52Suburban Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 I think it is a 3/4 or 1 ton has dually wheels in the back - no bed & is that a 318 engine?? 1 Quote
NiftyFifty Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 The vin would help, it's 54 or newer, and it looks like a 318, but without a block number, it could be a 360 or ??? Quote
Jeff Balazs Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 Looks like a 56 to me. Very hard to say what it is worth from that photo.......but some came with a poly V8. 270 in think. I have seen a few non runners here at between $1000 to $2000. Jeff Quote

I have seen a few non runners here at between $1000 to $2000. Jeff I think the circle dodge badge on the hood means it came with a 6. I believe that was replaced with a V on the v8 trucks. I agree I see wrap around windshield which means late 55-56 model. Quote
52Suburban Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Posted June 5, 2015 This can be mine with a pink slip for $600 what do you all think? My only real issue is space for it while I finish other projects..... May be becoming a hoarder???? Quote
jeffsunzeri Posted June 5, 2015 Report Posted June 5, 2015 You could part it out and make the $600 back if you're just looking for value. With a little work, that would make a great service truck. Quote

Agreed on both points, the engine could eventually go in my suburban & I could part it out Or I could turn it into an RV to use with my wife for travel when we retire (soon) Depends on what storage costs....

Go for it! i would suspect your leaning that way.... after all if your addicted to food you can't to go to an all you can eat buffet and expect someone to talk you out of eating. "welcolme to the all you can eat Dodge buffet, can we slice you a nice piece of Mopar pie" .......... ! the above exchange makes sense now. at the BBQ this year my wife was talking to ggdad1951 trying to complain about the trucks at our house. He looked at her and said, "your talking to the wrong crowd...." (high five brother! ) 1 Quote
cavisco1 Posted June 6, 2015 Report Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) I think that's an "A" series polysphere V8. It's not an "LA" series 318 or 360. If it's an original '56 model, then it will be a 277, but other displacements are 301, 303, 313, 318, and 326. It's been a while since I messed with polys, but I seem to remember there were some differences between early and late polys with belhousing and timing cover/water pump changes from '62 to '63. Later model '63 to '67 318 polys share the same bellhousing bolt pattern as the later model "LA" engines. Others that are more knowledgable may have better info than myself, so please jump in and correct any of my mistakes.These are good performing small V8s and are very durable. There is a very active 318 poly group on Yahoo Groups and some of those guys are getting some serious power. Is that a small 4-barrel carb? If so, I would hold onto that manifold and carb. Very hard to find. Edit: The intake manifold is a one piece design with no valley pan and the scallops in the valve cover make me think it is a poly 318. Scott.
