AMT C series question?

[Ralph Henderson]

Hey Folks.  I have a couple projects I am going to use the AMT C600 etc for.

Could one of you fine folks tell me what wheelbase is represented from the 3 available kits??

I was introduced to a C-800 in the late 80's when I worked for Suburban Propane, wish I had some pics..

Long flatbed with a knuckle boom behind the cab for moving residential propane tanks.

429 factory propane carb'd, 5 speed, two speed rear..

Fun to drive, drove it all over No Calif and western Nevada..

a quicky shot of one of the potential projects..

The factory wheelbase for the C series has been constant thru the decades 99" 111" 135" 153" 175". All kits are technically C 900's, why AMT molded 800 into the emblems and why they  market some of these kits as C 600 is strange. Hopefully the kats at AMT can explain what happened someday. The tractor version was the 111". the stake is 135"  the van body,  153" .

Thanks Tommy, That helps a lot.  Have to pick up a van body one. That'll get me close enough to do the above transporter.  My best measurements show it to be a 175" w.b.
