This is the Lindberg Dodge. The chassis is stretched and the Polar lights Slant 6 is installed. The chassis and engine are fully plumbed. The body is a shortened Ford delievery truck body. Alloy wheels and home made decals. Paul

Neat model; did you intentionally mis-spell "Manhattan"?

Cool! Just wondered...also wonder if the owner of "Manhatten Movers" drove a Camero with Cragers?

I do believe at one time he did in the early 70's. I know he used to try to race with thre "Big Boys" on North Conduit and on Crossbay Blvd. Paul

Very Nice build! The engine and decals look great.

Im very curous folks, considering the weight of a truck thaat size would the six have the torque to pull it self around? wouldn't a 318 motor seem more approperate? Ed Shaver

That's a well done old Dodge. I like the use of the slant six.

[41CHEVY]

The 6 torque is close to the 318 and with a 4 speed and a 2 speed rear, the truck move pretty well in the city. Paul

I've been tempted to build one of mine with a 426 hemi or 440 six pack.

A lot of trucks here in the city had the sixes. We bought a Chevy C-50 wrecker from an NY City auction with a six and a 4 speed. The worst truck I ever drove.
