41 dodge truck

[riverrat]

Its my first build for myself, been gathering parts for awhile now but here is what I got, it was a complete truck, but I wanted something different, it new has a 02 d s10 xtreme chassis with a 4 link, c-notch, 2600lb bags rear and 2500lb bags up front, it will lay the frame rails flat on the pavement. 355 small block Chevy 700r4 Trans tell me what you think

 

[riverrat]

Don't know why some of my pictures are upside down sorry

I think it looks very good. What kinda horsepower will you be making?

 

[Neverdone]

Looks pretty sweet from here! You want to off any of that original tin? PM me if you might. Mainly looking at those rear fenders if you would be interested in parting with them.

 

[pcp]

looking good.

I like it, but you wanted something different and you went with a small block chevy with an auto?

...now my neck hurts!

I understand the Chevy engine isn't different but it was affordable and fit the budget, wanted an old hemi but the wife says the kids have to eat. I'm not expecting big horsepower, but somewhere between 225 to 275, its going to be my daily driver as long as there isn't any snow, that's why I also used the Chevy (reliability)

Anybody have any radiator ideas

Glad to see you are using the front fenders. Bummed that I can't buy them from you.

Have you looked at Speedway Motors for a radiator?

 

[riverrat]

Sn95 mustang radiator looks like it is gonna fit the bill, turned upright it fits in the noise perfect, not a bad buy for forty bucks,

Me too.

No shame in running a small block chevy. There are many reasons why they end up in so many rods.

Moved it outside today so I could clean up the rats hole (garage). It was a good time for pics I thought.

Check out speed wats universal Chevy radiators. They are available in different lengths. Might be able to make one fit. They are heavy duty radiator.
