wallytoo Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 pics of dad's 52 b-3-c fluid drive. was last driven, where parked, in his garage in 1987. thinking about suggesting my youngest get it back road-ready as a "senior project" next year. mostly needs rewiring, as electrical issues were the primary reason for parking it (much of the original cloth wiring was disintegrating, and although a previous owner had converted it to 12-v, with an alternator, it was still using the VR). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd B Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I sure miss green grass and flowers. Awesome pic with the wild flowers. We put in a large area of wild flowers last year on my back fence line. You gave me a great idea for my trucks this summer. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fargone Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Hello all I just found this site doing research on my 1951 Fargo. What a wonderful resource you people have developed here. I can see I'll be making use of your expertise as I move ahead with my project. I'm a complete new comer to this vintage, but I've fallen in love with my truck. I plan to do a complete mechanical rebuild with the usual upgrades as money and time allow. This is how she looked the day I bought her. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 What a nice find. That old surface will clean and look amazaing. no need to paint. See Dolly Dodge truck. Welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent B3B Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 here is one of mine took a little over one year but today I made it to the black top (give me something to haul ) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fargone Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I plan to leave the patina as untouched as possible but, there are a few areas that need welding / replacing . I've been working on wood replacement in the box the last few days. This task turned into a father son project, my father is a retired carpenter and he is milling all the boards. He's having a great time. I've found a 1 ton FN2 series but, the body is different the hood is about an inch longer than mine which is disappointing because it was perfect. The doors seem to fit and I'm hoping the 228 4 speed in the 1 ton will fit my 1/2 ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desotodav Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 I haven't had much time of late to get my blue 52 truck out for a run, but I did manage to get it all cleaned up again before driving it to a local car show today... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pflaming Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Just went through this thread. It's a great history lesson on these trucks. I noticed I haven't posted current pics of my '52. It's back on the road but will take a summers work to "detail" it. For recent lookers, the truck was in my garage when it burned down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobacuda Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I put these on a recent post, but what the heck. Attached is a photo is my '53 Dodge back in the winter of '78 at the Aquatic Station, Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos, TX. We are about to head to Canyon Lake to work on our graduate research. After lots of trials and tribulations, I finished rebuilding the truck on May 28, 2016. attachment=61739:Bob's Truck.jpg] 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Not mine. Saw this today. What is year, model, etc. possibly headed to some car auction. The driver was pulling out so took these as he left. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Oil Soup Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Here is a photo of mine with the bed reinstalled. Will be removing it to complete refinishing the wood. Also working on hooking up the e-brake cables to the original handle under the dash and continue the rewiring job. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
