• Does anyone have insider information on the MPC short bed 72 c10? *NM*
  • What info is there? It'll be the existing kit with new parts *NM*
    • That's like saying it'll be in a box. It will have parts attached to sprue. I was wondering what the changes will be to the original kit. I saw the NNL photos, looks like very few changes other than a shorter frame and bed. *NM*
      • That's it. Just the new parts to convert it to the short bed version *NM*
        • Get there before Moby at lowest practical investment level ... at least that's how I would see it happening *NM*
          • Expecting a totally re-engineered 54-year-old tool? *NM*
            • Older than that...a couple of parts date back to the '67 annual, as does the design of both of the kits used to create the current one *NM*
            • No, but I'd love to see them pay the respect to the kit that they did with the 60 Ford and other rebirths they have produced. This is a high interest subject and one that can either help or hurt Round 2 given price points and upcoming competition in the market with Moebius *NM*
              • You're comparing new kits ('60/'63 Fords) to a conversion. Round 2/Lionel has had the ball for over fifteen years; replacing an existing kit with a new one isn't the way they do things *NM*
            • It is an easy layup. The shortbed chassis exists as the GMC shortbed; make a new standard shortbed and presto - new kit!
