I am 71 years old and have been making models since 1955, so I've been around the block! I am big fan of your reviews and, especially, your enthusiasm. I am currently building the Lindberg '34 Ford truck as per the May, 1964 issue of Car Model (the Surfin' Wagon), but I bought the AMT reboot after seeing the wonderful job you did with the kit as the service truck. Keep up the good work!
Love the 34 PU. Absolutely stunning! I made mine into a panel truck using balsa wood and body filler as a kid. Painted it metallic root beer with white pin stripe tape.
Cool little kit. I haven't built/owned a model in 3 decades. However I've managed to acquire 60 kits or so this month. I've hit all the thrift stores around here so I've gotten kits from the 80's up to present. I've also ordered lots of 3-D printed parts and diorama pieces and will be acquiring this kit as well. Looks good 👍
Thank you for all your videos, I even enjoy your product reviews as well. Youare really good at presenting products and model reviews . Watching your videos has gotten me to restart the hobby. I have alot of unopen kits I have collected over the years.
I'm a plane and ship builder mainly. I build a car....oh, about once a decade. LOL. With that said, I really enjoy watching your review and build videos on these car and truck kits. That '34 Ford pickup looks great! I had to laugh (in a good way), when you said "4-day build". My builds take months. I'm happy if I can get three models completed in a year.
Nice review & build up Chris. This kit has a storied life span. It was 1st introduced in 1962. It was re-issued several times in the 60's/70's. When Lesney/Matchbox acquired AMT, this mold was in a machine shop being repaired/restored. Lesney moved AMT operations from Mich. to Maryland & left this mold at the machine shop. It was considered abandoned & was sold to Lindberg. When Round2 acquired Lindberg this mold came back home to AMT & has now been re-issued in this retro box art of the 1962 original issue. You did a nice job on the build up of this kit. You could (if you like) build up the 390 C.I. T-bird engine & display it on the engine stand. I always enjoy your review & build videos. Keep up the great work.
chris I (in my own opinion) believe with all the videos you've put out I think this one ranks up in the top 10 of amazingly beautiful kit that you have built......WOW !!!!!
Hello, I first saw this kit when my brother got it in 1961. It was molded in a nice red plastic. I got this kit a year or two later and it was molded in black. AMT sold it to Lindberg several years ago. Nice to see it back home with AMT. Lindberg also released it as a rack body kit. The kit has not changed but with the exception of the fuel cans. You use to get two fuel cans with it. I'm glad to see it again and with all the cool extras. I really enjoyed this build it looks great.
I think I've rewatched this build, like 4 or 5 times already since finding your channel. I just scored 1, 40% off deal at Hobby Lobby. WOO HOO!!! Can't wait to start digging in to it. I think I will be using the Chrome steelies and some spare white walls from the parts box, to put on the lowrider Cadillac that you built as well.
Another nice build Chris! Love the color scheme. I also like the green that Ford had back then along with the Ivory. Great job! Thanks as always for the inspiration!
Thank you Dave! I wouldn't rely on my color choices as factory correct though. I pick what I like and if I get close to a factory color I find it a happy result.
Thanks for the review on this kit! I was in Hobby Lobby on Friday, and had it IN MY HANDS!! So many good kits to choose from. I ultimately went with Revell's '66 Fleet side truck (for now). Awesome build, and OMG so many extra parts! The extra parts alone are worth the cost of the kit. Im really loving all the service truck builds, and your honest clan professional reviews- Keep em coming! :)
Looks great. Reminded me of the way kits used to be, but there again it is a vintage kit. Love all the extras they used to put in. AMT and Monogram were usually the best at that, But when Revell decided to do it, they usually went all out to where you could actually build 2 whole models. The last monogram I bought, had 3 complete models, with 3 versions for each. Never have built it.
So glad to know the venerable classic kit has stood up so well through so many reissues. When Lindberg bought the molds, about the only thing they changed was to include some "not the norm" tire brand. Nice build, Chris!
That is a nice build. I did one in 1969 in brown. One thing that was nice back then was that the kit could be built as a dually stakebed truck. I have 2 now in progress. One stock body in Ace almond beige with black fenders. The other is in a duplicolor dark maroon. This will be a custom truck I have several hopped up flathead engines to choose from, also a couple of Y blocks. Haven't made up my mind on that yet. And I am sure you are aware that superclean does remove the chrome. Sometimes in seconds, or it could take a couple of hours.Also sharpie ultra fine point pens do a good job for tail lights, and turn signals.
I was just checking out this kit over on Model Roundup's site.. then I turn over to RUclips and here it is being built... excellently, as usual :) Thank you!
I've built this kit twice, the first time was way back in the mid 60's. And that first kit was built, torn apart and rebuilt at least a couple of times. It was molded in red back then. The only difference I see it the tonneau cover was thinner and had stretch details in each corner. The second time I built it, it was in white, and instead of a tow truck, it came with a flat bed.
amazing work stunningly achieved. this model reflects the original spirit and character of the strong American automobile. this model is in itself a trophy .
Having just finished a stock '25 Ford Model T truck, I am loving this build as well. I made some separate loads for mine with removable plastic floors so I can change out the loads as I want. As always, thx for the show quality truck, and the inspiration. Love all the details, and color combos. Thx again Chris. God Bless you. Tom T4 out.
