1972 Ford F100 replica build possible
mk11 replied to gtx6970's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
That sure is a striking project, Bill. While the moeb kits of this series make a passable replica, they suffer from a kinda amateur hour development that shows some fairly obvious proportion issues. There are some 3d files available now that provide a much more accurate replica in scale; check this link: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/hobby-diy/automotive/f-100-1970 Looks like most combinations of body types are available. Chassis from the moeb 4x4, amt 4x4 and the '78 bronco could all be adapted to these. -

Nothing so rare as a day in June. Rain clouds threatened all day but kept missing us until late afternoon. Skies cleared and it's been a beautiful evening with the bonus of sun setting at about ten this time of year. A couple of smokies on the fork and a cheerful little blaze to roast 'em over.

The 65/66 Mustang shock towers were shared with the pre '66 Falcons. On an early Falcon you'll see a few inches more height above the shock tower in the side engine compartment metal. This was sectioned out to get the lower profile for the Mustang. Best part sources I can name in scale for a more accurate early Mustang engine compartment would be the trumpeter falcons and the amt '66-'69 falcons. They were incorrectly cast with the pre '66 shock towers. Trumpeter falcon also has a fairly accurate early '65 generator setup.

Moebius 1971 Lifted Ford F250 4x4 announcement
mk11 replied to Erik Solie's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Not necessarily. On the F100 4x4s, the rear track was 4" narrower than the front( same as the 2wd) as they used the '57-'72 9" diff. The F250 4x4s used the dana 60 full floating axle for the rear which matched the front track. Ford corrected the track difference on the 100/150 in '73 by using a 4" wider 9" diff. -

Basking in the warmth of the rising sun after a wee stroll doon ta tha crik first thing in the morning, enjoying the soft music created by the flow of water through the rapids. All the colors of the spectrum winking at me through the dewdrops in the grass.
