Anyone built AMT Dodge Ram 50 ?

[7th_skyline]

Anyone built this kit? I saw it in the LHS today. It clearly a Dodge "badge engineered" version of an early 80's mitsubishi design (Locally badged as a "Mitsubishi L200" utility).
Its a small pickup/ute with a mitsu astron motor. I'm not sure whether it is a 4X2 or 4X4 (both were available 1:1, and it is a little high riding).
Anyway, just wondering if anyone has done it. I'm thinking of buying it and building it RHD, two wheel drive, as a mitsubishi. It would , if its possible, be very low, on some jap race style alloys kind of a "old school jap racer/minitruck cross".

Looking for some info on quality of the kit, difficulty of the build, underbody/engine detail, and also if it is feasible to severely lower it (almost minitruck style). And what the wheel mounting setup is.

Yes, I've built both versions of this kit. There was an MPC 4x4 version (orange truck on box) and a 2wd AMT 2 in 1 version (pink truck with ground effects on box). They are reasonably well detailed considering their age. The street machine AMT kit is newer and sounds closest to what you are looking for. It has nice chassis with many seperate parts, and a reasonably detailed four cylinder engine. Interior is decent as well.

I've built the new AMT kit. Has ground affects and fender flares available, with your choice of a bedcover with 4 20'' subs, or a roll-bar. and the motor can be built stock, or turbo-charged.
