Sweet Magnolia

Thanks guys for the kind words. I want to show you one more thing - and I'll bet you know where to give the credit that is due. I found a picture of this truck - and I laminated it, and hung on the wall of the shop. It has been our "goal picture" I'm pretty sure it's someone on this forum, if so, I bet you all know who it belongs to

Like I said, this is our first attempt at anything like this. Yes, the rear end is a mod for sure. Originally it came with a 411 rear end, but it has been changed to a 97 Jeep Cherokee (355), which fit perfectly & we can go over 40 MPH . We were totally against changing the engine, until the water distribution tube broke, and began to run out of time. We've got a 318 in it now. Here's a few pictures. I'm working on a video which I will share when it's finished. Don't be too critical, she was saved from a barn & was built on a budget. I took lots of pictures along the way - Lots of POR, sand paper & time!

She's not quite finished, but the goal is for the end of this month to be complete. Everything was restored by us, no outsourcing. We learned everything the hard way. This restoration that was asked by my Dad who is 83. He had saved it for 17 years in hopes of doing this restoration himself.

We just went through this last week. The only tires that would fit and look right was 235/60R15. They're really had to find, but managed to get Cooper Cobra's from Amazon. I have a 1948 Dodge B1B also Here's a link. Mine is almost finished. 2 year frame-off restoration https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QGZO8C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I am a POR15 fan my passenger side floorboard was rusted thru in several places too the only bad thing about it is- as was mentioned before,dont get it on your skin. Anyhow there are several YouTube videos on it and amazon has a starter kit you can get to try it. The POR fiberglass type material is used for holes its a 3 step process, follow the instructions & you will be amazed! I dont endorse any product but this one is absolutely the best. I have removed the rust and even refabricated parts that were entirely rust gone with this product. I am restoring my fathers dream (which is mine now) 1948 b1b pilot house original motor - transmizsion all original. We're doing a frame off and just wanted to share something thats made my job a lot easier & great quality. Not a cheep fix but a lasting one. Ive got some pics if anyone is interested. Its all about our Dodge baby!