I consider you a pro. Also a very prolific builder i hope i can get to your level. I quit buying kits in 2014 i tried to aquire all the kits i built when i was a young man It turned out to be impossible to find quite a bit of them or they wanted so much i couldnt afford them
This is a really nice build Chris! Your color choice and subject are spot on. Thanks for the effort you put into your reviews, they really do inspire enthusiasts to build, build & built!
Haha, I love it! I just built a 1950 Chevrolet pickup 3100. And its a "Rustys rust proofing" service truck. Its a Matt dark camouflage green. I guess we'll both be rust proofing!
The finished model is a beaut! Pretty good for a kit that originally came out in 1962. I recommend using white glue for the clear parts (windows, headlamp lenses, etc.). Washes up with water and dries clear.
Super sweet build. Such a cool looking model. Your color choices & wheels are excellent. Final build is flat out WOW! Totally appreciate all the time & care you put into your builds and thanks as always for sharing.
I built one a few years ago. took some tinkering, but I managed to build it without the fenders, I channeled the entire body, and used wheels and brakes from a 40 ford coupe kit. painted it flat black red seats and accents.
My mother in law just gave me this pick up for my birthday, it will be my next build, I love it, it’s beautiful. Hope you don’t mind but I’m going to copy yours. Lol !!!
I have the last issued Lindberg version of this kit. I originally wanted to build the street rod truck, so I removed the front bumper brackets. I soon lost interest of the kit, and now I want to get back at it and build it stock. But the bad part is, the bumper brackets were cut off and were discarded. Going to figure out something and fabricate my own bumper brackets. Won't be perfect, but it's worth a shot. Lovely build you have. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours, Chris.
I have four of these trucks built ranging from street rod to full tilt gasser to street or strip and Texaco wrecker plus two more on the shelf that I haven't decided how to build them,,,highly recommend,,,buy at least two today
Hi Chris. I watched this video again as I have this kit but have not built it yet. I have slowly started involving my 12 year old son with some of my builds and he asked if we could do a father son tandem build. I also have the Foose FD100 pickup truck kit. essentially he want's t0 have two two trucks that represent him and I. Mine would be the 34 and the Foose FD100 kit Would be his. My question, Do you think if I pick up another 34 kit, would the towing rig setup for the 34 fit into the back of the Foose FD100 kit. I don't want to buy an actual wrecker as I can save the second kit parts to build a different 34 later on. What do you think?
hpiguys Workshop absolutely mate, forgot how much fun it is. Looking forward to starting this old Riviera kit that I have. Bit of a shame we don’t really see any Australian cars though
This is the same mold as the Lindberg 34 Ford 3n1, which I have. I'm swapping in the custom version of the 289V8 from the Lindberg Cougar II and going fenderless. I may pick up the AMT version too. Great vid as always Mr HPI. :)) I
Man, that is so funny, a buddy of mine and me were talking about this kit yesterday. I was curious if it was new tooling or old, and you answered it for me. I will be adding a couple of these kits to the stash. Keep up the great work and keep building.
Very nice build Chris, and a great review. I just finished the Lindberg version and was very curious to see how the AMT kit was different. I really like the two trophy trucks and the cement blocks. The AMT kit has better chrome wheels also instead of the stake bed platform but doesn't seem to have the four wide tires. It is a good fitting kit.
Omg this kit- so much plastic! Wow- so far a really beautiful kit! Im building mine as a service truck as well- not set on the colors yet...may go with black fenders and darker green or blue body. I Can't recommend this kit enough! My only nitpick is they bundled the newer sprue trees which have numbered parts, and a retro instruction manual, which makes no mention of the part number- so sometimes it's becoming a guessing game. Pay attention to those instruction manual drawings! :)
Great review Chris...I also like this truck. Great job on the build. Looks fantastic. I gotta tell you that your reviews just keep getting better and better! Keep up the great work Chris...Thanks for sharing...
I like this build. The Ivory is on spot, the wheels what red color are they? One TV screen they look burgundy . The fenders would look awesome too in a "Red " or Burgundy. Great technique and model.
I had that kit back in 1966 had for about a month then I took it outside for the small firecracker in it and blew it to pieces then gathered up the parts and try to put it back together
I have to wonder if the formulations fir Rustoleum are different back in the midwest, out here on the west coast the solvents craze the plastic and give a nasty texture. So do the Krylon paints, especially fusion. However the Krylon Matte Clear works fine. Hotshots as well. Duplicilor auto primer is good to go, but the top color doesnt. The 1K auto clear is great as well.
Hello again Chris. I was at Hobby Lobby the other day and saw this kit and fell in love with it. I want to do the service truck version as well but thinking of painting mine a different color. ( Haven't decided yet ) but I was thinking of going with a gloss gray and doing the fenders in the Gloss black and using the wire wheels and painting them red. But I have a few questions regarding what brand and color of primer should I use ? My next question is "Is the towing cable hard to install ? I did a little research online about this kit and from what I read, it told me that the towing hook would actually work. So in other words, I'd like to have mine be able to raise the hook up and down. Would something like a thick sewing thread work ?
I like the way you did your truck.looks good.I'm going to stop building .models after this in 20 20 year.time to sell every thing .time to retire sell every thing .getting old .
I am 71 years old and have been making models since 1955, so I've been around the block! I am big fan of your reviews and, especially, your enthusiasm.

