Mel, Yes there a bunch on ebay listed, but they are all Hotwheels and other
than the basic Divco nose shape, are otherwise not suitable. I have one of
these and my plan was to cut it up and make a new body out of styrene and
putty, saving just the cab front and rounded hood. The wheels need replacing
also. Unfortunately, its not high on my modeling priority list, and my wish is
for one of the Diecast companies to make an accurate one in 1:64th.
I've even been tempted to buy one in 1:43rd scale and use it a pattern to
scale down and make one out of resin.
