Dave Van Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 How do I get that job? Really- that would be awesome. Not only having a Bumpside kit, but having a Bumpside kit months before anybody else. It's a double edge sword for sure. You get to see stuff early......but it comes with other 'duties' .........
Dave Metzner Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 I'll be working on For Pick-up mock-ups for the next few days - will try to post some photos before I pack eveything up and send it back to China.

Chuck Most Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 It's a double edge sword for sure. You get to see stuff early......but it comes with other 'duties' ......... I could certainly handle additional duties if a Bumpside is at stake.
gray07 Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 I wish they would bring out a bullnose ford (80-87), i have a 80, i know about the quadzilla ford but wish they would bring out a bed for it.

I , too , would love to see a stock 1980-1986 F-100 ! Y'know , one of those years with steel wheels / hubcaps , 2-wheel-drive , fleetside with a flareside option , etc. , etc. And the option of an inline six (300 I-6) or a small V8 (Windsor ) ; Cruise-O-Matic or "creeper" 4 speed .
Longbox55 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 fleetside with a flareside option . Fleetside option? I don't think having an option to build it as a Chevrolet is going to work.
Edsel-Dan Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) He means Smoothside (Non-stepside){Wide-side}. Like Chevy/GM's Fleetside Fleetside has become the 'Name' we use for that type bed. Like we say Kleenex for facial tissue(Nose wipes) Or that Dirty 'G' word when they mean Internet Search Edited February 20, 2013 by Edsel-Dan
Rob Hall Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) He means Smoothside (Non-stepside){Wide-side}. Like Chevy/GM's Fleetside Ford calls the wide-side style bed a 'Styleside', I believe...a marketing term like Flareside or how in the late '60s they called fastbacks 'Sportsroofs'...

Rob Hall Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 @Tom--that is sweet! Is that in 1:25th using the early '90s AMT longbed w/ the MPC '82 Bronco clip?

charlie8575 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Very nice conversion, Tom. What did you use for that? I remember seeing a lot of those trucks around here, and I still see one periodically. Blue/silver was a pretty common color scheme on them, too. Charlie Larkin
Rob Hall Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 If the Moebius Fords are successful, hopefully resin casters will come out with some variations...I particularly like this 4x4 Crew Cab:
Repstock Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 @Tom--that is sweet! Is that in 1:25th using the early '90s AMT longbed w/ the MPC '82 Bronco clip? Yes, those are the two kits I used. The Bronco supplies hood, front end, wheel well openings, most of the interior, and taillights. This is a model of an actual truck that was destroyed by a fire started by a cigarette in the cab. Too bad, it was a nice truck.
Platerpants Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 How do I get that job? Really- that would be awesome. Not only having a Bumpside kit, but having a Bumpside kit months before anybody else. yeah thatd be great, especially being a ford truck guy. i want a model of a 78 ford f250 like my grandpa has he inherited it from my great grandpa who passed away last year. The dually is my best friend's uncle's truck we used it to move the truck 30 miles. the truck fired right up afterwards. The thing is pretty darn solid for an ohio truck. im mean 1 rust spot on the bed and no holes.

You would need to re-work the bed sides to replicate the truck in the picture, but it could be done!

1972coronet Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Tom (RepStock) WOW !!! That is one gorgeous '100 !! Thank you for sharing it here
Tom Geiger Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Wow! From Dave and Art's posts it looks like things are moving right along. Considering that when they unveiled their intent in Toledo, we all figured the model would be a year out. I'll be buying a bunch of 'em... in fact, no need to sell single kits, just package them as 6 packs!
Chuck Most Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Like we say Kleenex for facial tissue(Nose wipes) Nah... 'wideside' and 'stepside' are the 'generic' terms. Fleetside is a dirty word, even for GM trucks.
Fabrux Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 You know, actually, Jeep called their beds wideside and fenderside...
Longbox55 Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Wideside and Fenderside were GMCs, Jeeps were Townside and Thriftside.
Chris guthro Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Pleasee come out with the 80-86! I have a real 84 f150 2wd im putting a 460 and c6 in!
