Rob Hall Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 THe AMT is a'79 F-series, the Monogram an '80-81.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagoneer81 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) If you mean 'what year the trucks are, the Bigfoot is a 1979. Last year for that body style and the only year Ford used square headlights on that style truck. The Krusher is an early '80's model, that's the best I can do with that one because I don't know all the styling clues for that style truck. *EDIT* Rob posted at the same time I did... Sorry about the redundant response... Edited February 20, 2012 by Wagoneer81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 If you mean 'year of release' for the kits, IIRC, it was about 1984-86 or so....that's when the monster truck kit fad was big.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelmonster Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 how much would you pay for them in a package deal ?Could I make the bigfoot into just a truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I don't believe those can be built stock without A LOT of work. You'd have to find just about everything. Now, I think the chassis from the AMT 1992-96 F-150s, while perhaps not 100% accurate, might be a good start, you'd still need to come up with a carbbed 302 or 300 (Kitchen Table Resins makes the 300 and it's said to be very nice, Escort Resins also makes one that looks pretty good,) the interior, wheels, tires, etc. Or, you could make a pretty cool mild custom using the interior and running gear from the newer truck.

modelmonster Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 All i think i would have to do is get a different frame and wheels and tires!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Glad you're getting the answers you need, but next time could you please make a more descriptive title? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigphoto Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Actually most of the stock suspension parts are in that version just absolutely no refernce to them in the instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62rebel Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 the top of the rear axle from the '79 is missing. the rest of the parts are there, as stated above, and the wheelwells AS PICTURED on the box have to be cut out to do that, so, the '79 can be built MOSTLY stock with a custom grille insert. i do NOT recall whether all of the stock engine parts were there, but a well-stocked parts box could take up the slack.

Jon Cole Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 This thread could use a better title than... "?" In fact, there was another thread on that very idea. No dis meant, I was just "?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
