I'm not sure how far along they are on the tooling but I'd have to imagine they wouldn't necessarily need four entirely unique complete cab tools for each configuration. One main tool for the cab itself, an insert for the big vs small window, and another for the '67-68 fenders vs '69-72 ones would seem a possibility. With the sheer number of options for kits they could produce the extra tooling costs could be justified. A modern tool of this generation of trucks has a huge market. Just look how AMT has managed to milk the ancient annuals based one for decades.

Well, the man from Moebius shared what they have worked on so far, maybe this detailed information will help them figure out how to maximize without compromise?

I'm hopeful that this will yield a variety of kits in drivetrains, body configurations and options.

Hi Erik,

I have a few pictures.... this is not my '69 Blazer (don't get you going about adding those), also to '72, the leading edge of the hood is more vertical, and this still has the Bowtie (which IMO should be a separate chrome part).  So the fenders are the same.  His bumper splash pan appears to be bare aluminum.

My '68 ('67 too) have the codeword "Sloped Hood".  Separate letters, photo-etch opportunity, no Bowtie.  Mine still has the factory "White Face" in the grill, painted bumper splash pan.  Side trim changed too, mine goes over the wheel.  Just doing all the badges will delay it another year. 😉

Hi Kurt

All your knowledge of is gratefully noted.

Ahead of the release, could you not consider writing something a little longer about these pickups ?
