Matt T. Posted June 29, 2022 Posted June 29, 2022 They’re out! Just ordered two from my online dealer of choice.
mikemodeler Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 I have heard that this kit was limited to a production run of 7,000 kits and has been oversold. In other words, if you want one, better jump on it as it might be a hot minute before they can get another run in and back in stock here. 1
Brian Austin Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Had it been mentioned there was to be a short run of this kit? This is the first I've heard of that.

I don't believe it was, but in today's market big production runs are not as common as they once were. Unless a Hobby Lobby type customer places an order, smaller runs are more economical for manufacturers. It's better to sell out and schedule a second run than to have an overrun and have to sell them to an Ollie's at or near cost.
niteowl7710 Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Dave Burkett (The Model King) paid the freight on this kit, his releases are always a more limited number than a standard Moebius kit. Wouldn't surprise me to see Moebius come back in a year or two and repackage it in with a different year - they've done that with most everything else he's paid to tool up (Slant 6, NASCAR parts, drag parts, truck utility bed, etc). 1

A slant 6 utility would be cool but that would be a dodge..
Mr mopar Posted July 4, 2022 Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Got my order in for one for now ! Does anyone have one they could show us what's in the box ? Edited July 4, 2022 by Mr mopar 1
mikemodeler Posted July 4, 2022 Posted July 4, 2022 Ordered a second one off of eBay, thinking might put one of my extra 78 Dodge cabs on it with a backdated grille and hood. 1

Mopar maniac 74 Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 I mistakenly ordered 2 of the Chevy kit. Bashing them together now to make the wedge wide enough for dual wheels and a single axle. Going to do that one as a 76 dodge with the Cushman duster kit car on it and a 73 grilled dodge with the plymouth scamp kit car on the mobius ramp truck.

IHSS Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 Just got mine opened to check out the contents. Wow! There are a lot of parts. Lots of extras as well. 2 transmissions 2 intakes 3 air cleaners 3 mirror choices. 4x4 front axle and transfer case. I don’t think I have ever seen this many parts in one box. 1
IHSS Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 Here’s a few shots of some of the kit. The cab and related parts seem pretty standard for this series so I left them out. 2
IHSS Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 Looks like there might be a fourth air cleaner. Possibly an oil bath kinda looks like it but I could be wrong. Oh and here’s a shot of the direction I’m going with it. 2

Very dooable, remember pull that fender back, that MC wrecker kit was based on an existing shortbed pickup wheelbase, not a longer 1 ton wheelbase. Edited July 6, 2022 by leafsprings
deuces wild Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 Very cool! ?? Can't wait to see the first work in progress build....?? 1
Luc Janssens Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 So the 4x4 front axle is a extra piece?! Hmm.... 1
deuces wild Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 One guy I deal with on ebay already sold 240 of these kits... WoW!....?

Rumor has it that Moebius has a wrecker planned for the 4x4 F-350 Highboy kit coming out later this year, supposed to have a correct Holmes 440 bed. That should build up nicely! 2
iamsuperdan Posted July 7, 2022 Posted July 7, 2022 Mine's on order. Will see how long it takes to get it here. 1
