46 Dodge

[Todd]

Wasn't feeling the rear bumper [S
So I found a way to use the old Ranger bumper.

Nice progress, Todd. A-1 work too.

Thanks Bob. Not sure about A-1, maybe B-2

Been doing dinky things and marking things off the build list. Some just aren't photo worthy. Got the windshield frame back blasted and primed. Gave it a coat of black and next will fit the glass.

Over the weekend I decided to paint the center of the steering wheel. Used leftover wheel paint from the trailer project.

Here is how it sits today.

Update time.
The windshield is back from the glass shop, forgot picture I put it in hiding.

Got a deal on some Warn lock outs.

Warmed up the shifter and tried to make it less 80's looking.

Got the clutch master on the firewall...

and hooked to the pedal, it cycles very nice.

Don't know how fix the video being sideways. But hey, SHE'S ALIVE!

Found some utility tail lights at the local AutoZone. Got them hooked up temporary and noticed they are different lenses. Nice to have the back-up lamps in them.

Get the rusty brake lines replaced and I'll be able to drive it around the yard.

Got the old girl outside today. [cl

Also grabbed the old chevy box from the yard to mount up. [

Excellent Todd! Going to be nice on the road.

Got the windshield installed tonight.

Going to let it set for awhile before opening it. So the gasket has time to lay flat.

All great progress.

I'm a little late on this, but the truck is coming together nicely, can we get a better pic of this pedal?

 

[Todd]

Sure Rich, give me a little direction and I'll get what you need. It is all factory '85 Ranger.

 

[I-R-POPS]

Nice progress. Keep on banging on it.

 

[Todd]

Picked up a wood wheel for the truck

 

[smallfoot]

That steering wheel fits right in...good work!

 

[vintageT]

I found it! Great build, and finding the perfect replacement frame at just the right moment.... I don't know which of your builds I like better.…..

Build on![

Is it on the road now Todd?

Is it on the road now Todd?

No, but it is yard drivable. I am trying to finish up the AD-kota and have it on the road this summer. Also building a cyclekart.

I recently picked up an over-sized glove box from I-R-POPS Designs. This week it got installed. Instead of using the factory springs on the door and cutting into the box, JB Weld was used to attach 2 strong magnets at the top of the opening to hold the door shut.
