Well I jumped in with both feet..hope not in over my head. I bought the 36 Dodge pkup. Its a 1 1/2 Ton cab an chassis. Cab is in GREAT shape. Windshield and back glass are both unbroken! Grill housing is in pretty good shape and the grill insert is trash. Only one head light is there and the fenders are pretty bad shape. I will post pics as soon as I figure out how. (any help here would be preciated)
Now is the hard part. Deciding WHAT to do. DO I need to build a frame...buy another...shorten this one? WOW. It has a flathead six and tranny in it...condition of both is uncertain. I know it will have a V8...of at least that I am certain. If I pull it off this frame and sell it (frame) is it actually worth someone buying? It is a dually and all rims are there. Neat old HUGE five lug pattern.
SO many questions and I am such a freekn NEWBIE. I will have some help from a brother...we all know how easy it is to work with our brother huh? LOL
I have WANTED to do this for 20 plus years and I feel if not now then WHEN soooooo....
In advance I want all to know ANY help is so very greatly preciated and hope to one day be able to offer any scraps of advice I may have also.
Everbody cross your fingers for me and keep me in your prayers over the next couple years ok?
Thanks to all
