NiftyFifty Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) Decided I would fill the big mouth opening with a custom grill, and had a buddy C&C me a new DODGE emblem for it...too many questions of what the truck is, so I put a name back on it.

B1B Keven Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Someone put a '51 or later front clip on your truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiftyFifty Posted June 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 51 grill and hood, all the rest is 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhelm1953 Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Clean and simple, I like it! What did you use for tubing? The Dodge emblem is a nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiftyFifty Posted June 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 3/4” OD tubing that’s way heavier thickness then I wanted, as I welded all 6 together to start, and heated and bent together to keep them uniform. Took a lot of heat and a lot of patience from my wife, then bent the centre V piece from 3/32” plate....again...not really much fun, but I’m happy with the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desotodav Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Looks good. I saw this one on FB the other day (attached pic) and it looks like he had similar design thoughts as you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiftyFifty Posted June 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Never seen that one before, nice colour scheme and I like the chrome visor. I never did like the front bumpers, hence mine shaved and now hidden behind the front sheet metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great Shane! Hate to say it but even with the name on it, i still have people calling our flatbed an "international" (and we have the three name badges on the front....) hopefuly folks in your area are smarter, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiftyFifty Posted July 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Oh no...that’s the #1 thing people call mine too...but for the last few years I just told them it was a secret...even though I typically have a sign in front of it saying exactly what it is..LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
