Dutzie Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Here is the next project on the bench. It’s a resin Dodge LS 1000 from AITM on an AMT GMC chassis. Doing some minor weathering on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Nice build up with the Dodge LS 1000 Brian. I’ve built 2 of these so far and have one more yet to build. Looking forward to seeing more of your building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 You're off to a good start. Looks like this one will be a work horse. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMP440 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Last time I saw a Dodge LS 1000 was around 91 or 92, in western Pembroke Pines, FL. The truck and trailer was orange and owned by a moving company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) I really like what you have so far Brian!! It looks great!! I like these trucks!! Great work! I did a little research on these when I built mine. For anyone who might be interested, here is s what I found. First, Dodge was bad to change how they identified their trucks so there will be variations. Most of these were identified this way: L- series of the truck V or N- v configuration engine or inline S or T single or tandem drive Some were referred to as simply LS or LT without the middle digit. My wrecker build was tandem drive with a 6-71 so it is a LNT 1000. Just some fun useless information. ? Looking forward for seeing this one built.

leafsprings Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Looks great, can't go wrong with an old iron build! Maybe Global Van Lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUSADER2 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I really like these old Dodge cabovers, they have real character, its looking really good, nice colour scheme too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutzie Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 Thanks for all the comments. Thanks Brian for all of the great information. The little Dodge is finished. I made several mistakes on this one but it still turned out decent. I may bring it back to the bench this winter and rework some of the issues.

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Oh man I like this one!! I don’t know why but it it seems like back in the day when you saw a Dodge like this one it always needed a bath. You really captured the look of these old work horses! Nice job weathering! Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stenfalk Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 With its large headlights, the Dodge always has a very friendly face. Nevertheless, it remains a nice cabover. And with your model you have set him an extremely handsome monument. Good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmopars Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Very very nice, looks great. Nice color combo and the weathering looks good. I didn't know you could put a Dodge cab on a GMC frame and not have the thing melt into a pile of goo. Some kind of crime has to have been committed here. Keep up the good work.
