What's to know?  Probably the same service bed that is in the '65 or '66 that is out now, included in the later truck kit, with new '67 trim parts as needed...

What I'd like to see them do is offer the box separately.  It'll probably never happen, though.

Possible if they have more of these type of bed replacements, like camper body, stakebed or wrecker.

The idea behind the service bed is to sell more truck kits!  It's too bad it isn't included as an option, but that would add to an already crammed box, and raise the price.

I don't know if such a beast existed in the 60s, but they are doing a 4x4 version of the '66 also (in addition to the '70 they already did).

Me too . I’d buy several. As it is though, the ford truck kits don’t excite me enough to pry open my wallet....

Looks like this Dodge pickup has a "dualie" rear axle and either 6 or 8 lug wheels.. And wheel flares on the utility side panels.... Interesting!....

I just ordered the new '67 service pickup and a couple of other kits off eBay.... I'll post pictures of all the parts trees when it arrives... I'm going to "try" and scratch build a tandem trailer using the AMT Diamond in the Rough kit as a guide... Hope it works out and looks good....

Yeah, the Dodge should be the next Moebius subject. IMO, that's the beauty of the new kits. You can mix and match bodies. That couldn't be done with the old AMT '61-'

63 pickups. Didn't 1 ton Dodges come with the extra large front fenders?

Round 2 maybe could use the 70's D100 maybe? I'd prefer a new kit but a new body would work. Not 100% the chassis is the same across the years?
