In Response To: F-100 QUESTION: Would a 60's Moebius F-100 chassis fit the AMT 60 kit (has promo chassis)? *NM* ()

Although you will need to lengthen it to accommodate the 8 ft bed. (Or you could use the stepside bed from the 53 as well.) You'll likely also want to source a Y block from another kit. The crossover exhaust those trucks have being another can of worms. A lot of full size rodders use the rams horns from the Y block powered C series trucks. Maybe modify a set from a Chevy in scale.

- Might fit, but the suspension and rear axle aren't right pre-'65. If you want a modern chassis, look at the Revell Foose '56 *NM*

- Tim Boyd did an excellent article in a recent issue of Finescale Modeler putting the engine & chassis from a Moebius under a '63 pickup, guessing that would be close to the same conversion *NM*
  - Try May/June 2025 issue, page 36. *NM*
- Thanks, folks, for your suggestions--didn't realize the possibilities--might have to buy more kits (what an awful thought...). *NM*
