cdnmodman Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Just wondering if anyone has worked with the Linberg chrome tanker kit. I am interested in how it works as a short trailer or as a tank on a straight truck. Any info or pics would be appreciated. Rick
mackinac359 Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 I prefer it as the short truck-body tanker. Here's an unchromed version on a 1/24th scale Italeri Peterbilt 378 chassis. Tim
cdnmodman Posted February 26, 2011 Author Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) Thanks Tim, That is an awsome rig, my father in law used to drive a Feightliner bulk milk tanker and it was something I was thinking about putting into the build list. When I was a kid growing up in small town Ontario we lived close to a powdered milk plant and used to see rigs similiar to this running in and out. Does that trialer have a reasonable potential for something like this. http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/pix/trucks/art_laing/46_lj_in_54.jpg http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/pix/trucks/art_laing/b70_at_cannonsville_ny_55.jpg http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/pix/trucks/art_laing/b70_mack_55.jpg http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/pix/trucks/steve_slocum/2004/july07/scan.jpg Up here the tractors were more International oriented and I do remember some Ford c series doing the job as well.

mackinac359 Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Oh yeah! The trailer is a great starting point for a project like that.

Jim B Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Would the Dodge L700 even be able to pull that tanker? How about stop it?
