Projects Project "Creeper"

ok some photos to share with ya...i was going to swap this onto a different frame but since it is running again i figured just enjoy the summer with it and decide later what to do....

 

nice big dent to remove yet....running pretty good so far??

need to bleed brakes but will order some speedy bleeders to put in...
started drilling drums and pulling studs through ...
removed rear bumper it was a home made job and looked hideous....

 

got to clean up the wiring a bit just wanted to make sure everything was running first...bumper and reflectors off this old farm beast

 

speed bleeders are ordered also oil filter to change that texas tea it has running thru its veins......

this will just be a low budget summer build then turn into a driving project...some new lights and stuff, exhaust work

 

Please dont do a frame swap. Lower it but keep all the stock stuff and make it a bomb. It's already awesome but it would be killer done as s bomb truck.

 

I just love old trucks. Enjoy that bad boy and keep us updated on your progress

 

just ordered the HEI Dist from Tom at Stovebolt for it....

really want this to eventually be a good cruiser and touring to take on long trips that wont take a week to get there in it lol

 

thinking about taking a leaf or two out on the back end, you guys think it will drop it too much with two ???

 

Why a frame swap? You can do so much with the frame thats under it, no matter what direction you want to go.

 

no frame swap yet, but it would be easier to do that frame up while driving it now

 

well i know some of you purist will be rolling over on this one but looks like it will be wearing 20's

 

i'll blame it on my helper it was all her fault

 

I just love it!
As it is or whatever you'll do with it!

 

Not a fan of those big wheels but i do have a creeper that matches that truck...lol

 

Great old truck, I love it!

 

No offence intended and you should do what you want with your project, but those wheels look awful. Put some steel wheels on it.

 

Please don't do a frame swap, it's tasteless and you will regret it. Trust me.

 

lol non taken, sorry man those steelies dont do a thing for me...seen too many on cop cars behind me NO THANK YOU!

even if i had yours those things would have to go bye bye quickly

 

hahaha no worries the wheels aint for everybody...but not trying to please anyone but me right now...love the creeper tho

 

think that would be 26's dawg and spokes lmao

 

Ive also have a creeper just like the one pictired. the wheels fit up inside making it low profile. gives you about 1&1/2 inch more clearance. I would put mine on the stove and warm it up during the cold winter. knida nice laying on a warm creeper under something when the floor was cold.

 

Thanks for posting pictures of your truck. It's good of you to get it on the road. The coolest old car or truck is the one that's driven. I'd rather go slow than not at all, and that flathead will take you many miles down the road. You did good taking some of that junk off the bed.

Those wheels look terrible.

Have fun!

 

thanks yeah not done yet, still some hokey wood on it yet will clean it up a bit more... and touch up with some rattle can for a temp fix...not gonna spend a lot on it right now too many projects going and really close to getting the '56 Plymouth i got on the road too


"well terrible, horrible or just down right disgusting their staying" and if they make people cringe then i did my job hahaha

 

Here's another one to give ya nightmares kiddies

Bwahahahaha



i'll remind myself to tell every one i see and im sure there are a few on here with newer rides too with an 04 -5 dodge truck that has these?
"Hey Dawg nice factory Dodge wheels" lmao

 

You lost me at 20s.

 

Hahaha im sure you wont be the only one, wait there's still more coming that will make eyes roll and heads bow down....take your heart meds!

But hey its running original drive train!

 

I think you're all being wound up here fellas...

 

love the truck.... but if you expect people "HERE" to support you on the frame swap, you haven't choose the correct forum to share your project...and for you to put those wheels on there is a complete slap in the face to what this forum is all about.....

 

Agreed!
