36 Dodge truck

[Gregster]

This is a little "mini-build " within the build . We ordered a set of muffler baffles from car chemistry , here is the assembly process . I'm sure this is pretty basic for most of you but I thought I would post it anyway .

love this build! this is a sick truck!

The pipes look AWESOME!!! How does it sound? The actual headers is that all a custom build (besides the mufflers) or is that like a kit you got to build them?

 

[Gregster]

They are a speedway kit , after they were welded I used brass to smooth the transitions on the pipes so they would have a smoother finish and then coated them with Eastwoods exhaust coating . I have not cranked it yet , so I'm hoping they will sound good .

Sweet truck Guys

do you know how wide is the frount axle on this truck from hub flang to hub flang or kingpin to kingpin.

Nice build on the pipes - you should post that as a separate tech thread.

 

[Gregster]

Getting closer to the finish line , we had the pin stripe guy out yesterday .

 

[chuckles]

Awesome !! Very nice build ... Utube the Eng./exhaust sound !!
I've been gathering parts for some time now and
That is how I want my truck to stance..

You did an awesome job on this truck and that pin striping looks perfect.

Hope to see some more pics.

You're gonna have to get flood lights and one of them car turntables for when you show it! I know that's not your style, but you get my point; beautiful job on the Dodge.

No Bob , a turn table display is not in our future . We are getting ready for the world of wheels show next week here in Birmingham , I was thinking of using police line tape around all our cars and trucks, it seems more fitting !

New to the site, but not to restoration work. Just wanna chime in to say thanks for posting up your build - lot's of fun I'll bet. Looks great!

Just read thru this build and I absolutely love this truck. I'm getting ready to start on a 35 Dodge truck and I will be coming back here alot for inspiration and ideas. You do excellent work.

Great Build!

I noticed that the truck has a spring behind front axle with it being mounted under the frame instead of a suicide mount. I see you mentioned it is a Speedway axle, but what drop amount is it?

I'm looking forward to the rest of the build.
