AMT Ford C600 Chassis questions

[Kiwi_Bloke]

Hi there,

I am looking for help with the dimensions for the Ford C600 chassis, from the stakesides or Hostess Cakes kits. The plan is to build a COE car transporter for the '40 sedan delivery. The Jimmy Flintstone COE Ford is a crappy molding but its what I have to work with. Rather than trying to scratch a chassis and not wanting to "kerbside" it I am looking for a donor kit to go under it. I would like to know the length of the chassis and if anyone has them some phots of it as well please.

Thanks in advance.

Keep in mind that the JF Ford cab fenders are the width as the standard F100 pickup, and not the medium duty C series.  Notice the fender width difference in these two. Dropping the JF cab on either the AMT C or L series chassis would put the wheels/tire outside the fender openings.   You can widen the fenders by carefully cutting them off, and use .250 width  Evergreen strip to widen them.

 

 

 

Here's a Ford COE that I built from the Monogram '55 Ford F100 back in the '80's doing just that.  It sits on a Ford L-series chassis

 

Hope this provides a little more insight.
