Mike 1948 1Ton Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 All three days, I usually stop and talk with any Dodge truck owners I see. Will have my '48 1 ton there. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanOlson Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I'll be there on Friday but truckless. Ed, I'll give you a call when I get on the grounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_MN Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I'll be in NE mlps Friday with my pickup but I'm taking care of my granddaughter. I'll be there by 8:00am so unless you are one of the early birds Ed, you could swing by for that rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 PM me some details. We're planning to attend the free drive in movie thursday night so I doubt we'll be up super early and over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave72dt Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I'll send my son by. He's planning oin going. My new job left me with weekend shifts so I can't make it, much as I would like to. There's another builder from the area that usually goes that you might see. Drives a flat black Packard, no top, walks with a limp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_MN Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) PM me some details. We're planning to attend the free drive in movie thursday night so I doubt we'll be up super early and over there. Ed did stop by and pick up the extra rim that I had. There was quite a Mopar reunion in front of my Sons house. Edited June 18, 2011 by Dennis_MN Added Convertible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggdad1951 Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 just got back from the show, started out about 9:30 till 2:30 when it started to pour. Watched Ed drive (never found him tho) and stopped and talked to Mike. Below are some Dodges I found there. I missed a few for pictures but here is what I got: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Yes we're home again now too. Got wet. Had fun. Not much for pictures yet due to rain. We'l be back at it again after supper if the weather clears and swap-meetin tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggdad1951 Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 50/50 on the swap meet for me. Don't really NEED anything, at least that I know of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Neither do I but that doesn't stop me from going. Only thing I'm really actively searching for is the firefighting backpack that goes on my running board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Had a much better time today. Hit the swap meet and then rode around some in the back of Dads 51 vert. Walked a bit too. Here's a few of the pics. First my personal truck at the MSRA sponsered drive in movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Another WC I love the styling of these D series international trucks Very cool homemade bed on this one. Guessing it was on a dakota chassis as it had a dakota instrument cluster in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 A stude with a dodge connection. Studebaker was running out of $ towards the end so in order to have a fleetside truck they bought beds from dodge. You can tell its not quite designed for their trucks as it sticks out a little bit from the cab. My car with another D series IHC And lastly my swapmeet finds.

Young Ed Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hank you should try to come sometime even if you don't bring an old car. Its now the largest car show in the country! I haven't heard the official tally for 2011 but the past few years have been approaching 12K cars all 64 and older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy49 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 The black B1 with L'il Red bed boards looks good. I've been considering that particular mod for years. I'd love to make that gathering some time. Goodguys had gotten so ridiculous I stopped going years ago. Those W series you guys showed just reinforce that I want both 39 and 59 1/2 tons to go with my 49 and 69. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 FYI the W series is 41-47. The 39s are T series and 40s V. Here's a 39 from a previous back to the 50s. Edit: this truck has the wrong headlights and hood ornament but you get the basic idea of styling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy49 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Close enough for me. But finding a 39 in any condition is proving difficult. The 2 I've found here haven't been run since the early 50s, they got worn out during WW2. Too far gone to even think about building one from the two. My wife keeps telling me I can't have a 59. If my 69 Sweptline had been a first series 65 I wouldn't have it either, she hates 4 headlight trucks. I'd settle for a 57. One headache at a time, I already have too many 4 wheeled projects.

Young Ed Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Thats a 41-42. I've been tempted a few times to add those stainless bars on the lower grill to mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
