1947...Yet again....

[48Dodger]

I guess this is a gonna be a Holiday Tradition for me....for the third year in a row I've picked up a Dodge 1.5 ton. This Red Dodge was sitting on the side of the road next to a GMC 1.5 ton. Both were for sale and took 2 weeks of calling before the guy called me back. he said he had a bunch of calls on the GMC, but I was the first for the Dodge. We strucka deal and the rig is mine.

Personally, I hope this happens for a few more years. lol

THE NEW RIDE-2009

I like it. Have you signed these trucks into the 39-47 truck registry? Hey the new one has both its doors too.

[48Dodger]

lol. I bought a door from Reg for the Yellow 47....I should post an updated picture. The Red 47 is a "ran when I parked it"..."just needs a battery". Can't wait to see what it really is, kinda hopin' it runs. The Yellow is registered, per your help Ed. I'll do the same with the "new" one.

I think along with "new" you should refer to it as "red" unless you are counting surface rust as red too Now you need to find a parts truck one of these and send me some nice CA rust free stuff.

48Dodger,I bought this GMC CCKW 353 6x6 2 1/2 ton 1944 in 2005.Now in next january,25 2010 I will try the process of petition to get a title for it.The great problem is have a big:eek: garage in the city to a 2 1/2 ton truck.Its garage is in my father in law farm.

Tim you're always coming up with new things to see at your BBQ. I'm glad you have a place big enough to hold all this.

I don't know Bud...look at 'em?.....I love the "old" look...lol. I just hate seeing these trucks go unappreciated behind a barn, just rottin' away.

Yea...haven't run out of room yet..lol. I plan on throwing some boards on it and putting it near the Bbq as a BIG Bbq table.

Tim;

You must be approaching the legal limit on the number of old Mopars you can own. Enough is enough! If you dont ship your Charger race car to me I will have to report you to the Mopar cops:eek:

[48Dodger]

There's a limit???? Dang....someone tell Reg! He's my idol...I don't want anything to happen to him. Thanks for the heads up Don. Your #200 on the list of people who want my racecar when I kick it....I'll keep you posted. lol

Ok.....bit of a change! To make a long story short...the Red 47' went to another guy who may be at the BBQ this year. I believe that will be his first classic Dodge Truck.

I came across a Craiglist add for a 48 Dodge Truck and checked it out. Turned out to be a 1938 1.5 truck. Sooooooo.......I brought THAT one home. lol. It's got a "ton and half" of rust, but the boy is an awesome looking ride.

I plan on pulling both the 47 and 38 up the BBQ area and throw some boards on them for tables. Should look pretty cool. 48-53 Trucks are "the show"...but always room for the cousins, right? lol:D

[Young Ed]

Wow thats way cool. Did you get the headlights for it? Or the way cool leaping ram hood ornament?

[48Dodger]

Nahhh.....I was looking under the seat for any of the stuff, but no luck. The engine and running gear are complete. I plan on sanding it down and killing the rust, then putting some color on it to keep what steel it has left, alive and kickin'.

[Young Ed]

Ive got a couple leaping rams but I think they are all 39-40 versions. Too bad yours is missing. The styling in those is great.

Oh no Tim ! You got it bad man. I only meant to give you a little touch of my old truck obsession virus but I guess I gave you most of mine. I did notice right after I shook your hand for the first time that my collection began to shrink and has now gotten down to where I think you have me beat. So so sorry Grasshopper

Cool 38 though.

Now.....find one of these to save $ on future towing bills.
