any word on the Dump or Tow Trucks, i'm assuming not till 2023

Terry, it is my understanding that such projects are being looked at, but I didn't get a clear read as to what their actual status might be.  I think it would be safe to say that Moebius is looking at, and will eventually produce, a number of other body derivatives based on their 1965-66 and 1967-72 Ford truck tooling.  As long as the new kit variations based on that tooling set continue to sell well, that is. 

Best...TIM

Want to back date the 1967 ramp truck to a 1965, can I just change the cabs ?

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.

Great info! Thanks.

The photo of the Moebius F-350 shows eight lug wheels. I wonder if they made the I-beam with leafs or left the twin I-beams with coils?

Okay!  These are seriously cool!

Hoping they receive their shipment on time. 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…
