Haven't posted in a while, been pretty busy. The truck is almost finished and been to a few cruise ins. Currently it is in shop for a transmission rebuild. Then I have to get windshield glass cut. If anyone is interested I can post more pics. Really starting to have a lot of fun with the truck.

Hey Moline

Yes please post up some current pictures....I love the looks of these old PilotHouse Dodge trucks...They have a lot of character for sure...Mopars of that era have a style all unto their own....

205/60-15 on 15x7 on front

Thanks for the compliments. I'm actually debating on selling it and looking for a old car so my family can all cruise. Haven't brought myself to sell it yet though. Got too much blood sweat and tears in it.

Your truck really turned out great!!
If I ever run across one in really solid condition I'm gonna build one with the original stock look other than a mild chop, a 440 dodge engine and a 727 trans.

You're spot on with the stance. Ride on!

Couldn't be any better. Well done sir.

 

[molinerat]

Thanks for compliments guys. I'm kinda looking for a late 50's or early 60's impala or belair. Would trade for the right one.

 

[molinerat]

This truck is for sale or trade. If anyone is interested let me know. [email protected]. If I don't sell it soon its going on ebay. Thanks.

 

[molinerat]

Decided to keep the truck for now. Too much blood, sweat, and tears in it. Getting geared up for the redneck rumble in Tennessee in September.

Hey Molinerat

Glad you decided to keep it....I have a 1953 Chevy (my avatar) that I got sick of working on I was ready to sell it too...then my wonderful wife says...just push it outside and take a break...that was December of 2011...I am just about ready to pull it back inside and try to finish it...

thanks for the update...
