Are these beds made from the old AAM molds? I was just paging through a '96 issue of SAE and saw an announcemnet that All American Models had cast a Dodge shortbox for use with the MPC Lil Red and Warlock kits.

Nope I spoke to Don himself on the phone,and he told me how he made the master,so it should be perfect!Plus the all the grills,and wheel covers ,Us Dodge Truck fans will be happy!

I looked at the site but one question is a sweptline a shortbox?

Sweptline = smooth bed sides, like so:

Utiline = separate fenders and narrower bed, like so:

I believe The Modelhaus' bed is a 6-1/2 foot bed, which makes it a shortbox. A longbox would be eight feet long.
