![]() Today's truck of the day is M2's 1966 Dodge L600 Tow Truck ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures on the real truck, please visit: Dodge A100 ![]() ![]() This Dodge L600 is from M2's Auto Trucks series. The L600 was based on the A100. Wikipedia doesn't have a separate entry for the L600, so I've used the entry from the A100. ![]() ![]()

Great looking truck/model. Nice details. Not sure the pure white wheels are the best color though. |

Great looking vintage Dodge Wrecker from M2 - something about those smaller cab over trucks always makes them look front end heavy. I agree, I think the wheels should be a different color.

The details are cool. This isn't a truck I would be at all familiar with, were it not for the M2. |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
Oooooh, first time I've seen this release. Great looking and would be perfect for diorama shots. I'll buy any scheme they come up with in the future. |

WARNING: Do NOT drop these trucks, or any other M2 wreckers. The tow boom assembly is extremely brittle plastic and it WILL break. A lot. My cat knocked one off of my diorama table onto a carpeted floor and the towing assembly broke into 4 or 5 pieces, pieces that were just too fiddly to super-glue back together. I'm not spending my money on another of these as a result. They look great - when they're all in one piece. |

what an awesome model- great series of shots. I only have the red version, but that green one looks great too. too bad about the casualty involving the cat... what a shame. |

Nice model. I've added one to the collection. Some design issues like the 5 bolt front rims and 10 bolt rear rims. Looking through some old pics and reference material, the front Budd rims should be 6 bolt rims. White rims could use a repaint. But these are all small potato's to an otherwise neat model.

I actually like the white wheels but the back doesn't look right at all. I think M2 needs a new boom piece because it just doesn't look right at all. Still like the model though, only because I love the L600 casting. |
