41CHEVY Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) This is the Lindberg Dodge. The chassis is stretched and the Polar lights Slant 6 is installed.

Zoom Zoom Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 YES!! It was copied from a truck in Brooklyn salvage yard. Cool! Just wondered...also wonder if the owner of "Manhatten Movers" drove a Camero with Cragers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41CHEVY Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Albion Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Very Nice build! The engine and decals look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshaver Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak Island Modeler Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 That's a well done old Dodge. I like the use of the slant six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41CHEVY Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak Island Modeler Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I've been tempted to build one of mine with a 426 hemi or 440 six pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
