Chuck Most Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 This is the Moebius 65 kit done up to resemble an old junk man's truck. It has a 66 grille, wheels, tires and suspension from the 67 ramp truck, the power brake booster and 1970s steering wheel are extras from the kit. The fender extensions, gantry, and chain block are scratch built. The engine is a 428 Cobra Jet because why not. It's the Moebius bottom end and front cover with AMT 68 Shelby parts up top. The fuel tank is removed from behind the seat and replaced with dual frame mounted tanks. Those, the 8 bolt wheels, independent front suspension, dual chamber brake master cylinder, and "late model" steering wheel are there to indicate the 66 cab sits on a newer frame. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Like the way you do the realistic looking finishes on these old work trucks. Great details on the different components on the model.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Another beauty Chuck! Surprised there isn't more rust and rot, definitely weathered and dig those different colored panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Very Nice, Chuck. You have a real talent for building 'beaters' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Oh, back in the days when wrecking yards were full of clean straight sheet metal and running factory high performance engines 🤩 . Rex looks like he took advantage of the situation. Been wanting to stretch the '60 F 100 bed to 9 ft. to build a period brand new '65-'66 F 350 pickup. Finding 6 lug 19.5" ( non dual type) wheels would be an issue though.

I know there were resin kits at one time but naturally I missed them before they turned into unobtainium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
