Ok all. After seeing the pix provided by Pork'n'Beaner I am going with the tail dragger. It just looks like something I prefer. I am not so sure...
My interest in the Gasser idea is both cost and time. I would have to get a front clip welded on and all the associated pars. I plan to get a...
Hi all, I have a 1939 DeSoto coup and am thinking about making it a Gasser. I think Speedway makes a straight front axle kit that would make it a...
Oh pretty! Not to sure about the wire wheels but that said it is rather bad ass. Did you change the engine?
Which "V-8 tranny" did you use?
I will guess. It is a Tape product? Am I close...anyone, anyone?
True. Oh I forgot I have custom front wheel breaks made by Mark Williams. The guy building my car talked him into making front breaks. So neaner...
It is a Jasper "racing" engine. 500 hp is expected but I have to find a dyno to prove it.
Why use a Chevy drive train rather than MOPAR? COST! I have a all MOPAR 49 Dodge and it was expensive to build. The 360 engine $4,500 Richmond 5...
I have the same car and have been looking into this kind of switch. Options include: buy a pre-smog C-10 and use the engine, tranny and back...
My 1949 Dodge. It is rather modified. :D
Got pix? Sounds cool.
The whole point was to avoid messing with the front suspension. I figured a running truck would be a fast short cut. The car in question is a four...
Ok, I will get a $1000.00 pre-smog V8 Chevy truck and just use the drive train if the back axel is the correct size. There is a place in Rancho...
Please elaborate on "track width"? My guess is you refer to the width of the rear axel? Oh oh, see I really don't know anything! Please be gentile.
Hey, Move the DeSoto onto the Chevy frame. If not I will use the Chevy drive train. I know it is not as easy as drilling 4 holes, but maybe...
Say, Anyone know if I can take a Chevy C-10 (pre-smog) long bed truck and stick my 1953 DeSoto Powermaster on it? See the info below. Thanks one...
Look on Desoto.org. Someone there may have a suggestion.
She got any Sisters?
How hot was it on the salt? In your pix it looks like you had storms, and people were waring sweatshirts. I always thought it was always over 100...

These cookies I hear so much about, but have never seen. :rolleyes: Are they in the shape of famous cars? Is there an official secret HAMB recipe?...
I run the 1950 Desoto (avatar) without a air cleaner and it shifts fine. I also have a 1952 six with a tip-toe and it ran without a air cleaner...
My 4 door 1949 Dodge. Very modified. :D
Say MrModelT, My Dad told me that Model T's had a "flapper" oil system rather than a oil pump. Is that true or was Dad nipping at the sherry...
