Off the top of my head, two good ones in my stash are the Toyota Celsior from Arii, and the old standby - the Monogram Snap Tite kit of the Chevy Police Car.

You can see
Here a bunch of the Arii cars Rob mentioned.. plus some Aoshima stuff. The problem with these is that they have right side steering.. and you have to keep in mind that you can't use them with any 1/35 scale cars. I put one of the Arii cars next to MENG's pickup and it dwarfed it.. so you have to keep it all 1/32 together. But other than that, the Arii cars are nice easy builds.. I have a bunch of them.. and they're only like $7 or so.

Hi,
just check Evil-Bay for "monogram" and "1:32".
The USA site of this platform offers different Pick-Ups and normal modern cars.
Right now there's an interesting variety of different Cars in 1:32 available (I've just checked...)
Cheers

Somewhere in my "built as a kid" box I've got a 1/32 revell Volkswagen pickup, a Datsun pickup from either revell or monogram and a converted mack fire truck that I made into a box van (not very well lol).
I'll try and find them to snap a few photos.

Some New Ray diecast stuff is all somewhere around 1/32 to 1/34 scale I know I checked the Extended cab Ford pickup against factory dimensions & it was pretty close.
