Old CWO Posted November 30, 2018 Report Posted November 30, 2018 Hello All, I have been a registered member here for a while but mostly lurk and/or search older posts for information. I thought I would finally contribute a little bit to the forum by posting a photo of my truck hauling our Christmas tree this year. Everyone like pictures of old Dodge trucks, right? 10 Quote
Don Coatney Posted November 30, 2018 Report Posted November 30, 2018 Great looking truck. You are not by chance overloaded are you?? Quote
T120 Posted November 30, 2018 Report Posted November 30, 2018 Nice truck - nice tree - flagging tape attached...we're on our way . Have a Merry Christmas! ☺️ Quote
Blue Posted November 30, 2018 Report Posted November 30, 2018 Fantastic truck. I really like a blue Dodge. I wouldn't mind seeing a picture of that 52 truck bed trailer either. Quote
Old CWO Posted December 1, 2018 Author Report Posted December 1, 2018 Thanks for the kinds words about the truck fellas. The trailer is unfortunately stuck in "pile of parts" mode right now and I don't have any photos. My bed for it needs major rust repair unfortunately so that project has slowed a bit... Quote
Dodgeed Posted December 1, 2018 Report Posted December 1, 2018 Great picture of your truck. Very nice looking. Pictures are always appreciated, especially of good looking, and seasonal, ones like yours. ? Quote

If it turns out like the truck, that is going to be a great combination. Quote

Dozerman51 Posted December 6, 2018 Report Posted December 6, 2018 Hello CWO. Do not mean to pry, but does CWO mean your a retired Chief Warrant Officer? Quote

Dozerman51 Posted December 6, 2018 Report Posted December 6, 2018 Thank you for your service. My older son is a CPO in the Navy. He’s a Crew Chief and a rated rated Rescue Swimmer on MH-60’s. Transfered this past May to NAS Atsugi with the family. He’s got about 1 more enlistment to go before retirement. That will give him about 23 years. Hope to go visit him in the new year. I like your truck. Is it stock? Does it still have the 217 flathead? Quote

Being a Chief is one of the best jobs in the military, you should be very proud of your son (even though he did choose the wrong sea-going service)! Thank you for the kind words about the truck. It still runs the original 218 flattie but there have been some concessions made to originality for the purposes of safety, reliability and modern driving. It now has front disc brakes, a dual reservoir master cylinder, Jeep rear axle, radial tires, electronic ignition, seat belts and so forth. Quote
Dozerman51 Posted December 7, 2018 Report Posted December 7, 2018 I’m sure it is a good freeway cruiser with the mods you have done to it. Nice color and the highlighted Dodge tailgate adds a finishing touch. I believe the Navy calls you guys Puddle Jumpers or something like that(Just kidding now). LOL. Quote
MBF Posted December 11, 2018 Report Posted December 11, 2018 I'd be leaving NY state right after the New Year's Holiday if I was driving this out to the barbecue. She cruises at 45! 1 Quote
