Part of the fourth generation of the popular Ford F-Series, the F-100 Flareside Pickup features a 115-inch wheelbase, a 6½-foot bed, classic rounded rear fenders and a flat-sided truck bed with running boards for easy loading - practical for hauling loads around the ranch or farmyard.
Moebius Models’ precision-tooled styrene model kit of the 1966 F-100 Flareside Pickup features a full interior, accurate 240 CID six-cylinder engine and a detailed chassis. The completed kit measures over 7 inches long, and includes clear and chrome-plated parts, soft PVC tires, decal sheet and detailed instructions. Paint and cement are required for assembly - sold separately.
As the premier manufacturer of specialty model kits, Moebius Models’ Ford Pickup Series includes a variety of beloved truck models from the 1960s and 1970s, each featuring exacting attention to detail: full interiors, accurate body styling, soft PVC tires and chrome and clear parts. Precision-tooled styrene components ensure crisp, accurate detail and superior parts fit.
Yes, we notice, it does appear that Moebius labeled the box incorrectly as a "Flareside" Pickup. As you can see from the builds if you have access to the photo array, this model has the Chevy Stepside look about it, but "Stepside" was copyrighted by GM. Ford called their version with a step the Flareside. They called their pickups with linear pickup beds "Stylesides".

I went a different way with this kit. Bought an 8' flareside bed from Fireball Models. Making it a F250 4x4 using the frame and drive train from the '70 kit. And the Fireball F250 conversion kit. I think that '61- '66 body is the best looking body Ford ever did on a truck.
To the folks at Moebius Models;please help "Make America great again" by manufacturing more of your kits here in the US.Maybe we will see 15 to 20% of the MSRP being taken off;please and thank you!.
Most AMT and Lindberg kits are now being made in the USA. Thanks to Round2Models Corp.
Great video again Chris. You put out the best videos on the tube. Well done my friend! Love the decals...there was a local hobby store in my area going out of business a couple years ago and they had a whole box of them and I bought them all for about $20...such a good score. I use the heck out of them. And of coarse I have ordered many of them from Model Roundup. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to the next one...
What a score indeed! My first time using them and was very pleased.
Thanks again Mike!
thanks for the response on the primer/painting. Any thoughts about instructions on micro-sol and micro-set for the gang. Your modeling is the best (and most affordable and made more easy) and your tips and video skills enhance the lessons. This PU truck is my next one - thanks
I'm not very experienced in using those solvents but they are well known and loved and work really well for thousands of modelers.
I use Tamiya MarkFit decal solvent which is just brush on, apply decal, brush some on top and leave it alone to dry.
I learned how to drive with a tan '66 F100. It would be fun to see one of these custom built as a phantom as if Ford made a full-size Bronco in '66.
Yeah!
I own a 66 ford f100 not a flare side though my great grandfather bought it brand new had 6 miles on the odometer he passed it down to me
Nice build, I love those old F-100s, specially the 1967-1972 models. Une question, are those paint booths working well expelling the paint vpors from your room? Is there some residual vapors staying inside and odors stayng there forever?
I own a full size 65 F-100 long bed styleside. I built a nice running 390 to replace the 352. I put an automatic in it with a 9" posi along with some other goodies. Wonder how long it will take for Moebius to make the styleside version instead of that long utility bed?
Great review as always.
Thanks!
@@hpiguy I am happy to see this kit as the only other kit is the vintage AMT that was the uni-body long bed with all kinds of customizing options. Collectors item for big bucks.
I thank Moebius for the kit. Now how about a 57 F-100 short bed both styleside and flairside. The first square body without the fat fenders!
I’m building this kit. Since your video Moebius has corrected the driveshaft error and now calls for part 278 in the instructions. HPI Guy making changes!! 😂😂😂
Like 👍 👌 💛 😙 the FORD Trucks 🚚 🛻 👌 😎!! Do they make a 1939 FORD Mercury, I been looking for years !
Very nice thanks for sharing your build
Thank you Francis!
Hi Chris,
Would love to see a build of a 1959 Ford Farlane Skyliner ragtop. Had one in high school in 1964.
Thanks, Dave
Chris, question. Can I combine this kit with the 1970 F-100 custom cab to make a 1970 ford step-side short bed truck?
So. Future floor polish will work as a glue? Awesome tip on the driveshaft, by the way. Beautiful job you did. As usual.
will they be offering a fleetside bed for this truck?
