    The 1938 Dodge RC Pickup was transported from Joe Javis' shop to Denis Olvie's shop in October. Denis will restart the project. Links to a slideshow indicating the current status as arrived at Denis Olshove's shop and on a visit yesterday:

    Check out my newly refinished 1974 W100. Thank you for watching.

    Finally, some activity to report from Joe Jarvis. He has come up with a plan to get help finishing the project. Working on installing the new running gear to be able to transport the project to another person to finish. Anxiously awaiting to see progress. Recent photos follow:

    1974 Dodge W100 purchased new. Special order placed in the Fall of 1973. Delivered March 1974. Refinished by Jason The Rust Doctor in Grand Junction Colorado from March 3 to September 21, 2022. Before and After videos on YouTube at

    Too old to do the work myself any more. Been busy working on a cure for cancer the past two years. Haven't located another shop to finish the truck. Can anyone recommend one. We're located in Western Colorado. Thank you for the response.

    It is very embarrassing to admit when I make a mistake. Here's my free advice to anyone. Never start a project after the age of 70. Started the rebuild over 2 years ago. I'll turn 73 shortly and probably never see the '38 finished. As you can see, the last reported work be Joe Javis was the end of March last year. We heard he had gone to Alaska for the summer. Last fall we tried for months to contact him. Last winter we heard he fell off a roof and was seriously injured. Surprisingly, we finally contacted him at the end of March this year. We have waited several months to see if he will recover from the October fall of his neighbor's roof. Apparently, he has no plans to continue work on the truck, has no one to recommend to finish the truck, and has no money to compensate us for not finishing the job. We are left with a half-finished project, and over $40,000 invested. Oh, what a stupid I am.

    So I have had this truck since 2005 and we are finishing a full restoration. Surprise, Surprise. Just learned today that it has Fluid Drive. As some of you may know, I have several B-series trucks. This particular one did not have the Fluid Drive badges on the hood, and I never thought to look for the extended bell housing. Always drove it as if it had a standard 4-speed transmission. Read some of the previous threads on Fluid Drive, and can add some information. Apparently the Fluid Drive was first available for the B-2 model in 1950. I have a 1951 B-3-C-116 parts truck with the Fluid Drive and can verify it had the separate script badge on the hood, as one was still attached. I also have three 1953 Spring Specials with the Truck-O-Matic, and one 1953 B-4-D-126 with the Fluid Drive. The Truck-O-Matic and Fluid Drive badges are the embossed style attached to the Dodge badge on the side of the hood. Would like to have two Fluid Drive badges on this truck like in the attached file. Really don't want to take the two from the 1953 B-4-D-126. Let me know if you have any. Have the one from the 1951 B-3-C-116 to trade. Bought the two from Washington State. He has more parts available for a panel truck if anyone is interested. Of course I have many other trucks for parts or projects. Here are some links to videos on the restoration of the 1952 B-3-D-126 Flatbed Truck: Thank you for your interest.

    Joe Jarvis reports completion of the fender and bed metal work for now. Bed is ready for sand blasting. We are not planning on getting the bed floor to pristine condition. Want to see the bumps and bruises from 83 years of use, but do plan on covering the bed floor with bed liner for durability and sealing. Purchased a 1969 Dodge Charger Posi-Traction Rear End, since it would be too difficult to use the 2014 Charger Rear End. Before we pre-assemble the rear fenders and bed, we will complete the assembly and fabrication of the rear suspension and drive line. Looking forward to pre-assembly of the body, chassis, engine, and drive line. Need to get an updated video on the build. B.T.W. Joe Jarvis also reports the re-manufactured tailgate received from DCM Classics is very nice. The tailgate and hinges cost $590 delivered.

    1936 to 1938 are basically the same with minor trim details. https://www.allpar.com/d3/model/ram/ram-history.html Should be able to lift the bed with two young people.

    Latest update from Mr. Joe Jarvis: "Set doors on cab with the rebuilt hinges, made sure they fit before we body work them, next step is to seal and body work. Rear fenders are going to need done while bolted on bed. Left rear fender is about half finished. Hoping the motor mounts are done this or next week."
