    After two years of working on my maverick and the other one i restored ,im putting the Orange 69.5 EFI 347 stroker 5 speed Grabber clone on the back Burner. Im starting a new resto project as of this week ,my 1941 dodge half ton short box pickup,it will be a 2/2 look great from 2 feet away or 2 miles an hour,lol. These pics are what it looks like , between myself and my friend Dean i have three trucks to rob parts from to make one good one.All three are 90 percent rust free,mine will be a silver truck with gun barrel grey fenders and running boards, looks original with modern running gear,360 with a 3 speed with overdrive auto , Plymoth Valare front suspension,Deans will be a Rat Rod ,mine will be a easy resto.:HandshakeJimmy

    They are Great looking trucks. I always want to get one and restore it as a Coca Cola delivery truck.

    In my neck of the woods the 39 to 46 Dodge half ton is really rare,not very many around . Ive seen two restored in the last 15 years around here ,mine will be a all metal truck ,no fibreglass fenders like most ive seen that have been restored.
