Every legendary race car has a story. It’s a tale of roaring engines, daring drivers, and checkered flags. But behind every one of those stories is an unsung hero: the hauler that got it to the track. Moebius Models brings this hero to life with their incredible 1:25 scale kit of the 1970 Ford F-350 Ramp Truck (Kit #2588).

This isn't just another truck model; it's a centerpiece, a diorama waiting to happen, and a tribute to the golden age of motorsport.

The Real-Deal "Bumpside"

First, let's talk about the truck itself. The 1967-1972 Ford F-Series trucks, affectionately known as "Bumpsides" for their distinctive body line, are icons of American utility. They were tough, reliable, and had classic good looks. The F-350 was the one-ton workhorse of the family, making it the perfect platform for a custom ramp bed conversion. These trucks were a common sight in paddocks across the country, carrying everything from local stock cars to professional Trans-Am machines.

Moebius Delivers the Details

Moebius Models has a reputation for exceptionally detailed and well-engineered kits of unique subjects, and this F-350 is no exception. When you open the box, you’re greeted with a wealth of crisply molded parts.

• Powerful Heart: Under the hood, you’ll find a beautifully rendered Ford FE V8 engine, complete with all the essential details that will make you want to display it with the hood open.

• Solid Foundation: The kit features a full, multi-piece frame that captures the heavy-duty nature of the F-350 chassis. The suspension and drivetrain are separate components that allow for super-detailing.

• The Business End: The star of the show is the ramp bed itself. Moebius nailed the look, with a textured, non-slip surface, slide-out ramps, and a detailed winch assembly. You can practically feel the grit and history.

• Cab Comfort: The interior is a perfect replica of the simple, functional 1970s Ford cab, ready for you to add your own personal touches.

A Canvas for Your Creativity

This kit is a model builder’s dream because of its potential. Sure, you can build it box-stock in a factory color for a stunning result. But the real fun begins when you start to imagine the possibilities:

• The Weathered Workhorse: Imagine this truck with a faded paint job, a little rust on the bed, and some grease stains on the chassis. A true veteran of countless race weekends.

• The Pro Race Team: Create a custom livery for a famous race team like Shelby, Holman-Moody, or Bud Moore Engineering. Picture this truck painted Wimbledon White and Guardsman Blue with a GT350 on the back.

• The Ultimate Diorama: This kit is practically begging to be paired with a period-correct race car. Moebius, Revell, and AMT all make fantastic 1:25 scale models of Mustangs, Camaros, Torinos, and Challengers that would look right at home on this ramp.

The Moebius 1970 Ford F-350 Ramp Truck is more than a model; it's a time machine. It’s a chance to build the blue-collar legend that made race day possible. So, the only question left is: what are you going to haul on yours?