I hear there is a flat sided truck coming out later this year.
"An engine you couldn't destroy..." unless you rebuild it and forget to torque a main bearing cap. Ask me how I know.
Very cool kit... and a great build/review as always.. Thank you!
Thanks Hisham!
I don't know who started black on the inside fender well and the fire wall. But they roll out of the factory body color. I know from the 71 Ford we had we had a oversized radiator put in plus one ton springs on back but the inside dog house was body color
Kick ass Chris! Love that build!! May have to add this one to my list 😉
Very much thanks Bryan!
yes sir you should it's an awesome kit all the ford trucks by moebius are awesome
@@hpiguy nice build chris i have all the ford trucks by moebius
Holy crap, this is AWESOME Chris!!! Great color choice, your presentations are so informative and a total delight to watch!!!
Thanks Ron!
That motor should be a 300 six cylinder. As tough a motor as ford ever built
Does any one make a 1964 ford f100 long bed custom cab and also does anyone sell a Caribbean terqost spray paint
Would this truck be big enough to put a 1/24 scale driving figure in?
Very tight built, I have plenty of gofer detail sets just in case
You've made the case to use them with this kit
Thanks Joe, my first time using them and I'd say they went on well, proof is in the pudding.
Once more, a magnificent build and review. Can't wait for the next video...
Thanks a lot Simon!
Beautiful build as usual. I left comments on the 65 service truck video. That blue is close to my 65 LWB built in San Jose. Every Ford factory that built trucks had their own signature paint color I think it is Arcadian Blue, same color at a different plant or other cars had different names. I have a 460 & trans just waiting for this one. I always enjoy your builds.
Thanks Larry!
Can we please see your collection ?
Click on the channel and you'll scroll through every kit I've made.
Outro song sounds like Cruel Summer by Bananarama
And also a little bit like Billie Jean.
Sure does!
Does anyone know the artist?
Great stuff....another winner guv'nor!
Moebius, more Dodge trucks please, not just Chevy and Ford! 😉
Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll switch to more cool trucks adding awesome stuff to the line. I think they have quite a few variants of the Fords they still want to so.
I love Moebius Models they’re made of high quality plastic, I’m currently building the International Lonestar model and I already built their version of the Batman vs Superman movie Batmobile, amazing job as always
Thanks Ed, yes they make great stuff!
As always great work and very detailed video description. Love the way you put factual info about the real truck in the description
Thank you Robert, glad you like it!
I love you work and I love doing models cars because my dad got me into the models cars and I miss him
Pretty sweet looking kit, lots of detail. Nice build as usual mate 🍻
Thank you Dale!
I WISH .....I could build a complete kit at the speed you build AND being a looker as well. I have started 8 models and NOT 1is finished. I am on my 3rd nite puttying and sanding the body on
"The Jaw Breaker"rail car.
😫AHHHHHHH ! One of my projects is a curbside Dodge challenger and I STILL am not finished.The 1st attempt at paintimg it came out really nice.
High gloss, No orange peel BUT....
A speck of dust on the hood and 3 on the trunk. So....I wet sanded it, re-painted it and this time I have orange peel. I have that polishing kit that will make the paint look like glass but I am worried about the edges and area's that will bring up the primer. I have plenty of coats on it. I used 1 bottle testors 1 bottle laquer thinner.
Anyway, sorry for the long " who gives a crap" comment. Just venting a bit.
Its ok, thanks for watching Harry!
Who else was drinking coke while watching this
Like yes. Dislike no
My comment not video you like that
Does Sam's Cola count? No?
hpiguys Workshop ya lol
Geeez that looks good. Beautiful color. It will go with the utility truck perfectly. Put something in the back. Nice review & job.
Thanks Daniel!
Great review and build Chris!!! Another kit I'll pick up (pardon the pun lol!!!) and build one of these days...
Thanks for the comment William!
Great build and review Chris, Thanks buddy! 🏁🏁👍👍👍
Thank YOU Whitey!
Been hoping you'd build this one Chris ! And I truely love that Water fall blue. I checked that color out when I was looking at some Rust-Oleum paints for models I want to do. And you got the right idea about Coke and Country music. I can just see me behind the wheel of this beautiful truck with my girlfriend Lynn close to my side on that bench seat, driving down an old country road, drinking cold Coca Cola with some good ol Waylon Jennings blaring out of the speakers ! Mmmm. Sounds good doesn't it ? !!!!
