Young Ed Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 Me too but I have one already! Mines not quite that nice but its fun. Interesting they appear to have gotten a few parts from a blackout truck. All 4 interior handles and the speedometer. I still prefer the lower grill painted black even though I see them both ways.

Plymouthy Adams Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 it is very refreshing not to see the word "resotation" used at any time...a well written ad..looks to be late 50's Plymouth engine Quote
Desotodav Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 What a great looking old truck. Would have been nice to see it finished underneath as well though. Desotodav Quote
dontknowitall Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Posted October 2, 2012 Yes, agree Davin but still a nice truck. What a great looking old truck. Would have been nice to see it finished underneath as well though.Desotodav Quote
greg g Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 Have never noticed a cast iron internal bypass outlet before. Wonder why they decided to leave the frame au natural when so much workd was done of the rest of the truck. Quote
Young Ed Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 Perhaps they didn't remove the body from the frame at all when fixing it? Seems unlikely since a truck is pretty easy to remove from the frame and you almost have to in order to get the back of the cab and front of the box painted nicely. Otherwise maybe they painted it poorly and drove it enough that it rusted again? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 many people give the body and interior the ole once over but items like trunk, engine bay and under carriage gets totally by passed...I will not make excuses or try to deduce their reasoning...I always considered it a short cut to the highway..but then I do not follow the norm on many things..

pflaming Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 Question: If that were a chevy or ford of the same year +/- would the price be different? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 as i see it, still just 11.5 cents a pound at the crusher... Quote
Jim Roach Posted October 3, 2012 Report Posted October 3, 2012 This is a classic "frame up" restoration not a "frame off" restoration. This is kind of a short cut to a great looking truck. Quote
