WTB/Looking For AMT 1976 Ford F-150 pickup

[WigWag Workshop]

Good Day Folks!

I am looking to buy/trade a Mid 70's Ford F-150 kit. I only found one on that auction site, but the price is $70 for an AMT kit. It does not need to be that particular kit, any non-4x4 mid 70's Ford F-150 kit will do. I want to do a surprise build, for a person that has been an inspiration in one of my other hobbies. He drives a 1976 Ford F150, that he purchased from his father that bought it new in 1976. Below is a link to the listing, of the only one I found.

WOW...I hate seeing a plastic kit going for an outrageous price! Like it's something Michelangelo made!

Anyway, it does seem to be one of those white whales and not around! If something pops up on the radar, I will be sure to let you know. My first guess though is there is a 1978 F-150 out there. In all actuality, Ford did not change the body style between 76 and 78...but they did change the headlights and grill a little on the more expensive models...but the headlights stayed the same on the base model. Just food for thought, not that you wanted to scratch build a grill set up...but it is possible!

Best of luck on the kit search!

Thank You for the reply, I been looking at the Firestone 4x4 kit that is out there, and seeing if I will be able to modify for my needs. I am also looking to see if there are any resin bodies out there that will work.

I'm not very familiar with American trucks, but there's this:

Check the instruction sheet, the kit contains parts to build it as a two-wheel drive version.
