01blueedge Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 A guy on one of the Facebook pages is making crew cabs and corrected long beds for the 73-79 trucks. The Facebook page is 1973-1979 ford pickup scale replica group. Here's a pic of the cab and bed side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Nice, you'd think he would have corrected the windshield though. Any word on what this conversion kit is running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01blueedge Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 24+6 shipping on the cab. He is still in the process of making interior and other parts I'm not sure what the price on that would be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impcon Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 That looks pretty clean - aside from the aforementioned windshield error. Maybe it's a genetic flaw in those models.. But the cab looks nice otherwise. Now someone needs to do a Supercab based on that body style... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Looks good...may have to get one. Always liked the crew cabs of that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impcon Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Now THAT would be a good one. We have a 1:1 '77 Ranger F150 . We bought it in 1987 with 106,000 miles exactly on the odometer and today, it has close to 300.000 miles onit. It is the smoothest riding and most comfortable truck imaginable and it has served us faitfully. It's been parked for a few years now but will be recomissioned late this year or early next year and reinstated as a daily driver. For sure I'll get at least one of those.

Chuck Most Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 He is in the process of mastering a super cab and it should be available soon And, going by what he is saying, that might have a corrected windshield opening. He's aware of that quirk in the original AMT kit, and has plans to work the correction into future versions of the cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailer Trash Kustomz Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 The casters name is Greg van sickle and he's also working up a centurion. For those that aren't familiar with it, the centurion is an excursion type vehicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impcon Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Do you have an URL so we can look at his page and contact him to order? Speaking for myself, I'm especially interested in a Suer Cab when it is ready and I know someone else who will want one as well....I don't do Facebook - hate the thing and refuse to go on it - but I;d like to contact the man.

I think some of them where chevy now it makes sense about why alot of the fenders look like chevy fenders so were the ones in the amt tough truck somewhat correct for that year of truck i think i read somewhere its a 71 but not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneckrodder Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 What he said. Ford did not make a factory dually pickup until 1980. hmm i wonder why dually's must have not been very popular as nothing but work trucks back then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 hmm i wonder why dually's must have not been very popular as nothing but work trucks back then 5th wheel travel trailers must have been uncommon in the '70s and before...I know in the '80s I saw a lot of duallie pickups towing them. I've seen a couple '73-79 Ford duallies in 1:1, and they had add-on fender extensions like the Dodge duallies had back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk11 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) What he said. Ford did not make a factory dually pickup until 1980. ...'Ford did not make a factory dually pickup- with a box- until 1980'... Here's a pic I took of a '72 wearing '87-'97 fenders... Is there a link to that crewcab/modified box vendor for the non-facebook folk? mike Edited August 7, 2014 by mk11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneckrodder Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Im not sure if there is a link i can get in touch and see if he is on the forum or if he would join Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 ...'Ford did not make a factory dually pickup- with a box- until 1980'... Not a pickup if it doesn't have a box. I suppose I should clarify... Ford didn't make a dually pickup (with a box ) in the modern era until 1980- you could order dual rear wheels on the heavier-duty Ford pickups in the '30's, but they were pretty rare and Ford didn't offer the option for very long.
