Jim B Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Model Car Garage makes a P/E set for the Moebius 1967-72 Ford F-100: If they make a set for the 1966, maybe they could include the Mercury badging; or an entirely different set specifically for the M-100.

That's a cool set. Mercury stuff should be do-able. (Is that a word?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk11 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) Over on the spotlight forum, Steve A makes the best set of 67/68 Merc decals I've seen yet. For the '65/'66 Mercs, all that would be needed would be the fender name plates... as the front letters and tailgate letters are the same size from '65-'68. Ford merely added extra tabs to the '65/'66 Ford letter piece to make it work on the Mercs. If the Merc letters were to be done in photoetch, it might be a good idea to include the '62-'64 and '65-'68 front letters, the '65/'66 side nameplates and the '63/'64/'67/'68 cowl/hood plates (same design). Maybe even include the hood and tailgate letters from the fifties Mercs as well.

I placed my order within a couple of hours of him posting this on his website and he told me it was going to be three weeks minimum before he was going to ship. Good thing is he communicates with his customers and his product never disappoints. I got my set today...looks great at first glance.

Bucky Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I didn't realize there was a Ranger option available for '66: Bucket seats and console were available options. More good stuff for the aftermarket to make for these kits! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I got my F-250 parts from Joseph today as well. Awesome accuracy and quality! Getting another full set when he starts making them again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those side emblems are the same for 67/68 and are also used on the 63/64, attached to the hood. The mercury lettering is black for 67/68 and red for 63/64. The decals look like they may have improved from the first set of his that I saw I believe they were made for the '67 used for pulling Elliot's racecar. mike Edited November 16, 2018 by mk11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafsprings Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) Real trucks have full floating axles! We are very fortunate to have quality aftermarket vendors like Fireball!

The door panels and steering wheel were just the standard custom cab parts. The only external identification is the insert that says "Ranger" instead of "Twin I Beam". That could be done with a decal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan White Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Can't believe it's been almost two years since this kit was released! I finally decided to pick up the F100 4x4 kit for myself and am looking to get the F250 conversion when Joseph starts taking orders for it again. May I say WOW to the instructions for this kit, they blow most of the ones I've seen out of the water!

62SY4 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Any discussion on this '67 service truck? I find it interesting that they keep offering F100 service bodies. Wonder how many '67 only details are accurate? https://internethobbies.com/collections/moebius-model-cars/products/moebius-model-cars-1-25-1967-ford-f100-service-bed-pickup-truck-kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If memory serves me correct, there are to be several variations under consideration including a wrecker bed for this series of Ford trucks.
