Thanks, Dave. That is a great help in visualizing a ute version. Red is appropriate for a firetruck. Moreover, my Father and my Wife say that...
Thanks madfish. I like it! Would be the easiest option for me.
Looking for ideas for the nether region of a custom truck, a jailbar with the bars removed. Cab has been widened, doors lengthened, fenders...

Thanks, rockable. Lots of work, but it sure makes the cab more comfortable for cruising. Like your Plymouth.
Here is a 40-47 Ford cab under construction. Doors have been stretched 6 1/2" and the cab widened 5" (6 1/2" in back to maintain the slight wedge...

I have a 39 Deluxe Tudor queued up ... after I finish an OT "Low & Slow" 56 Dodge truck. History of the 39 is unknown, but it was obviously...
Your panel could very well be original. During that era, Dodge did not seem to have any rules when it came to model changes or registration year...
In 1961, the husband of my Mother's secretary let me drive his 1959 F.I. Corvette. Alone! He told me not to over-rev it. I didn't. Close, but...

My next project. 1939 Deluxe. Last registered in north Georgia in 1973. Way back, somebody hot rodded it and had a very smooth repaint. The thin...
From what I have read in books about Dodge trucks, the "funny business" likely came from Dodge. They changed beds and other parts throughout the...

Like skiviskaves, I love the original lines and have a 36 Dodge coupe that I do not plan to chop. But it is very interesting to look at artist...
Original mounts I recently removed from a 1956 Dodge PU are 1 1/4" high, front and rear of cab.
I don't claim to be an expert on Dodge frames, but from what I have seen and read, the 54-56 frames should be the same. They differ from 48-53...
My mistake-- bed is actually 6 1/2'. Previous owner told me 7 1/2 and that stuck in my mind because it looks that long w/o tailgate. Also, the...
Pic attached. I measured again. It is 60" and goes to the front of the door. Measured bed as well. 7 1/2'. Looks original, and I have...
Interesting! I have a 56 long bed original and the running boards are 5'. Big rear fenders (stock), 7 1/2' bed and 116" WB.
New Project!! 1956 with 270 Poly engine. [IMG]
Tanksinc.com lists one for a 39-47 truck. If that cannot be made to work, one of their universal tanks may work. I have been pleased with their...
