Don Coatney Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Just had a nice visit from Tim Adams and both of his wives Sally and Margaret. He brought us one of his fresh rasin pies. We all enjoyed a romp in the..... er what I was going to say a good meal and lots of laughs. Lisa and I both enjoyed there company. Tim was hauling home his latest trophey. Anyone want to take a guess as to the year of this Dodge truck? Tim also picked up the original engine and transmission from my P-15 along with a few more goodies. My trusty dog Mick Jagger also had a good time. Below are pictures of the visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Belvedere Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Do all you wise old Zen masters have white beards, they should call you guys Wizards of Mopar. Cool truck. A '59 per chance? I don't know where Tim will find the time for another project he must be a wizard. Don, anybody who is in SanFrancisco one day, and Georgia the next, must also be a wizard.

kencombs Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I think the truck is a 58, as 59&60 had swinging pedals and 57 had a different grille. Also, I think 58 was the only year with that general grille design to have single headlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm's Coupe Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Do all you wise old Zen masters have white beards, they should call you guys Wizards of Mopar. The beards are a disguise to hide from the revenuer's. At least that's what the owner of the company I use to work for from 1968 to 1988 always said. Had an unwritten hiring policy. I was not to hire anyone with a mustache or beard, because those people may be a little shifty and were hiding their face for some reason. Yes, that excuse be illegal, but we always found some other legal reason to give the person. The company was sold in 88 after the owner died, so it doesn't matter if I give out that dirty little secret anymore. I did sneak in one guy with a mustache once though. However, I heard about every little thing the guy did wrong until he quit after about 4 or 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normspeed Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Good lookin' crew. I can almost feel the Georgia weather in those photos. Gotta love it. Mr. Belvedere, the cool thing about being a zen master is levitation. It really freaks out the other folks on the freeway. That, and the green neon under the P24.

Young Ed Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Tim truck looks good. I'll agree with Ken on the 58 as Tim told me what year he was off to fetch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 It has been 15 years since I let that truck go..I did not have it long myself. Long story..was into my Porsche at the time and I think I had just purchased my Tiger..it arrived all apart and in many many boxes..anyway memory being what it is I was thinking the dang thing was tan and had twin sealed beam headlights...and looking in my Dodge Truck book this morning..I see NO single headlight bezel pictured and the 57 Power Giant is different completely. Go figure!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Tim I just looked through a couple of my dodge truck books. Your grill is for sure a 58. Now 58 was the first year that dual headlights appeared on cars and a few states were late in changing the laws to allow them. I have seen other 58 mopars that had a single headlight centered in the opening that would normally have 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Griffin Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 I'm sure Tim will have it looking like this 58 Dodge 100 in no time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 That truck sure is sharp, well done but I have NEVER been fond of the the sweptside truck...the blending of the car butt and truck cab has never worked for me..

50PlymouthSled Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Yeah, I have to agree. It's a nice truck, but I'm not big on the car and truck futures of it either. But then again, what do I know. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
