1978-79 AMT Firestone Ford pickup cab and interior, Moebius 1972 Ford F-250 4x4 frame, suspension and drivetrain. Unknown manufacturer resin standard wheelbase bed (swap meet find). My own casting of an original AMT 73-75 Ford pickup grille.  I added the bedside toolbox. Fireball Modelworks wheels, tires and hubcaps.

Excellent build of one of Ford's better looking trucks.  Really like that body style. Overall sharp build and like your choice of body color.

Beautiful two-tone paint colors and finish. Great body trim detailing. Like the wheels and tires.

X2! Awesome job!  IMO, AMT really miscalculated by not offering the standard 8' bed, it makes of world of difference in building an authentic mid 70's 4 WD.

Nice job.  Tell me the engine is a 390, a kit bash item from one of the Moeibus kits?

Everything on the engine is from the Moebius kit except hoses and distributor. Distributor is from Morgan Automotive Detail. It is built as a 390, but basically can be almost any FE series engine. {352, 360, 428}

Beautiful build! Did the cab lights come in the kit or aftermarket?

They came with the Moebius Ford F-250 4x4 kit, they also come in the 2 wheel drive F-250 kit.
