Dodge L 700 Ramp Truck
Posted: Sun Jan 07, 2018 10:16 pmThis started out as a Tyco HO railroad accessory truck. I cut the cab from the chassis and then removed a section of the body behind the rear wheels to match the actual truck. I added the flaring and step plates to match the real truck also. I then painted it blue and white and added some emergency lights to the roof. The plastic ramp body is from a Hot Wheels die cast. Details on the ramp body were picked out with some paint. The rear fenders were used from the truck, I cut them from the chassis and glued them to the ramp body. The cab and ramp body were glued to a piece of sheet plastic. Some mounting posts were made from some plastic tubing. It is all mounted on a T-Jet chassis with original Aurora truck wheels. The front bumper and fuel tanks are from die cast cars and trucks.
