This is the truck that answers the question: How would truck users and buyers design a tilt if they could be in on its planning from the start? Many of its basic design factors were actually checked out with owners, drivers, and mechanics across the country. The result is a strong, quiet, cool cab with remarkable maneuverability. Access for servicing is total ; you can get at every system easily. And the price invites comparison. For the features it offers, the Dodge medium-tonnage tilt cab has just about the lowest price in its field. The two models (L600 and L700) cover GVW's from 17,000 to 27,500 lbs. The L600 is offered with gasoline power, while the L700 can be equipped with either gasoline or diesel.
The Dodge medium-tonnage tilt cab was designed to incorporate the best ideas proposed by truckers and engineers ; here are a few examples. The truck is capable of a 50° wheel turn angle. This, added to the cab’s shortness and some special steering refinements, makes it exceptionally maneuverable and one of the easiest trucks to steer. Proof of its maneuverability : the 89" wb tractor pulling a 40' semi can U-turn in 41'10". Critical areas of this all-welded cab are galvanized to protect against rust and corrosion. The engine, clutch, and transmission are all readily accessible because the cab tilts a full 45° (with one-handed ease). And routine servicing can be done without tilting the cab...for items like water and oil. High-level ventilation, variable-rate suspension, and heavy-duty electrical system are all standard.
Standard Equipment
Full-foam bucket driver’s seat with vinyl upholstery and seat belt Left and right armrests Dual long-arm mirrors Driver-adjustable hand brake Padded left sun visor Fresh Air heater/defroster Coat hook Rubber mat on cab floor Front and rear grab handles Love box with door Ashtray Dual dome lights Push-button door locks Variable-speed electric windshield wipers Windshield washers Options for the cab include : one full-foam passenger bucket seat and one center auxiliary seat, padded right sun visor, cigar lighter, rear corner windows, and tinted windshield and windows.
If your medium-tonnage tilts spend most of their time on short runs with a lot of idling included, you may want to consider equipping them with a Cummins diesel engine. It has the traditional staying power and long life characteristics of diesels. And Dodge offers it as a factory-installed option designed to save you money on installation first, then on any high idling operation.

Tilt cab ! ! ! This is one cool kit. Thanks for the review - excitedly looking for the build.

[@MrCocg1]

Built mine last month.. (different colors) Got an old Mopar to match... Sitting together... 👍

[@danielkemp4801]

Great kit and a great review too. Can't wait to see it built up. Looks great. Have a great day!

[@randytaylor1258]

This was originally s Lindberg kit, so no AMT parts. While the phone truck was a light duty half-ton, this tractor is very heavy duty. Its short wheelbase chassis and driveline is very well detailed.

[@myesenc]

I tried to build this kit a few years ago, the instructions were mostly in text, I never could figure out where the battery box went, it was a nightmare. Needless to say , it went in the junk box. It’s good to see more clear instructions. I’ll be looking forward to your build👍👍

[@johngligo4049]

Great unboxing and review Sir! Looking forward to the build!

[@user-xr1si1pr1g]

Hell Chris, built this kit years ago under the old IMC label. Not a kit for a beginner, with lots of fiddly small parts. Lindberg had this one with tankers and various flatbed trailers. Nice to see it return under the Round 2 label, and, the tooling still looks very crisp for an old kit.

[@danlewis3605]

I just combined the Dodge L-700 with the Garwood 900 kit. It looks awesome!

[@clebercampoy2049]

Hello Chris and plastic modeling friends! I'm in love with DODGE trucks, especially because they have spoked wheels, that's what we call Trilex and Dayton in Brazil! AMT was super kind in relaunching this wonderful LINDBERG Kit, which is super detailed. Nowadays, you no longer see KITS with this detail. Here in Brazil it is difficult to get kits like this, firstly because of our currency, which is very devalued to the dollar. I got an L 700 with an old fuel tank trailer from Testors/Lindbergh that I'm still going to assemble! I really want this new AMT kit! A big hug from Collector Cleber.

[@quickford]

Looks like they cleaned up the tooling from the old Lindberg releases. I still have one of those in the box somewhere; I built up the trailer but not the cab. Might have to refer to these new improved instructions if I ever do tackle it!

[@lylejohnston4125]

Those wheels are "Dayton" wheels. I love that side view.

[@maryfiltz800]

Looks nice - will be looking for the build.

[@lylebriggs923]

I'm thinking about ordering the L700 truck an flatbread race /show car trailer just not 100% decided yet

[@paulupson2899]

Hi Chris, interesting subject. As always a great review of this subject. I am going to definitely order one and look forward to your build

[@anthonyhendricks7377]

Will be a nice model

[@brettwilkinson8904]

Im going to flip the 66 decal and make mine 99. Nice unboxing video. Thanks Chris 😢

[@richardlee1092]

Before it was Lindberg it was an IMC model. I think they called it big rig. Thanks for the unboxing.

