Oxford Diecast Chevrolet Stepside Pick Up 1965 Light Blue and White 1:87 Scale

If you were going to have a pickup in the 1960s, it had to be a Chevy - the ultimate 'UT' conjuring up a picture of a trailer load of all sorts of stuff driving along unmade roads towards your homestead, leaving a cloud of dust behind you! Our model of the 1965 Chevy Pickup is registered in Arkansas 'The Land of Opportunity' and is based on the 10 (1/2 ton) version. Chevrolet had introduced the fendered Stepside truck in 1960 and it was produced at their Pontiac plant in Michigan until 1966. Special innovative features included a drop-centre ladder frame allowing the cab to sit lower and an independent suspension to give a smoother ride. Modifications in 1965 included air conditioning, a 220 hp engine and a new front grille.
