mod3l Lover Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 This looks to be a very welcome release! IMHO!?!

Casey429 Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 I'll need a couple of each for sure. I've yet to build any of the other Moebius Ford trucks straight out of the box, and these will just add to the parts-swapping pool.
mod3l Lover Posted March 19, 2019 Author Posted March 19, 2019 I could see a few 4x4 `66 flareside pick ups showing up before too long for sure!?! And I'm hoping that a bed will follow of the standard type, or non-flareside, or whatever! The future is looking bright, I think for sure!! David S.

Stick with them, and I suspect that you will see most or all of those (or at least the components to kitbash 'em together) eventually.....but it may be a few years.....and (of course) as long as each of the new kits sell well when they are introduced.....TIM
thatz4u Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) was hoping for a V-8, not an inline 6, oh well UPDATE: found this on the Pegasus homepage $35 ................ Edited March 25, 2019 by thatz4u
leafsprings Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) This is the one I've been waiting for, the longbed styleside! Hopefully, it is the longbed like the photo depicts. It appears to be taken from a Ford ad, which practically always used Custom Cab longbeds, but the color was changed from Marlin Blue to Tropical Turquiose. But, Moebius does have a history of using box art that doesn't match reality. Edited March 27, 2019 by leafsprings
thatz4u Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Just revisited the Pegasus homepage, the Styleside is listed as coming soon, & price is $35.99, no other info as yet. I hope it is a short bed version.... Not listed on the Mobius homepage as of today... Edited March 26, 2019 by thatz4u

MJStyline Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Finally... an opportunity to build my old 1:1. Emphasis on build vs. remain in shrink wrap...
Mr. Metallic Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 According to Tom Carter (Spotlight Hobbies/Hobby Heaven) these should be available mid-May

gotnitro? Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Better buy one before Ford issues a recall on them like all their other road traffic .
thatz4u Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) Moebius says within a couple of weeks, late April? May?......already got the $$$$ saved up!!! Edited March 29, 2019 by thatz4u

thatz4u Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 looks like a lot of parts from the 69-72 F-100 kits, I have a built up frame awaiting the short Styleside.......
mk11 Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 Good revue. Hope the '71 ranger tailgate at 3:06 isn't being recycled for the '65/'66 mike

Chris does a great job with the reviews. Can’t wait to see what is actually going to be included with the service truck. I do believe they can be pre ordered on model roundups website. I pre ordered the 65 Dyno Don comet. I’m still undecided on the truck kit, as I was disappointed with the 70 4x4 kit. Now that Fireball makes the conversion kit, it’s hard to find a 4x4 kit that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. I really have to start buying TWO of everything anymore.
leafsprings Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Thanks for posting revue. Very impressed with the quality of pieces and way it came together. He did mention possibilities of the creation of a F 200 and F 300, meaning F 250 F 350 . The F 250 would be a very easy do when the standard 8' bed is issued ( definitely will buy several of this issue Moebius ), but the F 350 would require much more work. Ford kept the old school straight front axle and leaf springs for '65 and '66 F 350's, also front fenders have a larger cut out wheel opening, used '63 style emblems, and 6 lug wheels..