[@openexhaustmodels5139]

Brilliantly done mate👍

[@ST-cy6we]

Great kit

[@od1452]

I remember these trucks. Very 60s. Thanks.. nice review.

[@user-xg1ut3bm8u]

Hey Chris I'm loving this truck KUTGW

[@michaelcooke2559]

It is really nice to see two 60’s Dodge trucks. We have tons of Chevy’s and Ford’s, but only four Dodge truck kits. It would be really neat if Round 2 had included some more of the “66” decals so you could build a race car to go with the truck and trailer. One of the Modified Stockers would look really nice on the trailer. Nice unboxing. Thanks for sharing.

[@BamaScaleModels-vq7hk]

Hey very cool

[@alwynemcintyre2184]

I think they used to call them split wheels in Australia

[@brycewalat5321]

Love this! A perfect companion to a Charger, Challenger, Super Bee, Road Runner, GTX, Duster, Demon, Barracuda, Coronet R/T, or other Mopar muscle car or racer!

[@goforitpainting]

Cool model. 👍

[@clebercampoy2049]

Olá Chris e amigos plastimodelistas ! Sou apaixonado por caminhões DODGE, principalmente por terem rodas Raiadas é assim que chamamos as Trilex e as Dayton no Brasil! A AMT foi super carinhosa em relançar esse maravilhoso Kit da LINDBERG, que é super detalhado. Hoje em dia, já não se vê KITS assim com esse detalhamento. Aqui no Brasil é difícil conseguir kits assim, primeiramente pela nossa moeda muito desvalorizada ao dólar. Consegui um L 700 com carreta tanque de combustível antigo da Testors /Lindbergh que ainda vou montar! Quero muito esse Kit novo da AMT ! Um grande abraço do Colecionador Cleber.

[@mikemerritt1756]

Great looking model can't wait to see your build

[@mikereynolds1408]

Hi Chris keep up the good work on modeling builds. My name is Michael Reynolds and I have watched your videos. I saw your hair and I have not seen your face 👀 on the KZbin channel.

[@_Hurricane495]

I believe those wheels are called Trilex, and As always great video!

[@Guns_N_Gears]

Using fingernail clippers work excellent for trimming flashing on very delicate parts. Cant wait to see this! Not really a Dodge guy, but I really like the "pie tin" headlight bezel Dodges 👍👍

[@tbone7193]

Chris, what ratio of Simple Green to water do you use to clean your model parts?

[@BlueGillage]

Yes. Enquiring minds want to know.

[@johnclendinning1189]

This kit has been around for quite a long time and is definitely NOT for a beginner. One rendition came with a '40 Ford, which may be where those steelies came from.

[@rogerwachal3718]

Add the little red wagon, truck, and put little red wagon decals on it and you have the little red wagon race team truck.

[@kevinmadmaxfan8132]

I recently built this as the Lindberg truck and trailer with a 40 Ford 2 door the doors and mirrors are extremely fiddly

[@charlesmcclure5994]

👍👍

[@kevingladd980]

Old Lindberg kit

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

As if the original real manufacturer said "Hey... let's put the front end of our new van on a truck chassis to haul around some of them there racin' cars!". 🙂

[@Memorylanemodelcars2]

Main Difference in Cab is this Gas Semi Has 3 Piece Back Window

[@JosephPercel]

Others have posted videos of their build of the variations of the Dodge COE. They mostly don't turn out well. 🙁

[@alwynemcintyre2184]

Interesting how you call the drive section the tractor, in Australia we call that the prime mover, a tractor here is a farm vehicle. I guess it's different strokes for different folks

[@randytaylor1258]

Technically, it goes back over 100 years. A stationary was often called a donkey engine, but when they became mobile and self-powered they became known as traction engines, or tractor for short. Prime mover was the term for the unit hauling a heavy gun or howitzer.

[@BlueGillage]

We also call farm equipment tractors here as well.

[@JosephPercel]

An additional bizarre looking bug-eyed Dodge.

[@chucktaylor2772]

Killer.....

[@CarlSwafford-xp6gr]

Please build this ! 2:31

[@alexnoble3328]

Hey Chris was wondering if did a review on the Shirley muldowney mustang funny car? Look thru your vids and not seeing it ;(

[@hpiguy]

Stay tuned! Coming very soon.

[@mikebeaver8247]

is this the old lindberg or imc kit revamped

[@rogerwachal3718]

This is a copy of the Little Red Wagon race team, without the race truck, and just different decals.

[@monoeyemulisha7203]

Dayton wheels

[@THROTTLEPOWER]
