Steel body titled 26 T, steel A bed. Numbers matching '67 427ci Chevy, quick change rear end. I don't know a ton about this car, it was my dad's...
Out of mostly intrigue I added the guy on fb. All he does is complain about how many emails he is getting and how injured he constantly is,...
Just read this thing through from beginning to end, took a bit of a sad turn at the end here...
Very cool and clean look!
I couldn't help but think to do the same exact thing you are MoparMan, the front panel is basically what is sold as a 'reproduction' tailgate now...
Nice work cornfieldcustoms! I like the inner structure idea of yours unkamort, makes sense to make it substantial enough to do work with like that.
TailGATE, not tailLIGHT.
The tailgate that came with the Dodge bed I got for the '58 is thoroughly hammered. I know there are plenty of these style tailgates roaming...
Dave, I got crap for a SBC in my Dodge as well. Everyone wants to talk about what you SHOULD be doing, you know what's best for your build, F...
Going to rehash this thread. I scored a bed (FINALLY!) for my 58 D100 and have been slowly stripping the paint from it with stripping discs and...
You have got a great eye for the details and a great hand to bring them to fruition, great looking project so far. Love the air cleaner and seat...
It's never done!
Never done kingpins personally but my experience in trying to pound things in when they should be machined leads me to say that you should just...
Getting going on the 58 Dodge D100 again and my rear leaf springs and U-shackles are a mess. Rather than piecing it all back together again I am...
Engine turned out to be a 218. $300 if you wanna come get it w/o the Holley on it.
As I previously stated the gear is definitely apple cored pretty much as far as it could have been. The valve itself is working sometimes, other...
The truck stopped shifting out of first and after looking around online for a while I decided to pull the governor and take a peek. Sure enough...
I'll keep that in mind. I'll probably be keeping them on the truck though.
Congrats. Jumping through those hoops always sucks. I'm sure the end result is worth it though.
After a few weeks I finally got another shot to work on the Dodge and had an excellently productive day. Started out by getting the truck on...
I had thought about notching the frame but I don't want to go that route when there are so many options available to me. I'll have to suck it up...
Engine will and can probably go up another inch or two from the first pic. As you can see the fuel pump was right on the frame when I took that...
So in doing an engine transplant I am faced with some tight clearances between the exhaust manifolds and the frame that I'm not comfortable with....
I've been thinking about this more today. Does anyone think a set of block hugger headers would clear the frame? Would my best best be some rear...
Well as I mentioned in another thread I decided to pick up a SBC a little early for the truck. $400 later I've got the engine and trans and got to...
Well you guys can keep up the pissing match you've got going on here if you'd like. All updates will be in my original thread now though.
Ended up getting the engine and trans for $400, sitting in the bed of my ford now. The 230 comes out tomorrow and the sbc going in will be a short...
Well I'm sure the 3 Mopar folks in Northern CA will be shaking their fists at me for eternity over this but I think I can get over it. I've got...
I'm heartbroken. Truck may be up for sale again in the future but as of right now it's a project for me this winter as construction is...
The truck has been for sale on this very site before and I got not a single bite from anyone on it. Didn't realize I was committing some sort of...
