mackinac359 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Nice! That last green Dodge van on the trailer looks like an old Bell Telephone truck. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultraliner13 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 That Dodge truck really suits the car transporter. I have the transporter and have never found a truck in my fleet that goes well with the transporter. I only wish I had a Dodge L700 so my trailer could be connected. A great build well done.

Jim B Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I haven't built the L700 yet, but I intend to. What can you expect with the castings. The mounds are 40years old (give or take). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefbo Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I haven't built the L700 yet, but I intend to. What can you expect with the castings. I just Started on mine. I spent the first night with a #11 blade cleaning flash off all the parts. So far the parts have gone together well, but I've only put the engine together so far.

41CHEVY Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 I googled dodge trucks and also dodge L600 and found a few pics and catalog photos. The info seems few and far between.As for the flash... remember this tooling is 40 years old. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Sorry about the double posting my puters freaking out. I found some referance material on the old dodge hope the following will help. http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thsca...rochures/dodge/ and http://www.sweptline.com/hist/bigtrucks.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car hauler looks nice, I like the colors you picked too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Steffens Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Could have been.... it's a stripped umnit,just like Ma Bell would have used. Paul When I first started with Ma Bell in 1996, my "assigned vehicle" (as the bosses call it) was a 1977 Chevy Van. It only had 21000 miles on it! It looked like it had been through a war though. I wouldn't be surprised if its still around somewhere. The heater didn't work and it only had an AM radio. There was no passenger seat anymore and I think there was a family of squirrels living in it. When a/c became standard equipment on the vehicles they used, the company would pay extra to either remove it or have it disabled. Go figure.

Old Albion Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Paul, This is a great looking rig. I like the weathering. This truck would look great photographed outside on a sunny day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
