, that looks great. Do they sell a smaller scale version & how did you paint it?

No, that's the only sixe they have. And I just went to the local dealership parts department and bought a can of spray paint using my paint code for the truck. Took everything apart and painted it all.

That's cool. I've never seen a Ram replica before. Has anyone found a 2nd gen truck yet? I'd love one for my collection.

Do they really make one that has a smoke button?
That would be really cool to have a little truck, even 1/25 scale that would billow out lots of black smoke.
The last thing I had that would smoke was my old Lionel train and I had to squeeze little capsuels of smokey stuff in the stack.

I picked up a diecast of my truck @ wally world. Only problem is its white. I thought about painting it. It came from John Deere, 3 pieces, truck, tralier and a JD tractor. You lift the hood and you can see the it has a CTD.
