Before i start...

Hello, my name is Daniel mattera, I am trying to build a model of a truck I previously had it was a 1992, Ford F250 XLT, with the standard cab. I was looking at just removing the extra extended cab on a monogram 1990 F250 and going from there. I see others have made that truck but I have no idea what to expect, and don't know if anyone has done the same or has advice regarding this kit or if there is another that matches to correct year I need.

Also what about a mild lift (the model looks a bit to low, I see others have lifted that I wonder how they did as well as if the kit comes as a 4x4) (obviously im a beginner with this stuff... im only in high school so anything would be a wonderful bit of advice)

Thanks!

No need to cut up an extended cab, Daniel, as AMT made a '92 F-150 standard cab 2WD kit which could be the base kit for your project:

The AMT kit has been issued in several guises, including the short box above, as well as:

Regular cab long box:

Regular cab flareside:

Lightning:

As well as a snap kit and several promos of the RCLB.

These kits are all 2WD trucks with the 5.8L engine and an automatic transmission. If you want to build a 4x4, you will need to pick up one of the MPC/AMT Broncos, latest issue here:

If you want to build a 4x4 version with a manual transmission, you will need to pick up a Lindberg '97 F-150 for the appropriate transmission and transfercase, any one of these three:

The last two kits also have a really good set of BFG All-Terrain tires.

The AMT's 5.8L can be modified into a 5.0L with some sanding of the displacement from the intake and if you want to built a 4.9L six-cylinder you will need this resin kit from Ken Kitchen: http://public.fotki.com/KenK/kitchen_table_resin_kits/ford-bix-6-300-ci-w/

Hope this helps!

thank you! ill certainly look into it, is there any way to have the 7.3L engine under the hood or is it only made with the 5.8?

The 7.3L diesel engine was never kitted.
