I have this kit,but never have really checked it out. I also have the Bush Baby (unopened) and the Monroe Magnum. I would think the chassis from the Monroe Handler would be longer since it's a long wheel base.

The chassis is the same- the Flareside bed is a bit shorter, though. I've mixed and matched beds from one to the other, and they all fit and attach the same way.

That explains why the flareside bed looks so wrong to me. When/if I ever build the flareside,I'll move the fenders and rearend forward a few scale inches. I pulled my Monroe Magnum out today and did a quick mockup and everything lines up really well. The tires are huge on it, so I'll probably change them out or convert it to a 4x4 using the parts from the Bush Baby.

I think the Magnum came with a second set of tires, but they were super skinny-

Yeah it also has those tiny little tires too. I didn't know if they were original with the kit or not. I'm going to keep the bigger tires and make mine a 4x4. That's a good looking little Courier you have. Been a long time since I've seen one built.
