Makes me sick. I'm sure there were a few more options that would have been as cost effective......should be a crime to crush a vehicle older than 1970....should be a board made up of qualified auto enthusiasts who have the final word on wether a vehicle older than 1970 is sent to the crusher or whatever....just tired of seeing good cars who've survived this long get short changed. 48D

Just another option for you Bud, incase the truck doesn't come together in time for summer....lol:D 48D -
Who was it on the "car side" that just tooka tour of the eastside of the country? He visted members along the way in a teardrop. Looked like a lot of fun, something I wouldn't mind doin someday. When you hit the road bud, make sure you stop by and have a few. 48D

Clean looking ride Bud. Where did you find it? 48D

Mid body line (the line coming from the top of the fender) goes all the way to the door jam 48-50. The same body line stops half way across the door 51-53. Otherwise the doors will interchange. 48D black/gray: 1950 (48-50 style door) red/white: 1951 (51-53 style door)

This video I did might help. I agree that taking off the "doghouse" is a good way to remove the motor. Dan is working on his truck motor this winter, its a good thread to follow right now. http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/showthread.php?t=16161 http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/showthread.php?t=18010 48D

You mean......that's not a recent picture??? 48D

Ok..... Polysherical head engines (Dodge,Chrylser, De Soto) and the A engines (Plymouth) over lap but had different heads and different displacement numbers. The A engine developed into the LA engine (64-92). The 277 was the first A engine use by Plymouth in 56.......something like that, not trying to write a book here, but interesting just the same. Did my reading at http://www.allpar.com/mopar/poly.html

This is the only picture I found of a 54 engine bay....answers a few questions for me. So were all small blocks poly's? or were there other designs during the 50's (other than the hemi's). I noticed a 277 small bock in there somewhere. 48D

1954 241 poly 1955 259 poly 1956 269 poly 1957-58 315 poly 1959 318 poly Does this look right? What did the cross member look like 1954? Guess I'll be digging through the internet tonight. 48D

When you post...go down to to the bottom of the page. Look inside the box labeled "addtional options". click on "manage attachments".....from that point you can download from your computer. A seperate window will appear during the download and show you the limitations on the options for download. When you finish, you'll see a highlighted list of attachments in the "addtional options" box. Click on the "preview post" and check you downloads. Then post...ta da. In my opinion, the photo link pictures are better, but some guy's computers take awhile and it causes a bit of frustration. Really enjoying your project! 48D

Looks great Olddodgeguy! Nothing cooler than a straight axle Gasser. Got a name picked out yet? 48D

If you bring the Hemi, the girl, and the flattie.....I'll pay everyone's addmission...lol. 48D:D

This is the flyer from last year 48D

HEY! Who left the gate open?....A "car" guy got in here! lol. That's a heck of a shoe horn job Andy. Did you fit that block in there yourself in 73' or did you find it that way? Thats a good looking 230, I think I've seen that picture before. 48D

Just a reminder. This is a free site that works on donations. Lot of great info is at our disposal here, and helps in bringing all us Truck guys together. Its easy to forget someone is working in the background doing all the work necessary to keep this site active and awesome. I'm just a member of this forum, nothing else. I would be lost without the stuff I find here. Use the "Forum Donation Info" at the top of the page and lets keep this deal going. 48D

lol. Its all good, "frame and body" is gateway steel to all Mopar. Watch out guys, you might get like me and become an incurable Moparman. Smallblockjunkie: Awesome build. Been following it close. How 'bout a "youtube" type video of the frame mods before the body goes on? Hey REG! Got 1.5 ton fenders? 48D

Way to help the karma, dude! lol. Definately a prized tool. 48D -
Just a reminder the big party is coming up again on April 17th, 2010. It's time to get crackin' on your trucks so we can all get together and tell each other what should'a, could'a been done if we wuz rich. Oh yes,.. Hemi's pay double, and yellow trucks get in free. 48D

I got my throttle struck wide open while passing a cop once....turned out it was my foot....yea, got a ticket. lol 48D:D

Looks great George...with that much GM iron, you'll have more Chebby fans ticked than Dodge...lol. Looks like a Dana 60/Dana 44 axle set up. Is that a 208 transfer case? The larger tire set up made me think of clearance. Just thinking out loud here, but maybe 1.5 ton fenders would work better than the 1/2 to 1 ton style. Either way, you've put some work into. 48D
