Joe Thomas Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) Built the IMC Dodge L-700 50 years ago. The version shown in orange paint. Also built the matching box trailer but no photos as it is storage. Now the present: Wife bought the truck and tanker kit at Ollies for a Christmas gift. This time it will have all the flaws from the previous build corrected starting with the steering knuckles. By supergluing a small scrap plastic across the lower attachment kingpin pivot fork the issue of the lower arm camming out may be solved. See pics below. The spindle can be pivoted into place and the top cap glued on to the spindle being careful not to get glue on the pin. The overlong pin top pin needs to be filed down. More to come.

Joe Thomas Posted February 2, 2019 Author Posted February 2, 2019 Fixed the wheel alignment by some judicious bending of the tie rod end connections on the knuckles. Before and after pics.
