This site has tailgates listed w/o a pic, but its a start....
Your truck looks very solid! Repop gates sell for about 300. Most originals I have crossed are not worth buying......
As of now, the only extra parts I have are motor/tranny related, as I am putting in a V8/auto.
Decided to left the cab off the frame last night; the rest of the frame can now be reached and the bottom of the cab will get the treatment as...
Good info! The inner bearing is exactly the issue I am having. None of the kits I have found have the adapter. The rest of the kit is common...
That does sound like a lot of work! lol I have had this truck long enough to have rebuilt the stock brakes twice. I really don't have any...
So far the front end is staying stock, though i'd like some disc brakes up front. I have searched and searched for a "bolt on" kit, no luck. I...
Started cleaning the 318 for paint. Decided to alter the oil pan to make room for the tie rod, opposed to altering the steering. Cut the pan to...
Cab raised to pull splash aprons and running boards.......slowly cleaning frame to bare metal as I go.........the old wooden front mounts were not...

Yes, it has; my father got it from an Uncle I never met, he had it for 30+ years before I got it. My son is 7 now, he claims this over the 70...
The truck was handed down to me with the bed completely dismantled. She's solid now but the tailgate has a long way to go. The original straight 6...
Thought I'd start a thread on my PT50. This is a family owned vehicle. Will try and post some chronological pics. Feel free to ask questions or...
Got a little time in on another project tonight! Pulled the front fenders/hood off of my 37 Plymouth TRUCK! Will be stabbing a 318/727 combo in it...
Thanks again for all the greetings! Way cool............
Started a bit of 'demo' on the Vicky last night. After taking the 'saws-all' to the rusty hardware, all the soft wood pretty much just fell off....
Hello everyone! My newest project landed me here, so might as well "show and tell" to get the ball rolling. Just sold my 30 Coupe to a fella in...
