Chuck Most Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 The Moebius 67 Ford service truck comes with door decals for a business called Mercury Electric. Morgan Automotive Detail makes a Mercury conversion set for the '65/6 F-100. So I combined these things and thought what if this Mercury Electric built an electric Mercury shop truck? Since I'd borrowed the 4x4 chassis from the '66 long bed kit for another project, I made a new chassis so the truck would have an "aired out" stance. The electric drive motor is rear mounted and is pretty much scratch built, along with the battery boxes and air tanks. The air suspension is controlled by a Play Station controller, which came from an AMT Rides Magazine kit. I used some old Pegasus Center Line wheels, but narrowed them to fit the Toyo Proxes tires from a Revell tuner. The paint is Krylon- I was going for a look similar to my father's '66 F250 Custom Cab Camper Special. The colors on this were basically a test for a future replica of that one. I used the six-cylinder "gear and lightning bolt" hood medallion, to carry the electric theme. Under the hood you'll find a stereo amp and the air tank for the front airbags in lieu of an engine. I went relatively easy on the rust and just tried for a general worn looking appearance. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve H Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Hi Chuck, yet another awesome build sir. Love the idea, and as always, you executed perfectly. Those colours are perfect on that truck, reminds me of my favourite colour combo for a 56 Chev Bel air. I agree with the others that the wind farm in the background is a nice touch. Keep ‘me coming!
