mystery panel van...

[hotrod preacher]

went to a neighbor's place to look at a wrecked mustang project & spotted this pile of rust sitting on a trailer out in the edge of his woods...

said he was probably gonna haul it to the crusher, but said he'd throw it in with the mustang if i bought it...lol

do not want the mustang, but would love to cut the cowl n doors off this n make me a roadster pick up...


but what is it? he thinks dodge/ plymouth...

sorry for the lousy pics...

hello

its a 36-37 dodge or plymouth rare truck dont cut it up refered to as a hump back panel

 

[Old Iron]

Has someone cut the roof out of it or does it just look like it ?

 

[Dirtyrat]

Yes, don't crush that, that would be an awesome project truck body to start with!!!

 

[Charley Davidson]

Save it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[hotrod preacher]

if i get to save it--and that is a big "IF" -- i would want to either trade it to someone who appreciates its rarity or hack the crap out of it to make my dream ride--a roadster pick up....


so you guys with roadster truck parts might talk me into a trade....lol

I just can't believe an upstanding man of the cloth has resorted to extortion as a tactic to obtain an rpu.

PS-clearly I'm just kidding HRP.

Saw one like it at a car collection in Clinton, Mo. Complete, driveable, with low mileage, worth????????? I agree this is a rare piece. I found a 30's pickup cab, a friend owns, laying by a creek bed in the woods, I'll ask him if it's for sale and get back with ya.....

 

[hearseman]

Looks like a dodge. hope they didn't crush it. What does he want for it?

 

[jmlcolorado]

Chop the crap outta that but keep it a panel! Or just buy that, then sell it to someone that wants to restore (or in this case, build from the ground up) and use that $$$ for a RPU.
If it were me, I would do a stupid chop on it, like 9"! Then section it, then put a frame with a hemi under it! key would be to keep ALL the doors 100% operational.
But I've been known to COMPLETLY ruin perfectly good stuff.

 

[hearseman]

It is a dodge

There is one almost like in in Feb. issue of RatRod Magazine.

 

[skull]

save it

get & trade/sell it to get what ya really want.

less work and in the longrun ya will be driving the dreamrat sooner than later.

Later
