niteowl7710 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 LHS is getting the '66 Ford in its 4x4 variant today, for anyone wanting one of those the hunt is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwell48098 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I've already build a '66 Ford 4X4 by simply dropping the '66 body on the '70 F100 4X4 chassis. Used the engine from the '66 as well. Except for the rear cab mount crossmember locastion, every thing else is a simple drop on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niteowl7710 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Amusingly some people on a FB post from a major mail order place are complaining the box art is all wrong because it's not a big jacked up 4x4 like the '70 showed. I'm presuming those folks haven't actually opened their respective '70 kits to realize the F-250 Hi-Boy on the box art is NOT what comes in the kit.

The box art illustration for the '66 seems to sit so low as to be indistinguishable from the 2wd version. Googling '66 Ford F100 4x4 turns up images of ones that sit higher, some modified certainly.

Although the built model doesn't sit a whole lot higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) The top of box art is a dissapointment, not only does it sit too low, the paint scheme and colors are extremely uncommon for this series of pickups. The art work is obviously derived from another Ford 2wd ad from the day. The built model on side cover has a higher stance and looks correct appears to have the same 15" wheels as previous kits. would have liked to see a 16" wheel option in this one. Factory photo of a '66 F 100 4x4 for those who care. Glad Moebius didn't make the mistake of showing a '66 F 250 4x4 on the cover, because the frames and beds are completely different. But again, glad this kit is out there for us to build in whatever variation ( flareside , shortbed or utility ) if we choose, couple of years ago, we had nothing in this era.

Deuces ll Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I'll take it regardless of what is shown on the box art.... I don't plan on building it box stock anyway... ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because it is a 2wd; note that there's no drive axle under the front. Another pretty pic from moebius marketing almost relating to the contents ...

True, but all they have to do is look at the side pic of Mr Goldman's excellent build to see what it will look like, just like this current one. Could be they're trolling us with the incorrect box art; hard to believe a company in this era would be that out of touch Thankfully they refrained from including this unicorn from the prototype... ... and guess where the pic came from Edited August 31, 2020 by mk11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuces ll Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Mine is out for delivery!!!... ? I also ordered another '70 4x4 for the chassis so I can do up a 4x4 service pickup.... ?
