DodgeAddict Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Ever since the early 70's I've been infatuated with the IMC Dodges & saw a thread on Moparts about "Vintage Car Haulers" in the race section Then I knew I needed to buy more of these To build these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Bob looking forward to see how these haulers turn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilrathy10 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Should be a cool conversion.....I've never really liked that old Dodge, but a few guys have made this thing look pretty good.....This project has a lot of potential....Great idea....

DodgeAddict Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Thanks guys! I started building one before the other but when another L700 came in the mail I started the second one Here's the first mockup pic with the chassis original wheelbase It has at least a 3/4" gap with this cab/sleeper combo Now here's chassis #2 with a relocated axle This one will be the Drag Car one & #1 being configured more for roundy round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgeAddict Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 These trucks have now become the transporters for these http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=89540 But here are some of the pics from the construction & will show what the only flaw & the fix in the donor Ford kit The dark spot on the frame is where I had to heat it to correct it Of the three I have opened, two have had this problem Here it is with the frame painted & axle installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgeAddict Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Thanks Tom I need to build them identical now so the sleeper cab will go back to it's original project & the two cabs that I'm trading for will be used on them with a revised sleeper plan that is more era fitting Something like the one offered for the C600 Ford in resin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgeAddict Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 The Cab kit to build their trucks is $110 each or I would have already planned for them as you can buy the cars to put on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
