60's pickup truck kit availability

I need some kind of a 1960’s pickup suitable to pull a trailer with a Can Am car. Are there any likely kits still available? I’m not seeing anything, but maybe I’m not looking in the right places.

(I can’t use a 1956 Ford beater for this.) :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Rick

There certainly not too many:

And don’t forget that some cars had pretty good towing capabilities:

That AMT 60 custom fleetside is a nice kit. It shows up on evilbay from time to time.

I don’t think any of these are currently being made but you can usually find them on ebay or on a dusty shelf in the occasional hobby shop.

AMT / Ertl 1957 Chevrolet Cameo, you can use the stepside bed from the 55 kit if you want that style bed.

AMT / Ertl 1960 Chevrolet Fleetside

Revell 1964 / 1965 Chevrolet, fleetside and stepside available

AMT / Ertl 1967 GMC stepside

AMT / Ertl 1972 Chevrolet or GMC fleetside.

There has been a '60 Ford kit but it is not easy to find and usually comes with a high price.
