What's the chance of my finding kits for some of these, if not all? Or maybe something close that I can do some scratch mods on.

If so, it is on eBay:

Hmm...I've seen where folks have reworked die cast, but I don't think I'm up for that right now. Would love a kit or something.
But that Certificate of Authenticity is temping...

Well, you do have the larger 24/25th scales... there will will find plenty of ill fitting ancient kits that match the rustic look you want. Or go to HO (1/87th scale) but this is hard on the eyes.

MP, move up to 1/25th scale. There is an entire universe of kits like that in that scale.

There are literally thousands of old kits out there.

Thanks Poppy, I've seen a lot of those kits but can't seem to find the really old stuff like those 1920s trucks or even construction equipment.

Cool pictures!
I have yet to find any pre 1930's Chevrolet kits. There is some diecast out there. AMT does have Ford Model Ts with van bodies.
If you go with changing a Ford T into a Chevrolet. The things to note are Chevy fenders and wood wheels are close to "T". Chevrolet chassis has four sets of leaf springs and "modern" looking rear end housing. I think the chassis is longer than Ford. The Chevrolet four cylinder engine is the same size as Ford T but has over head valves and distributor. intake manifold is on the left side and also has a down draft carb. Revell has a closed cab Model A and with cutting and adding could be made into a Chevrolet cab
I will keep checking, by chance a resin comany could doing something.
