PintoKING Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Also curious; didn't Moebius is owned by Pegasus? And didn't Pegasus recently aquired Galaxie Ltd? So any news of a "new" 46-7-8 Chevrolet convertible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 When that Highboy F- 4x4 hits, I may have to have one. Cool looking trucks. I have fond memories of riding in one in Leadville Colorado in 1980. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BubbaBrown Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Want to back date the 1967 ramp truck to a 1965, can I just change the cabs ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt T. Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Yes. Here is an image of a Moebius build at a show earlier this fall.  1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on how authentic you want to be. Several changes were made to the F 350 in '67. '67 was the first year of the twin I beam and 8 lug wheels in F 350's. '65-'66 F 350's used the I beam front axle with 6 lug wheels. Also, the '65-'66 F 350 floor pan was the older higher '61-64 F 100-F250 floor pan, it was higher with inner steps. But, if these changes don't bother you, the '65-'66 F 100 cab will adapt to the '67-'72 frame nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BubbaBrown Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I was just wanting to switch the cab with interior and leave the chassis alone. Â 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just watching the 60 Minutes report on the California ports and it’s one huge log jam! GMA, Monday replied that they had moved 45 percent of the back log. I wonder how many models are in the port… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 The most obvious external change on a '61-'66 F 350's was the use of higher cut out front fenders, also front bumper sits lower and further out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Any Idea when the Highboy F-250 4x4 Kit might be available to purchase? I'd like to add it to my 2023 project list! (sarc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
