smhardesty Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I've searched on here and did a bit of searching on the 'Net. I must not be entering the right search phrase. I'd like to know what years the L700 was produced. I know they were produced most, if not all, of the '60s, but I have no idea how much prior to the '60s they were around. The reason I'm asking is that one of the Lindberg kits includes a '40 Ford Coupe. Granted it's supposed to be an old, weathered Ford, but I wonder why they included a 1940 model car with it. Anybody know for sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgefever Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 The Dodge L series was producded from 1966 - 71. Why include the '40 Ford? I guess because they had the tooling, and combi kits might be perceived as added value by some. The '40 was originally a Palmer kit, IIRC, and is a lesser quality knockoff of the AMT '40.

smhardesty Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Thanks, Stu. The L700 wasn't around in as much of the 60s as I remember. Maybe I just remember it well because I liked the looks of the truck. I don't recall what trucking line it was, but one of the L700s made regular deliveries to a couple of places in my hometown. I can remember seeing the driver turn that rig around in a parking lot that no other semi could have managed.Makes sense on the '40 Ford. I'm doubting if I'll even assemble it. I have in mind putting one or two late 60s MOPARS on it for display. I even toyed with the idea of painting and detailing the truck to match an early F/X, funny car, or gasser. Although not common, I recall a few guys with rigs like that pulling into a couple drag strips in Texas many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
