Chuck Most Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 This started out with the Moebius '72 Sport Custom F100. I used the front axle, springs, and swing arms from the AMT '78 F350, along with that kit's divorced transfer case. I used the wheels and tires from Revell's Build and Play Jeep Wrangler, in hindsight I wish I'd at least upgraded the wheels. The engine is the big block (backed by the C6 auto) from the '71 kit... in fact, I just switched engines with this and the '71 I posted earlier. The engine uses old machined aluminum valve covers from Arrowhead. It was also adorned with a prewired distributor from MAD. I upgraded the truck from a Sport Custom to a Ranger XLT using side spears (cut down for the bed sides obviously), tailgate, and decals from the '71. I also pirated some bed rails from the Revell '77 GMC. But, other than that? Totally box stock. I may lift it just a tad more, and foil the bead locks... or maybe try out one of those Molotov chrome pens on them. Other than that, I'm actually pretty happy with how this one came out. That's a pretty rare outcome for my projects anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Looks good Chuck. I agree needs to go up a little bit, no room for bumps or a load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk11 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Definitely captures the flavor I agree with a little extra wheel detailing and lift but it's a great clean build. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 What, no faded paint or rust? Nice job Chuck, love the color and stance, a little more wheel travel room is definitely needed. I need to get my rear in gear on my 4x4 conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthsideous Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Very nice build up. I like the color and I really like the engine. the headers look great, and I'm scratching my head on the windshield washer cap. Is it bare metal foil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
