1972 Ford F100 4x4

[Chuck Most]

This started out with the Moebius '72 Sport Custom F100. I used the front axle, springs, and swing arms from the AMT '78 F350, along with that kit's divorced transfer case. I used the wheels and tires from Revell's Build and Play Jeep Wrangler, in hindsight I wish I'd at least upgraded the wheels. The engine is the big block (backed by the C6 auto) from the '71 kit... in fact, I just switched engines with this and the '71 I posted earlier. The engine uses old machined aluminum valve covers from Arrowhead. It was also adorned with a prewired distributor from MAD.  I upgraded the truck from a Sport Custom to a Ranger XLT using side spears (cut down for the bed sides obviously), tailgate, and decals from the '71. I also pirated some bed rails from the Revell '77 GMC. 

But, other than that? Totally box stock. 

I may lift it just a tad more, and foil the bead locks... or maybe try out one of those Molotov chrome pens on them. Other than that, I'm actually pretty happy with how this one came out. That's a pretty rare outcome for my projects anymore.

cool, just needs to go out and get a little dirty now!

Looks good Chuck. I agree needs  to go up a little bit, no room for bumps or a load.

Definitely captures the flavor 

I agree with a little extra wheel detailing and lift but it's a great clean build.

Really kool Chuck, great build... been wanting to do a lifted Ford myself, just haven't jumped in and started it yet!!!!

[disabled modeler]

Very nice Chuck..!

[mikemodeler]

What, no faded paint or rust? Nice job Chuck, love the color and stance, a little more wheel travel room is definitely needed. I need to get my rear in gear on my 4x4 conversion.

Wasn't expecting clean and rust free but I like it anyway!

Looks great

Very nice build up.  I like the color and I really like the engine.  the headers look great, and I'm scratching my head on the windshield washer cap.  Is it bare metal foil?
