ZTony8 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I noticed an extra front axle(with poseable steering) on the parts tree of the R/M '41/'43 Willys pickup and it got me wondering- What other kit shared that chassis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Most likely it wasn't a different kit, but rather a different version of that same Willys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Whoops! Didn't notice the Pick Up part! I believe that some of the parts trees where also shared with the Henry J and the Austin Gasser Edited July 21, 2015 by Daddyfink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark72JPS Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 If I remember correctly, the steering axle was in the original kit and the non-steering, lowered axle was added in the Hot Rod series release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Nemanic Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Most MPC MoPar B body kits shared an almost identical chassis pan. The original 65 Coronet (molded by MPC but sold by AMT) has a pan almost the same as the 67-70 Charger annuals and even the Dukes of Hazard and 70 Coronet. I don't have too many B boy variations, but I know that these are almost the same. The AMT 65 Coronet has full rear wheel wells and the front sub-frame has the wrong shape, but everything else seems the same. I don't know when MPC took off the wheel wells or corrected the front, but I don't think it took too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
