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

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.

Pretty much the only differences between the two are the hood, grille, tailgate, and fender emblems. Same kit otherwise.

Has anyone else received parcels lately where the packing material is used bubble mailers? ??‍♂️

Rumours about reissue are apparently true! MPC-885 1972 Chevy Racer's Wedge upcoming release...

Is that in later seasons after they rebuilt it on a DeLorean?

Apparently this is actually a modified reissue of the Esci 1:24 kit. hpiguy recently posted a preview build up.
