Woohoo!

All your questions are answered in my article. ? https://www.sprue.xyz/articles/amt_mpc_action_line

Can't wait! ?

Moebius has held a GM license before/still, development could have already happened. ?‍♂️

The A26 engine currently offered by Navistar is a MAN derivative, too.

Yes, 5-speed Getrag. The 4-speed was the SM465. It was so much taller than the Getrag that it needed to have an extra trim piece on the floor to cover it!

Not only that, the transmission in the kit is the oddball Getrag transmission that was offered at first.

Recent trawl of Stevens International shows: AMT-1229 1/25 1977 Ford Surfer Van $32.95 AMT-1251 1/25 1953 Studebaker Starliner Car in Collectible Tin $39.99 AMT-1252 1/25 USA-1 Chevy Silverado Monster Truck $35.95

Iron Duke would be the 2.5L I4; the GM 122 (from the Cavalier) would be the 2.0L. Wiki says it was in the S-10... ?‍♂️

What about the engine from the MPC Cavalier?

I have posted this article on my website and have tweaked the article some. I can't edit the original post anymore, so here's a link: https://www.sprue.xyz/articles/revell_ford_trucks ?

I have moved my website and apparently can no longer edit the original post. Here's the new link: https://www.sprue.xyz/articles/mpc_dodge_dw ?

The panels may have been updated for the Fire Fighter/Pumpin' Iron kits. I'll check mine.

Come on 1:32 scale trucks! ?

On my Freightliner Cascadia it has a separate tank between the battery box and the fuel tank in the driver's side. Most fueling stations have bulk DEF/AdBlue pumps built in to the diesel pumps. The pricing is around the same per unit as the diesel these days. I don't know of any kits that come with a DEF tank, however I know KFS offers them.

Those bars are usually used in trailers that will be lifted from the sides to put on rail cars.

Heated trailers have those holes, too. The tank is mounted a little bit farther in so the skirt can work properly. The other aerodynamic feature I see on trailers is a big plastic spoiler-looking thing underneath in front of the wheels.

Side skirts on van trailers have become so common now that to not have them would be a special order. Combined with the tails gives an improvement in fuel economy when deployed. My company only has the skirts, though.

Eaton Fuller transmissions have been the standard for years and wouldn't have changed much externally since that kit was made. They're not synchronized and popular variations are 7, 9, 10, 13, 15, and 18 forward gears.
