Diecast Bullnose model?

Hi,

Is there any manufacturer that makes a die cast model of our trucks?

Thx!

I don't know of one, but maybe others do. I'll sit back and watch to see what they say.

I keep an eye out for things like this and I see a Bronco every now and then come up.

I did come across the remote control truck the other day and thought it was pretty neat but a bit pricey to sit on a shelf

Hot Wheels made a Bronco and Matchbox made a crew cab 1992-96. Maybe they can be spliced together?

Thank you for the suggestions. I do have the one you linked above as my keychain.

I was hoping for something bigger, say 1:24 or even a little larger.

FWIW it's very easy to modify these. You can put better looking wheels and tires on them with almost no effort, either off a different model or grab some off ebay.
