There is a very interesting story about this model kit. The kit was 1st issued by AMT in 1962 in box art like the new kit that you showed. It was re-issued several times by AMT. In the mid 70's Matchbox / Lesney purchased AMT. They moved kit production to Baltimore MD from the Detroit MI area. The mold for this kit was being refurbished during this time & was left behind at a machine shop. Years later, someone working at Lindberg knew where the molds were & purchased them from the machine shop (the molds were considered being abandoned by AMT) . Then the kit was issued by Lindberg. Years after all of this, Round2 the parent company of Polar lights, AMT, MPC & other hobby brands purchased Lindberg. Now the 34 Ford P/U has been re=issued under the AMT banner again. The chrome V-8 in this kit represents a 390 C.I. , 3- 2 barrel carb Ford/ T-bird engine.

It's a good build, I enjoyed it, lotta stuff you can do with it! Thanks for asking me to do an overview of it, I enjoyed doing it, I hope it had answered any questions you had of it. I look forward to seeing your build. (Your videos wouldn't let me get the link to share in my description)

You know I have been a police officer for 25 years and based on my experience in observations and detection, I feel you need some more models in you room! At least that is the word on the streets. 😎

Nice! I have a couple if these kits in my stash too. I am going to install the custom engine from the Lindberg Cougar II in mine. I think the 34 Pickup shares the chrome 390 motor with the Lindberg/AMT '25 5 Window?

Thank you. It's a good kit, looks great when it's done. Seen online tons of different ways to build it and they all look great! I don't know the answer to the engine question about the motor from the '25.
