Geographical Distance of So Cal Pilot-House Trucks

[Ruddigger]

The ribs on the dash do not extend all the way down. It has '40 headlights and 41-47 cowl lights, and the whole thing is a little cock-eyed on the frame.

Welcome to the family. While the B-Series Pilot-House trucks tend to dominate the forum we welcome all early Dodge trucks. Hence the name change to "Mopar Flathead Truck Forum" from "Pilot-House.com Forum".

 

Nice looking truck.

Welcome, the forum has changed to cover ALL flathead Dodge trucks, so no biggie, we've got a few here with that era truck.

 

I wondered why the name change but what about Poly head people. Afterall not everyone has a flat head. Andy has a truck like yours, (below) he's not a forum member and is definately missing out. Lucky wefound/youfound us.

 

 

Welcome (I'm in Torrance)

So you have a postwar cab and a 40 front clip. The other way to tell is the front cab mounts. Are they below the level of the frame with a block of wood between cab and mount or above it with just a rubber cushion?

Welcome Ruddigger;

I like your truck. When you get a chance post some more photos.

Welcome aboard Ruddigger.  I'm relatively new as well but that's one beauty of a truck!

Most definitely.  Once I get my truck running and it's safe for the road I'll drive it finished or not.  I still would like to set something up at the house to wrench and what not.

Hey guys, new member here. It's not a Pilot House, but I recently picked up this truck. It's registered as a '40, but I doubt it really is because of the cowl lights. (Couldn't find the number on the frame, and the engine is swapped out with a '50 Dodge 230.) Anyway, I'm a SoCal guy trying to fix up this mickey moused truck and find others to learn from. Seems like I found the right place. (Hope you don't mind me crashing your Pilot House party, I didn't see a new member introduction section, this seemed as good a place as any.)

 

 

Welcome aboard! Another truck with the old school PG and E colors!
