'51 Hemi

[Jim Shepard]

Saw this truck a couple of days ago right here in town. Both he and I have lived in the area more than 20 years and we've never seen each other before. He says he drives this thing every day. I was blown away - especially when I looked under the hood. A 331 Chrysler Fire Power! The only modificvation to get it in was flipping the radiator to the front of the support frame and moving the steering box back to clear the Hemi's starter. I took this with my cell phone so the quality isn't too good. I'll try and get some better pics next week when we both go the local drive again. It was nice to see two Dodge trucks there. His was the hit of the evening, though with those big chrome valve covers.

He's got Ford rotors and Polara calipers, a '57 truck steering box, Ford 9" rear end and everything else is bone stock. I really nice job.

Jim, Nice truck. Thanks for the pic. When you get a chance to take more pictures, can you get some close ups of the sun visor. I'm curious about the position of the side mounts and how much it clears the hood. From the picture it looks pretty good. Some I have seen sit way up high on the roof and they looks pretty bad. Thanks, Jim Roach
