Hello - just joined forum. Had a crazy moment end of last year and sold a completely finished old bowtie truck and after looking at everything on Facebook Marketplace an Craigslist for 3 months I purchased an older 1948 Dodge project truck. Reasons I got it, besides being first mesmerized by the beautiful original flathead 6 cylinder, and then finding I was easily able to get my 6' 5" frame into the seat, was I thought it would be a challenge to find missing parts compared to finding parts for Fords or Chevys of same era; I was right about that one. The truck also has the original 3 speed manual transmission - it needs to be rebuilt or upgraded. It runs, and stops (both slowly). The rear was swapped out - looks like a chevy rear end that cruises well at 60 MPH. The interior and wooden bed were stripped for replacement. She sits in mainly white primer. So far I've used EBay, DCM, and SRPM for parts. Thanks for working with me in advance. I'm sure I'll need the collective forums advice.
