Reg Evans Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 Congrats on the new truck Kevin! Lots of helpful guys here so ask away !!!! It would be helpful for us if you fill out a profile. I'll post your photo for you if you'd like. Send it to me at regoevans@sbcglobal.net. Quote
1952gary Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 You will enjoy your 52. I purchased one last year in running condition. Its waiting for its turn for new paint and enterior. I drive it daily and enjoy the ride. Lots of people stop and ask about the year and looks. Currantly working on my 1964 dodge 440. Love the mopars. Quote
Merle Coggins Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 Atta Boy Kevin. Welcome to the family. As Reg says, ask away. Not many questions here go unanswered. And the ones that do are usually because it's got everyone stumped. But you'll probably get a lot of ideas from it anyway. Merle Quote
Reg Evans Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 Here's Kevins new truck. Hey....it looks like mine. Same color and same low sided bed. The truck looks very solid and straight. I like the compass and the spotlight ! Quote

Reg Evans Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 Hey, I just noticed that your truck has a fluid drive emblem. Does the truck still have the fluid drive? Quote
woodscavenger Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 Looks like his original post mentioned the fluid drive. Does is still work? Quote
chucky07 Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Posted October 17, 2007 yeah..its got the fluid drive...everything is original..have the fluid drive badges on the side of hood..but missing the dodge badges on the sides Quote
Guest OldschoolJay Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 looks good, mine also has the low side bed. have fun with it, can be frustrating sometimes LOL Quote
Young Ed Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 I wonder if the low side bed=using up leftover 39-47 bed sides? They sure look the same. I can't even begin to list all the things I've had to do over on my truck. It was all apart when I got it and I've had to guess or experiment. I already had to swap manifold sets so I could use the proper carb linkage and then had to swap my exhaust pipe because it was hitting the bellhousing. The cab has been remounted like 3 different ways to get the doors to stay shut and the hood to line up! Ya I almost fell out on the freeway one day.................. Quote
