After several failed attempts (at which I did get other AW castings from this release), I finally scored an AW '73 C10 stepside in red & white at Walmart on West 11th in Eugene, OR last month. Due to the dodgy-looking tampos on the whitewall tires, I turned the tires inside out, and may eventually paint the interior in this one red, maybe even make a papercraft camper shell in Evan Designs Model Builder to add a little something to the design.
AW may want to contemplate putting period-correct tire company markings (such as Firestone Discoverer, Bridgestone Desert Dueler, Kelly-Springfield Golden Sonic 78, Goodyear Suburbanite and Hi-Miler Xtra Grip, BF Goodrich Land Terrain, General Grabber, etc.) on their truck tires in the future, now that they've started putting Vogue Tyre gold-line whitewalls and white-letter Goodyear Wide Ovals on some of their passenger cars.

The JL 1968 Impala with the "collector tin" (yawn) is $12.99 at my Hobby Lobby! 40% off a Highway Robbery makes it an "Off Ramp Robbery"
