About 501 Diecast and the crew

Driven by the Hunt

We are a husband-and-wife team in our late 50s who spent years scouring shelves and websites for those hard-to-find diecast pieces. We know the frustration of missing that one specific truck or car to finish a set. That’s why we started 501 Diecast—to take the "hard" out of finding the pieces you love.

Our Mission

Our goal is simple: to gather high-quality, sought-after diecast models—with a special focus on our favorite Square Body Chevys and rugged trucks—all in one professional, easy-to-navigate shop. We aren't just selling inventory; we’re helping fellow collectors grow their passion without the headache.

Why Shop With Us?

Collector-to-Collector: We know what to look for because we collect, too.

A Personal Touch: We are a small, family-run business based in Arkansas, and we treat every order like it's going into our own collection.

Professional Service: We’ve built our site to be fast, secure, and organized so you can find what you need and get back to the hobby.

The Crew

Kitamas, CEO

Large, in charge, and full of surprises. By day, Kitamas rules the 501 Diecast headquarters with an iron paw. By night, she lets her fur down, cha-cha-ing around the office while Queen is asleep. She’s a tough boss, but she knows how to celebrate a successful inventory drop.

Bugasus (Bug), COO

Bug is the high-octane engine that keeps the team running. He zooms through the hallways like he's racing on a glowing orange track. If there’s a stray toy mouse under the couch, Bug is already on it to ensure operations never slow down.

Nosecus Rosecus (Nosey), QC

True to her name, Nosey has to investigate absolutely everything. She is a perfectionist with strict sniff-test and scratch-test standards—though she's politely reminded daily that her rigorous quality control only applies to her own toys, not the shop's pristine diecast inventory.