Sounds like a nice weekend evening!
I always wonder what the cheapest and most accurate Ford Blue engine color spray paint is out there? I've always been using Dupli-Color Engine Enamel with Ceramic Old Ford Blue and Ford Blue. The Old Ford Blue is a bit duller and darker than the brighter Ford Blue.
For me I just try to get close.
I bought this model too, just finished it. You're correct, the windshield is VERY hard to fit into place. the back and sides are easier. Why do they include SO MANY parts you'll never use. I've 4 or 5 sprues with parts still on them, not used... Finished it in baby blue, used the big mirrors.. Fitting the interior in there was a pain, but it's in there. They do make nice models!
Common parts from other series are on the molds so they leave them all on there when the cast them.
We end up with free parts for other custom jobs, etc.
A Fantastical Build Chris, I REALLY LIKE THE EVERYTHING,,, Awesome Decal Info Too !! God Bless All
Thanks a bunch Gary!
Im a bit late eatching this one Chris. Outstanding build. Love your simplicity of building. A builder can complete many kits with your style. Do you display your kits? I have this kit and eould like yo build it soon. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice build, you do a great job, both of building and explaining.
Thank you Schroeder!
Carro frefire
I would like to adapt this model to make a running model. Can someone provide a wheelbase measurement? Would like to make a smaller version of my 1/10th scale RC.
It would be exactly 1/25th of the real one, so take the real wheelbase available online and divide by 25.
Great build Chris, good looking kit one more I have to get on my bucket list.
Thanks Charles!
What a great build, thanks for all the tips about the windshield and the different number on the parts sheet. Love the 23 1/2 hr road service decal.
Thanks!
I ought this truck on eBay and took about 3 months to build. I’m in a nursing home for now and had to hand paint the truck with acrylic water colors. The truck turned out wonderfully but not as good if it was sprayed. Made some mistakes with mine and I lost the decal sheet. I used the step bumper in the back but wasn’t able to put the Ford letters on the back tailgate white, but still turned out good. Very happy with it.
Right on!
Is there a Good Humor ice cream truck version of this kit?
Beautiful Ford pickup. Thanks for sharing. Ron
Thanks a lot Ron!
Very cool build
This would make a nice junker too
Thank you, yes, just about any old truck makes a cool junker.
How do you apply the Future Floor polish? Sorry if you already have a tutorial on this but I didn't find any.
No problem, just brush it on with a wide soft brush in a nice thick coat and walk away for a couple hours. Let it dry, don't touch it as it dries or you'll get brush marks.
If left alone it will level itself out and dry clear.
Great video as usual CHRIS. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Jorge!
I love the simplicity and effectiveness of your builds! It´s a great reference and inspiration to us all, keep it up!
Thanks a lot Cesar!
I've done 6 kits lately they are fun however I was getting discouraged by the windshields but now my next one (66 f100 flareside) hopefully will work or go in properly thank you!!
I believe those are East Coast or West Coast or RV mirrors. And I believe that the inner fenders are galvanized steel. Love that truck. That color is fantastic on there.
Cool, thanks!
Love the Moebius kits!!
From the video it looks like a Chevrolet emblem on the bench seat. I assume it isn’t since it’s a Ford truck. What is the emblem?
It's one of Ford's older emblems.
This was the first ever video I've watched of yours 😂
Hope you enjoyed it!
Chris, i follow you alot on the new kits. The 1 reason why i give this kit a 99.9% rating is you cannot rule out that hollow grill. The grill alone buys the kit a total different level to a must have kit.
Thanks for watching Jeremy!
great build, but question, I used to leave the pieces on the sprue for painting but then when I remove it from the sprue I have a bar spot, do you just touch this up? I stopped doing this for this reason and took everything out of sprue before paint.
I shoot a little of the spray paint into a cup and dip a brush in it, dab it on the sprue cut area.
What future floor polish brand do you use?
I love your videos , I just purchased the 1969-1972 Ford kits , I drive a Ram truck but have always liked the old Ford's, thank you for making these videos keep up the good work
You knocked it out of the park with this one! And the kit is Awsome!! Thank You Sir!!
Thanks Kevin, it's easy to work on well designed kits!
Crown Vic swap!
Kevin Gilroy, I was thinking the same thing! “Crown Hick”.
