wendleburger Posted November 28, 2010 Report Posted November 28, 2010 I love this thread! Here is my 49 I've brought back form the dead with locally available components. Not much Dodge left unfortunately. Few little things to finish off before I can drive it. Quote
Dave72dt Posted November 29, 2010 Report Posted November 29, 2010 How much of a channel do you put into it? Quote

Not much Dodge left unfortunately. Few little things to finish off before I can drive it. WOW! So you took a big truck and cut up the fenders to fit when you lowered it ? That's 1 big wheel well:D Quote
wendleburger Posted November 29, 2010 Report Posted November 29, 2010 How much of a channel do you put into it? No channel, I didn't have to. The factory "channel" is pretty substantial when it sits over a lower slung frame. Quote
wendleburger Posted November 29, 2010 Report Posted November 29, 2010 WOW! So you took a big truck and cut up the fenders to fit when you lowered it ? That's 1 big wheel well:D Yep, I moved the wheel opening up and forward. About 2" either way, I cut them out off centre and swapped them left to right. This is what this truck looked like when I found it, very sad compared to all of the beautiful machines on this site. 1 Quote

1951woody Posted November 30, 2010 Report Posted November 30, 2010 Here is our 1951 woodie: I'm not sure why it's titled as a 1951, even though it's got the older front clip and dashboard. It is all original as far as I know, though the history before about the mid-70s is unknown. Currently sitting on the frame/drivetrain and a 318 from a mid-80s D150 pickup, though we still have the original unmolested frame/drivetrain. Quote
moparmonkey Posted December 1, 2010 Report Posted December 1, 2010 Here is our 1951 woodie:I'm not sure why it's titled as a 1951, even though it's got the older front clip and dashboard. It is all original as far as I know, though the history before about the mid-70s is unknown. That is an awesome truck! As far as being titled as a '51, it happened a lot to the trucks from this era. A lot of them were titled as the year they were sold, and not by the model year. In the case of the woody, my guess would be that it was probably purchased by the coach builder, and then built up as a woody. Since that process might take some time, the truck was probably bought in '50, then sold sometime in '51, and titled as a '51. You could probably verify this by checking the ID # on the door and comparing it to the model year numbers. If you put the ID number in this decoder, it should tell you the model year of the truck... http://www.t137.com/registry/help/decode.php Quote
buds truck Posted December 1, 2010 Report Posted December 1, 2010 my 53 currently being worked on. top is chopped, had the doors suicided, but did not like the safety issue so I reversed the process and made them stock again, it sits on a 91 Dodge Dakota frame with a 68 318 and a torqueflite in it. 1 Quote
jdrader2 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Posted December 1, 2010 Here is our family's 1950 woodie. Purchased new by my grandfather in 1950. Restored by my father in the 80's. I have lots of old pictures from the 50's with my grandfather, dad, etc in the truck. Still runs great but needs some brake work (winter project). The picture with the boy is my father in approx '51 with a pretty new woodie in the background. I still have the water bag that was hung off the bumper to keep drinking water cold. Jeremy 2 Quote
