1966 Dodge L700 COE with Holmes 500 Wrecker
This is my replica of a 1966 Dodge L700 COE with a Holmes 500 wrecker bed.
This model features fully functional winches for the wrecker bed complete with animated gear assemblies, a functional underlift, fully functional leaf spring suspension, steering linkage, driveshaft, steering wheel, pedals, shifter, rotating beacons, and a plethora of details including deck lights, a tool box, dolly wheels, fully modeled engine, transmission, exhaust, and a custom livery. The wrecker can be operated with levers and switches located on the dashboard, behind the driver, and on both sides of the wrecker bed itself.
I wanted to make a wrecker that functioned as well as it looked, something capable of towing a vehicle even on harsh terrain. The result is a wrecker that is more clingy than your ex.
HISTORY:
The Dodge L700 was Dodge's attempt to compete with Ford and GM's Medium Duty tilt cab trucks. It was essentialy the front cab of a Dodge A100 Van with large fender flares placed atop a Heavy Duty truck frame. The result was a Frankenstein's Monster of a truck that looked quite unique compared to other tilt cab offerings of the time. It's extremely short wheelbase allowed it to maneuver city streets and back alleyways with ease and it's cab-over-engine, or COE design granted drivers superior visibility when compared to traditional medium duty trucks. The L700 was offered with a 225 Slant 6, a 318 V8, a 361 V8, a 413 V8, as well as a Cummins V8 and a Perkins I6 for heavier loads.
Production lasted from 1966 to 1971.
In 1913, Ernest Holmes created the first tow truck when he modified his Cadillac to fit a wrecker that used a series of poles, chains, and pulleys. He patented his invention in 1918, and thus the Holmes brand of wreckers was born.