This kit does not disappoint! Very good review. Will be getting it. So, what, did you leave the bed decal on it's backing paper?
Thanks!
I slid it off the backing paper over a coat of decal solution I brushed onto the bed floor. After a few hours it settled down over the bed strips and looks great!
@@hpiguy oh, wow! I wouldn't have thought that would work. Cool!
Chris, once you go to paint i see you have those mounts with the alligator clamps on it. Where did you happen to get those at? It will save me a ton of time.
The soldering stands? Just google 'helping hands solder'.
There is no separate sasey mower days it's all in one
Hi good truck
Thanks!
Nice looking rig. Grill is outstanding.
Trucks, trucks, and more trucks, keep
em comin
Came out just great... Chris, you're pretty spot-on with your color scheme choices, but of course you are that's why we do research right!.... just as a bit of info you weren't far off on the color ford called it ( frost turquoise) in 66.
Thanks Jon!
I get lucky sometimes and find a close color or scheme to a stock vehicle. Mainly I just look at a few pics and see something I like and make an attempt to create a look I enjoy, correct or not.
Thanks for always watching!
@@hpiguy Yep, it's about the enjoyment most of all.
Not being American, I don't have the nostalgic attachment to these vehicles; but being a petrol head, I do enjoy them greatly. And your videos are great. I do have one question, and if I'm wrong someone will surely set me straight. At about 16:18 into the video you show the painted bench seat. Is that the Chevrolet logo embossed in the centre?
It looks similar but it's an old Ford style emblem they used.
Minty projects Hey man,it's the same logo as on the front of the hood(bonnet). Google it for a good looksome had the V8 logo,some said I Beam ,some said just Ford. Look up hood emblems cuz I haven't seen any pics of the seat thing on the interwebs. Don't know if they are gone when people have the seats redone or if they are just a bitch to restore.
i have all the ford trucks out by moebius they are awesome kits love the 69 kit i did mine in a pro touring build
They sure are nice!
@@hpiguy yes sir they are i love buliding models i'm 50 yrs old and still enjoy building them
Anyone help me with the getting replacement decals for this kit. Lost mine can’t think where I’ve put them. I live in the UK
Another great build! I do have to say that, in my opinion, unless you were going for a restored, show truck, I don't think that the bed floor decal would be accurate. I freely admit that I don't know much about Ford or Dodge trucks from that era. What I do know is that GM trucks with wood floors never had a fancy finish. The planks were always black, for all I know, they might have been treated with kreosote(?) like railroad ties and telephone poles. I'm not criticizing your build, just saying what I know. I actually hate it when someone brings me a step side for restoration. They always want the fancy bed floor kit. Unfortunately, most of them don't realize how much those kits cost. Again, I'm not trying to down grade your build, it's awesome!
You could be very right.
The box art shows a nice wood bed and I like the look of it.
I should never be regarded as a source for perfect factory examples, it's not my style of modelling. Nothing what so ever against those that are into factory perfection.
hpiguys Workshop I completely get that and hope you didn't take my comment as criticism. I didn't intend it that way. I'm actually working on a replica of my own truck right now using 2 of the Revell GMC plow truck kits. I needed 2 because mine has an 8' bed. I'm also using the intake manifold, etc, from the 78 Camaro kit for my build, since the trucks engine (for some reason) has a Rochester fuel injection system. The rest of the Camaro kit will be riding on a trailer, as a "barn find" behind the truck. I'm scratch building the trailer out of brass tubing. This build is to replicate the day that I dragged my Camaro out of a barn (over 30 years ago) and gave it a new life as a drag car. I've been through several trailers in that time and the truck has been restored twice, however, the truck still hauls the Camaro to the track every weekend.
No offense taken, I knew what you meant and for those that want to build perfect replicas it's nice to have info like yours in the comments.
Joli modèle !! Congrest ...
That is a lovely little truck
You must have a nice heated shop. I was just thinking of this as I would like to do these over the winter. Hmmm...
I work in my basement. Gets pretty cold down there in Winter but I'm used to it.
@@hpiguy what do you do about the paint fumes? And heat? Just concerns I thought of and wondered.
nice build of a quality made bunch of parts
Thanks Jeffrey!
I wish my old 66 f100 can run by the way its fun to watch a Same truck as mine
Was this same straight 6 the used in the mustang and bronco?
No idea, I'm sure google or car clubs would know that.
