I've only seen a couple of these in stores, and had picked up one with the tampos on it awhile back. A few weeks ago, I found THIS one, plain, no tampos. Since I don't think the diecast makers have taken my suggestion to make a plain and a tampo version , I'd almost bet this is a mistake. Anyone else seen any of these GMC pickups with no tampos on them? Jerry ![]()

It should have side tampo strikes on both sides. You have a variation or a mistake depending on your view point of collecting. |

Matchbox face left. That's the correct position for it. Can you tell if the other side has tampos? I'd love a plain brown one just like that, I wish that was a more common error as so many cars (HW mostly, but the occasional MB too) look much better when they are nice and simple. |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

Matchbox reaches new heights in ways to save money on tampo runs....just don't include them!

I have the GreenLight '75 Dodge Monaco that only has tampo on one side. Keep meaning to send it to Keith but just never seem to get around to it.

I like it! Matchbox did a number of tampo free versions of this casting back some years ago, the original release was as well, although my favorites were this Sheriff version, and the military one a year or so back, I think that was from a 5 pk though. |
