Hawkwrench;

  Your are going to have to build your own by piecing together parts from several sources. First you will need to find the old AMT Dodge Lil Red Truck, for the cab, it you want it totally correct you will the correct grill, a resin version is ocassionally listed on ebay. The backend (service compartment) can be orderd from Spaulding Trading and Shipping www.stsmodeling.com, they also sell some really nice photo etched latches. And finally the proper decals can be purchased from jbot decals www.jbot.ca. Then all you need to do is build a frame and put it all together. I have obtained all these parts myself and have worked on it a bit, the frame/susupension is the hold up for me right now, the cab and service bed are in primer. My typical project takes 2 years of on and off work............

I also have the first 2 seasons on DVD.

Spaulding no longer carries those nice latches. You will have to order them directly from Kit Form Services. They are well worth it though plus you get 20 round and 20 square for very little $$.

 Everything else though is right one the money. Look Out Model sused to have the grill but thier site is apprently 10-7.

You can find the grills on ebay occasionally from a seller Grumpy Denise.
