41 dodge truck

[bob w]

I like your truck a lot. Guess it's because I have a '40 Plymouth truck. You did a good job on yours. Can you tell me more about removing part of the saddle?
I used the original frame but have a Mustang II front end, S-10 rear end and springs and a Chevy engine and transmission. So there's not much Mopar left under my truck either. Lots of people have made nice rides using the S-10 frame. No reason to hate that.

I had to remove it because of the fact the core support itself was wider than the s10 frame, so after the cab was mounted I bolted the fenders and nose to the truck without the core support and shipped it with jack stands from there I measured the top mounting bolt (where the nose bolts to the core support) to the top of the frame rail and cut my core support to length. Then I had to cut the drivers side and angle it around the gearbox

I'm with these other guys... No shame here, that's one sweet looking truck.

Really cool!!! Nothing wrong with building on a budget! Looks like a mighty fine ride! Wish I still had more of the original Dodge I have!

I really digg your dodge, I got lucky when I found mine it was still a complete truck with the flat six in it,

Thanks. The sad part about mine is my buddy I got it from had all of it at one point. That is all he kept.

That is sad, its very hard to find any parts for these trucks, the only aftermarket parts I can find are headlights and fiberglass fenders

what if?

Hi there. I'm a fan of the '39 to '47 Dodges, too. I have a motor, trans combo for you, that would calm the guys down, a Mopar 360 with a 727. It's in a Mercury of all things. The upside of these cross-make hotrods is that they fit into the budget better and they build character.
Nice patina, very nice.
Keep on tinkering.

Thank you for the compliments for now i'm gonna enjoy the Chevy combo just to keep on upsetting people after all there is no wrong way to build em as long as they don't get crushed
