53 Dodge B4B

[9 foot box]

   A friend stopped by last week. A few pictures of his truck on a 2006 Durango chassis, with longer bed sides, to fit the wheelbase. He said that he uses cruise control, because he is inclined to exceed the speed limits on secondary roads. I bought the stock parts from his project, and used the 4.1 rear to replace a 4.3 in my Dekalb delivery truck. I donated the Coronet hood ornament. I saw him last summer when I was getting gas for my 41 WC 1/2ton. He had just bought a 42 WC. We only talked briefly, but I’m sure, more parts will be bartered in the future. I’ve offered stock long block engines and parts to restore his new purchase, but I will just wait and see what direction he decides to go with his 42 resurrection. I don’t think he has the purist tendencies that I have.

Beautiful truck! Glad to see he stayed all MoPar.
