Picture thread of car quarters used to make pickup beds

Triied searching for a thread no luck I'm thinking of a "Different bed fabricated for my 36 chev pu I was thinking something along the lines of narrowing one of these and then fabricating a contoured front panel to match the cab.


Any pictures of other makes done this way?

 

I could be wrong but I thought I heard that Dodge actually made a pick up model using the quarters of one of there wagons. And if memory serves me correctly someone just posted one up on a thread. I'll try to find it.

 

Search Spacetruck and Ovaltine.

Here is the Spacetruck.

here is my truck, I used a 1958 Dodge Coronet rearend to make the bed of my truck attached to a 1936 International Cab.

 

Ya that's the stuff i'll try the searches!

 

A couple I have saved.Hope they help.

 

OOOOOOOh does anyone have more pictures and information of this one?

 

The bed sides are 61/62 Mercury Comet,in post #8.

 

Here is Mine from years ago, It got a lot of people to build Their own versions. Von Doc

 

Well come on don't be shy are there any more? I wish I could show You guys the model car versions that people sent Me pix of but they were on My puter that crashed, I was stoked that My truck caused such a stir, and when Plowboy asked if He could build a copy of My truck( His Spacetruck) I was jazzed, I think everyone's trucks have turned out great and I took this chance to save the pix of this post, here is a shot of Mine from the front. Doc

 

Keep em comming, there has to be more! Too the top.

 

Found this in a 1959 issue of Hot Rod :

 

That was cool! When was that taken? What event?

 

a local car show a couple years back.

IIRC he had to run in the unlimited class with the blower. He ended up in the top of the class, on bias plys, with a grain truck steering box (52 turns lock to lock), no necker knob.

 

How about a 'factory' version of the same
idea??!! Dodge used modified quarter panels
from the '57 Dodge station wagon to build
the '57 through '59 Dodge and (Canadian)
Fargo Sweptside pickups.

dodge truck cab, 51 buick dash, 56 new yorker back half. and a 354 hemi. This year the engine is being updated with a 671 blower, and a race glide trans. It just needed to be faster.

I just ran across this one again, seems like it was featured in Hot Rod awhile back.

 

Somewhere on here was picture, maybe a photoshop, of a Black 1959 ElDorado on a COE hauler with "super size" 1959 Caddy skins for bed sides that kept me up for weeks. It's still on my bucket list.

 

Mad Max is alive and well, and living in North America.

 

Ohhh, I couldn't find the image and figured Photobucket ate it. Any chance you could repost the image of the car on the truck in the desert?

 

Here is one that moose photoshopped for me, 52 dodge with 52 plymouth suburban bed.
Both of which I already have.
I would defiantly need to up my game to complete this one.

 

I think Rotten Leonard closed this issue.