Another awesome build!! Man that truck looks sweet. My dad has '63 f 150 that doesn't look too different than this. Of course his has a mustang v8 and suspension. ;)
Very cool, thanks Wily!
I actually had a '66 f-250 long bed. It was my first truck. 390 with oil bath air filter. Miss that thing. Didn't know what i had. Would love to have a model of it. I think this is as close as I'll get. For now. As always, another great build. This would make an awesome shop truck for my service station.
Yes it would, thanks!
kool , thanx...funny thing...I knew someone , that had that exact truck 1/1 scale..nice kit
Robert
Thank you Robert!
I love it, you got me using Rustoleum paint now. How long do you let the primer dry before going to the color coat?
30 minutes or so and it's dried enough to paint over in my shop. Other places or humidity may take longer.
Thanks, I appreciate the support and nice words!
Why is there a Chevy looking logo molded into the seat?
Only similar, it's an old Ford brand logo they used.
What I did for the box wood on my ‘65 Chevy short box was use some 3/16” pine hobby planking from Micheals. Then stained it with whatever I had on hand.
I also detailed the engine with plug wires and cooling lines.
Looks awesome
Great tip!
I was really hoping that you would do a review & build on this model. And as usual dude, AWESOME! I'm thinking of a metallic purple for mine, just to be different of course. Looking forward to that decal review when you post it! Thanks again man, see you in the very next video...
That will be cool, thanks for watching!
Nice shade of blue. I think that blue would work for Richard Petty builds.
Yes yes it would I think.
I may just have a Petty build coming up this Summer.....hmm....
One of your better builds. Oh to have one of these today.
Thanks Keith!
Hello, enjoyed your video and tips. For someone new to modeling would you be able to walk through briefly the various tools you use to make a build successful? Just twisting parts off and generous glue applications may assemble the model but it doesn't make it showroom quality. Thanks
Thanks for watching man!
I've done an entire video on how I prep and paint a body. You can scroll back to December on my channel to see that.
I'm not sure what you mean by tools, I've shown the tools used numerous times, from cheap dollar store sanding sticks, to Xuron parts cutters and the ubiquitous Xacto knife.
I focus on new release kit reviews, and toss in tips, trucks and ideas as much as I can. But I can't focus on model building classes in depth, getting two entire kits done per week is busy as it is.
Fantastic job Mr Chris. I checked my Grand pops 69 ford colors book and the motor was spot on. Bed is great. The song you picked TL 11:03 reminded me of an old "Yes" song. Take care!
Thanks a lot Icenesis!
Wow Chris, Beautiful build buddy, one of your best.Cant wait till the next review. K.u.t.g.w.
Thanks Jim!
Moebius did their homework on this one, I recognize many parts and details that are on my 1966 f100 daily driver (though it's a long bed fleetside)
Sweet!
The great build but I found one flaw the seat has a Chevrolet emblem on it not a Ford emblem on it
It's not a Chevy bowtie emblem, it kind of looks similar, but it's not.
@@hpiguy thank you my eyes that look like a Chevy bowtie thank you for correcting me you got you do really nice work I love watching your your videos keep them up
Increíble tu trabajo sos un verdadero artesano .tengo una f100 65 para uso diario .Felicitaciones saludos cordiales desde Argentina
Thank you!
I notice that you rarely, if ever put a radio antenna on your models. I always liked to use a piece of sprue, heated and stretched thin. Then cut to desired length. You can also custom make wires, heater hoses, battery cables, etc like this. Your model building rocks btw!
Thanks for watching!
Great looking truck and kit
Thank you Charlie!
because I think you're the best when it comes to reviews, here I go again, buying yet another. I have bought several kits just from watching your kit reviews Thanx Chris!
Thanks a lot for the nice comments!
I enjoy your videos. I was wondering about your paint booth. Does it do a good job with fumes? Do you have it vented to outside? I don't have access to outside in my basement, so I need something to control the fumes and smell.
You can vent it outside if wanted.
I have a large basement shop and wear a respirator. I use it solely to suck up overspray and keep it from dusting the room up.
The truck would look worthy of some weathering, Mobius has some great looking models, and another great build from you!
Thank you Peter, yes it would look great as a basket case or work truck, etc.
Another nice build!
Looking forward to the "gofer" video. I've used their decals on some truck kits and I'm happy with the result. Would like to see how their other after market stuff holds up.
Thanks Tim!
