OldTrucker Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Just finished it this morning. Far from perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Tough kit. Nicely done. The stake bed looks right at home on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveracer Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Johnny, looks great especially the lengthened chassis and stake bed build. When I was a kid, I built the exact same layout and color except I did not create the wood stake sides, so it was just a flatbed out of balsa. This model looks nice, and I have a special liking for the old Dodge tilt cabs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Great job with the tractor to stake conversion! Cab sits level and straight on frame, hard to pull off with the L 700. Excellent detail and paint work, especially like wheel color contrasts. Keep these medium duties coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discovered that the frame posts for the cab hinge are different lengths and had to move one up higher on the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainford Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 The old Dodge looks great as a stake bed. Very nice work. I’ve been wanting to tackle one of these kits for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