I built one of these over 50 years ago, used necklace chain for the tow chain. Won a model contest with it, still have the truck, great job my friend

Thank you sir!
When I was a kid in the '70s, I thought that you had to use every decal in the kit. My cars were a little busy looking.
Hahahaha, yup! I'm guilt of that too, especially my RC cars back then. Stickers add speed and power!
You were supposed to put some on your sister's mirrors.

Enjoy Al, have fun making it your way!
how would you straighten a warped chassis frame please? I've completed my kit but really want to straighten it..
Once it's built?
You have little to no options after that.
You can TRY to soak it in hot water before you glue it all up next time.
Your spot on with Green on the engine. They sure enough used the Green for a engine color in older days.
About to start this one myself. Great build sir!
Your right, those colors are great together
That colour combination is just sweet!
Thanks Tom! I saw it online and really digged it.

nice build bro i enjoy your videos i love building models
Thanks Jeremy!

Thank you Chopper, enjoy!
Absolutely amazing build yet again Sir.
One of my favorite AMT kits was the Studebaker Avanti...
I just picked this one up today! I had to.. my name is a decal! How cool is that. Plus I really liked the cinder blocks
Cool!
Great build of the re-released 34 pickup, Chris.
Thanks man!

could you start a new playlist and show off a few of your models every week? I would enjoy watching that.
All the ones I've built are here on the channel, you can scroll up and down my channel video list and pick the ones you want to see. :)

that’s a cool 😎 little truck 👍👍👍
Thank you Richard, it sure is!
Beautiful Build 😍
Thank you, and thanks for watching the video and leaving a nice comment! Much appreciated!
I like this build. The Ivory is on spot, the wheels what red color are they? One TV screen they look burgundy . The fenders would look awesome too in a "Red " or Burgundy. Great technique and model.
Rustoleum Colonial Red on those wheels, my mistake I didn't mention it. Thanks!
Beautiful build. It looks amazing.
Thank you Dave!
I had that kit back in 1966 had for about a month then I took it outside for the small firecracker in it and blew it to pieces then gathered up the parts and try to put it back together
Frickin nice build!I really like it.👍
Thanks Hulk!
I have to wonder if the formulations fir Rustoleum are different back in the midwest, out here on the west coast the solvents craze the plastic and give a nasty texture. So do the Krylon paints, especially fusion. However the Krylon Matte Clear works fine. Hotshots as well. Duplicilor auto primer is good to go, but the top color doesnt. The 1K auto clear is great as well.
Delicious colours!
Thanks!
Love this build. I'm going to have to pick one up.
It's a great kit!
I love kits that add to the parts box!
Me too!
Hello again Chris. I was at Hobby Lobby the other day and saw this kit and fell in love with it. I want to do the service truck version as well but thinking of painting mine a different color. ( Haven't decided yet ) but I was thinking of going with a gloss gray and doing the fenders in the Gloss black and using the wire wheels and painting them red. But I have a few questions regarding what brand and color of primer should I use ? My next question is "Is the towing cable hard to install ? I did a little research online about this kit and from what I read, it told me that the towing hook would actually work. So in other words, I'd like to have mine be able to raise the hook up and down. Would something like a thick sewing thread work ?
Any primer is fine. You can use thread, that will work well.
Looks awesome! Chris
Thanks Charles!
I like the way you did your truck.looks good.I'm going to stop building .models after this in 20 20 year.time to sell every thing .time to retire sell every thing .getting old .
You talked about tinting the windows in another build how did you tint them also do you airbrush or use a brush for the future???
Hi Joseph, I use Tamiya Smoke to tint glass and I brush it on, as well as the Future.

Is this basically the same kit as the Lindberg 34 3n1? Seems like it's only missing the stake bed and that a couple extra parts were added.
Yes, same kit.
