Model King will have a '69 short box version out this year. I believe this truck is very close to that. Would be real awesome if someone would do the decals for this:

FORD%201967%20F-100%20HOLMAN-MOODY%20SHO

1967 F-100 Holman Moody Shop Truck -

Very original 1967 F-100 Ranger with some new updates, this truck was purchased new from Winebarger Motor Company in Elkin, NC in August 1967.

This Ranger was ordered with a 352 2v with 3-speed on the column, Wimbledon white paint, and red interior. The truck is still mostly original inside and out, and wears all of its original chrome. This truck can be driven anywhere with no worries. The truck has nice patina and the hand-lettered Holman Moody logos really make this truck pop. The glovebox was signed by Lee Holman.

The grill is different than a 69 and seat pattern also. I'm not sure if 352 cu was available in a 69. The decals might be found on some already available decal sheets. Would be a neat project.

Neato! Yeah, I think if you peruse NASCAR & Drag decals you can find all of those markings. In 1/25 I'd go one step further and put some wide HM steel wheels & Firestones under the corners!

So very close! If I find the decals, I may build it up grill as is.

I am waiting for these trucks to come out. Dad had a 67 F150 with a 352, man that had the power. Loads of stone and wood never bothered it. Light blue . 67 was an odd year for the front brakes I do remember ,many were changed over to 68 brakes up front.

67 was an odd year...

... for a few things ;)

There's close to a dozen details that distinguish these from the rest of its '68 - '72 brothers. Stuff like door handles, trim, heater controls, wiring, etc

Where can we get the chrome spider caps from. I saw them once but I'm having a grey moment and can't remember.
