Smog_guy Posted June 23, 2015 Report Posted June 23, 2015 "Rat" is not a good word, I know. But it fits... This one was made from a VERY rough 1939 or 1940 ex-military 1.5 ton Dodge truck cab. I saved it from being crushed... I then took the 1941 Dodge PU frame and Z'd and C'd it, installed a motorhome BB Dodge w/torqueflite, 1953 New Yorker big drum brakes all around w/ New Yorker rear end. Using a 1977 Dodge van wiring harness...ouch! Slowing me down... Bed is unusual Knox grain bed turned INSIDE OUT for effect (I like the little pyramids). Whay do you think? About two years of grinding away in it... 3 Quote
