So folks i just picked myself up a new project do do this winter should be alot of fun.The truck is a 1945 dodge half ton pickup that is 95 % rust free ,the rust you see is all surface rust ,i know its not Ford but its going to be a great resto project . I am inclosing a picture of my truck and one of what it will basically look like when done ,im going silver body and charcoal grey fenders
Those are nice even as rat rods. Terry, that picture you posted.... strikes a resemblance to you for some reason. Like maybe you back in your younger days or something.
That's Jon Reep, a great comic and star of a lot of those Hemi commercials. He might be offended at your comparison.
He may be offended, but do you see the resemblance yourself? I knew the guy was from the Hemi commercials but wasn't aware of the fact he was a comic. Jimmy, what motor are you putting in the thing?
That is one NEAT Dodge. I like a lot of the older Dodges. I feel a bit of camaraderie with them as both Dodge and Ford have always been treated like the Red headed step child. I really like the front end on that truck clint
Andy ,my pops says he is going to do some measuring,Dad thinks we could drop the body onto a 90 to 98 dodge dakota single cab with a feul injected 318 or 360,he thinks the wheel base may work with little modifying.,Thats are game plan for now .
To bad your not closer. We have a 98 Dakota single cab. It wasnt a 318 but a 4 cylinder. It'd be a good frame for you. The 4 cylinder blew up in it. My uncle had v6 extended cab. So we swappped all the good body parts onto his truck. So now its a beat up, non running single cab dodge truck. Im sure my brother would let it go cheap. But your forever away. lol
I love those kinds of trucks once your finished it will make a good birthday present for me get it ready by November 22 thanks.
Thanks guys ,but im keeping this truck as a weekend spring and summer worrior ,mybe tow my maverick race car to the track with a wheel dollie ,lol. Ive always wanted a old pickup to drive .
