I turned 56 on January 29th.  So what’s one do for his birthday but buy a from me to me gift!   I snagged this beauty for about $82 total.  It’s MIB no papers. Now WHY do I say this is why I don’t collect pick ups?  Because it’s so well done I now want more!  A mighty fine looking ‘58 Apache in great color!  I knew this would start something! Lol oh well ….. sorry for poor quality pictures, it’s late and on second Run n Coke! Lol

It's a beauty.  All the DM Pickups are great.  I joined the pickup club when DM had it and got a special delivery about once every 3 months.  So I have all the pickups they made and love them all.

David, I would have loved an early 50s Studebaker pickup.

Me too.  I liked it because it was different from the others. The U.S. Model Mint '52 in 1:43 is really nicely done.

Belated happy birthday Phil. I have most of the DM pickups, they are a great addition and help diversify my collection.

I only wish Trax had have made a 1/24 pickup (Australian ute) from their early Holden tooling.

They are such an important part of Australian motoring, and even cultural history. Just another of my frustrations with Trax.

Thanks for all the comments.  I’ll have to be disciplined but I know this won’t be my last! I already do own TFM 2000 Christmas pick up , 1998 ? Pick up (Cameo), FM flying A pick up ,  DM 1931?? Maroon/black Ford pU so I guess I lied lol but the Christmas Pick ups were bought as Christmas item for holidays , the flying A I bought on a FM super sale.  I think they had them for $50 !!!!  I bought three of them!  Lol and the DM 31 Ford was just too cute to pass up and it fit into my 1930s “oldies” models so…..  I’ll def add more
