48 DODGE Pilot House Rat

Or by a 60 or 70 year old driver....LOL.....sorry Pops....

You got that right!!
Some days I feel 25 but mostly not.

Pops...I just got my Medicare Card....lol

Couldn't figure out why I needed it since I was working and have medical insurance...but apparently the Insurance company wanted to make sure I had the part A stuff.....thank the Lord I still am healthy and in fairly good shape for an old guy...Still love the job...otherwise I'd be out of here tomorrow....LOL..

Well I got it listed on Ebay today. If it sells fine, If it doesn't that's fine too.
Drove it all afternoon just for kicks.
Somebody on here needs to buy it.

I had a guy ask if I'd sell this without the motor and transmission. He wanted a 350 Chevy. I get the Chevy's are cheap and available thing but why would you take a perfectly good 440 Dodge motor out of a Dodge truck?

I'll be glad when this auction is over Friday! I'm tired of all the "NOISE'' and requests for hundreds of additional pics I've sent.

I don't have the patience to put up with people that can't build their own telling me how I should have built mine.

I'm thru bitching now.

 

[willyD]

Damn! What kind of idiot would want to pull the 440 to put in a 350 chevy As you said, I get that they are cheaper and available, but that only makes sense when you are building, not for something that already has a good and infinitely cooler engine in it!

Don't worry about it Pops. The guy probably can't afford your truck, but has a 350 and figures he could get the truck for a price he can afford and put his drivetrain in it. Stick to your guns, your price is way too good and someone will see that.

 

[MercuryMac]

I agree with all of you guys; strongly agree.
I especially like your saying, " I don't have the patience to put up with people who can't build their own telling me how I should have built mine."
I'll stop now before I go on a rant.

I'd ask what kind of gas mileage you get, but since it doesn't have a speedo cable I'd guess about 35 to 40.

I'm sure some fool has already asked.

mebbe even 45 or 50*







*miles per tank....

 

[I-R-POPS]

I guess it's just part of selling something to the Joe Blow Public. I should have sold it to the guy that chased me down. He offered me 14k a year and a half ago. But I wanted to "finish" it.

I checked the fuel mileage with the GPS I was using for a speed0 and it was getting a whopping 4.5 MPG. I never checked it again but I don't think it ever got better. It's too much fun and I just have to hammer on it.

 

[sgtpontiac]

Pops...hindsight is alway 20 20...

Hope you get your price and that the auction goes as planned....never know with John Q public....lots of strange people floating around out there...

 

[Burgerman]

That 440 belongs

It has been a pleasure to follow your Pilot House build thread. You set the bar high for all of us. Hold out for a fair price Pops.

 

[05snopro440]

I think that's why i'm dragging my feet about listing it.... I really love the old thing. Nothing like the sound of a big block 440 when you put your foot in it.



Exactly!!!! It really pi$$es those guys off to get dusted by a 60-70 year old ride.

I think it pi$$es them off more to get dusted by a young guy driving a rusty old pickup than an old feller. Haha!

 

[I-R-POPS]

Boo Hoo and Ya Hoo at the same time.

It never gets old no matter how old you are.

Thanks, My grandson and I both had a really good time building this thing.
He's kinda sad that I'm selling it.

They finally started bidding on it today. It's at 10k now and I'm hoping for a bidding war before the end at 6:00 PM tomorrow.

 

[soltz]

That's a start [cl
Do you have a reserve on it [S

No it is what it is.
No matter what it brings, I have already got it spent.

I don't have the patience to put up with people that can't build their own telling me how I should have built mine.

this is easily the most incredibly true statement ever made on the internet. "what I would have done was" or "you should have". You know the old saying, Those who can, do; those who can't, teach. I have spent nothing on the extensive education given to me by a hundred guys who havent ever touched a wrench, seems like you have the same "masters degree" pops. cheers!

 

[DozerII]

Glad to see she sold for you Pops

My wife tells me I need to work on my ''people skills''. I just tell her you can't fix other peoples stupid.

Glad to see she sold for you Pops

Thanks Dozer. Still have mixed emotions. But moving forward feels right.
