1930 Dodge truck, not a Fargo

I cut up the booth shown earlier and just set it in place. Looks decent and the price is right. Cleaned up the old free trunk and set it in the bed.

The gas tank is inside.

Looking Good, Bob.
Could we get a full body shot soon, please.

 

[Old Iron]

Looks great.
Where did you get the fuel tank or what did it come out of?

 

[bob w]

My sciatic nerve has been a pain the last few days but now getting better. OI, the tank is a swap meet item.
Mac, I was able to move it forward for a better side shot. So here it is. It's looking like I was hoping it would.

Those quarter windows are killer!

 

[MercuryMac]

Thank you, Bob. Sorry to put you to all the trouble but I just had to see the whole thing again. Wonderful!

Perfecto !!!! Love the truck and the sticker

 

[bob w]

Thanks for the positive comments guys. It means a lot. Now working on the steering. I have a Ross steering box, new, probably for a fork truck. It might be a little quick but I can slow it down with a short pitman arm. Slow going with the sore back and hip.

Looks great! I hope the back and hip gets feeling better. I go through it too.

Cold weather takes a little longer each year to get used to... I'm glad I don't have as much cold stuff as you guys up north!

Thanks for the reply.
I'm needing one for the chopped section and channeled truck I built to extend the mileage range for my customer.

Sorry I don't have more information. It is from and old car and was longer. I had to cut the end off but that made it easy to clean out the inside and take some dents out of it. Searching swap meets for $5 parts like this was fun for me.

Looks really good Bob! That cab design was the inspiration for both my Hercules and Hennway pickups but you've gone the more difficult route of resurrecting the real thing from what the average person would call scrap. Well done!

 

[bob w]

Thanks zz. I know I can't make a hot rod out of flat sheet metal. I did however get the Ross steering box mounted. Several years ago I got an old steering column and wood wheel from inside a school bus used as a warehouse. French lake Auto Parts. It's all transplanted into the Dodge.

I enjoy making parts like this master cylinder and brake pedal mount. All the materials were laying around. I got the master cylinder from a RRR member for free. Sorry, I don't remember who, but thanks. The pedal arm might need some zigging and zagging depending on where on the firewall it mounts. There's welding and grinding yet to be done.
Yes, it's a single master cylinder, just like tens of millions of cars had back in the day.

Well done!

Awesome work! I really enjoy how your mind works.
