Thanks a lot guys. Its very much appreciated! Anyone got any links to a chop job on a panel truck? Ive seen a lot of stuff on picjups and cars but none on a panel. Would lime to see how someone elses project went to see if its something I would dive into.

Bama Would you recommend something like the Lincoln AC 225?

Yeah it was pretty cheap man! Hell who knows maybe I can find a use for it around the place. MIGs are high dollar, well when you think about spending the money on it only to find out that you don't have the ability to do it! Guess I'll find out though. I'll need one anyway I imagine if I want to...

Well, I picked up the flux core earlier today, maybe I can teach myself to do sheet metal sooner or later. I'll look into a stick welder too pricewise...you guys got some very valid points. I'm just trying to make sure I don't get in over my head on the fabrication part and wind up screwing...

JBailey what worries me is any of the fab/welding that has to be done to the S10 frame. Also, I don't know anyone round here with the skills to pull it off without charging me a small fortune that could otherwise be used for engine/tranny. Do you think that the swap would be something that I...

I'd like to run a late model Hemi in it so that I can keep as much MOPAR as possible. That's what I'm thinking, I know enough about it to know that I don't need to be screwing with the frame and then expecting it to be safe to ride in until I get more experience. So you think that I should try...

Ok guys, I have my choice between 3 Dodge panel trucks. All the same 1953 model in various stages of falling apart. The one with the least rust needs a donor frame on it. The other two have rust on the fenders, and on the side of the body just above the rear wheel wells. I have never done a...

Hey Ive got friends in Searcy. I lived in Little Rock for awhile before I joined the Army.

Also, ive been looking here and other places and will continue to do so, but I really would like to chop this a little, has anyine had expierience chopping a panel? The back doors and windows are whats making me think twice about it. Id like to see a project someone else has done to see the...

Im not exactly sure. He has done some stuff to it in the past with the front suspension. I havent had a chance to get to it to really look. As it sits, there are weeds grown up around it. Goona have to pull it somewhere to get under it and look. He immediately started talking about the frame it...

I thought about using the dakota frame if i could find one that had a hemi in it. Figured that way i wouldnt need to fab up new motor mounts and figure out where they need to sit or make it easier anyways. I dont know I dont have any frame fabrication experience. Outside of the mechanical this...

As soon as i can get started on it there will be a build thread. Ive done a bit of scouring on here already and have seen a bunch of great stuff. Internet is great for networking this stuff! Im very excited about this build as its going to be my first experience with anything older than the 1978...

Hey folks! Im new and have TONS of questions! I have lucked into a sweet deal. A 1953 Dodge Panel for free!!! It belongs to my moms husband (not my dad) but he said if i can find a suitable frame to put it on its all mine with a title. It currently has a 383 in it that is siezed up and a very...
