Potential Kitbash: Moebius ramp truck & AMT C-600

[BadJuju]

Has anyone researched how well the ramp bed from the new Moebius kit might fit any of the AMT C-600 chassis?  I know another alternative is to use the ramp bed from the AMT LN-8000, and the city delivery C-600, but I like the simpler look of the Moebius unit, and its leftover cab & frame would be more to my liking to use on some TBD future project.

The Mobius bed is for the light duty F-series line of trucks, not the medium/heavy duty C- or L-series trucks.  The Mobius body is too narrow and wheel well openings are way to small to fit the full size truck chassis. But with some substantial body modifications, it probably wold be possible to do anything.

 

Just my thoughts.

Thanks, A. J.  I'd wondered that.  Clearly the C-900 city box plus LN-8000 hauler kit bash is the best bet for a bigger truck, as others have done.  I've just been jazzed by the C-series recently, remembering them from my youth.  Likely I will just build the Moebius F-350 for a little over 1/3 the price of the kit bash idea.  If so, I'll likely swap on a pre-'67 cab I have on hand.  I like that style better.

Yep, the nice thing about the Mobius Fords is that you can swap cabs among all of the chassis.  And grille swaps among the fourth ('65 & '66) and fifth ('67 -'72) generation cabs allows you to build the missing models/versions that Mobius hasn't offered (yet).
