OldTrucker Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Was trying to decide what to do with the flatbed from the Ford C600 kit and decided to turn one of my Dodge trucks into a flat bed. Used the long frame rails from the ford to stretch the dodge frame and make cross members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Johnny the flat bed on the L700 is going to look good. Nice progress on your frame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTrucker Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 The driveshaft would have been too long in 1:1 so I made a split shaft and added a carrier ti an added crossmember . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafsprings Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Nice conversion work, the Dodge L700 kit can adapt to other vocations if you have the imagination and motivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 more. The tanker kit will turn into a White 3000 with tank trailer. The kit with the flatbed will be built like a truck I used to see in Indiana that had either dual drive or more likely a tag axle that I would see hauling a short flatbed trailer with a single steel coil.

OldTrucker Posted June 27, 2022 Author Share Posted June 27, 2022 Got wheels and tires done. Debating on wheter to leave the silver bright or hit it with dullcoat. Discovered one of the cab pivots was 1/16 of an inch longer so had to cut it loose and move it down on the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
