Dodge D100 Shop Truck

[jawman]

I'm not sure you should be allowed to drive that truck anymore.

Since it's a flatbed, it might look better without the trim, unless you incorporate the trim line into the bed side somehow. As for the bumper. I think the back bumper would be an improvement over the mangled mess on there now.

It's ugly, like a well executed right hook title fight.

X2 on that you got to drink it straight black no fancy dinks

When I'm around "The Guys" I disguise it in my huge "Lambert's thrown rolls" coffee mug, when I'm around the ladies I just use the clear plastic cup and show off the big whip cream topper, they dig it.

Removed the bumper today, whach ya thank?

i like it gone, may make a roll pan to cover the frame rails and cross member.

or may find some oddball bumper i like and use it or just make one. Not sure yet, all opinions & advice welcome.

 

[jawman]

defiantly needs something there.

 

[Charley Davidson]

Yep, but still looks better than it did with the bumper & fog lights

I'm brain storming for a unique/off the hook Idea for a bumper

Start looking for an old 50's-60's car bumper.

I was thinking about the ones with the 2 big bullet looking things on them, I think the Buick Roadmaster maybe[S

if you look at the rest of the pic everything is exactly opposite from right to left. I dont think it is a real picture. FlatbedAndy do you have any info on youravitar picture?

looks like the making of a pretty bitchin shop truck. Olive drab whit walls on black steelies with a set of stacks and company logo on the side would look pretty sick... a hemi in it would be cool.... Not to often i ask some one to put stacks on a rig but i think where it has a flat deck on it would look the part...

Probly gona get flammed for suggesting the stacks [P

 

[jawman]

Im with you on the stacks

The tires on it now are RWL but turned in, was thinking of trying the homemade method of making whitewalls. I asked some advice on the tire wheel combo but got no reply. It was about the late model Dodge truck wheels 21 or 22 inch I think and guys are using 4 spare tire rims cause they are steel. Will they fit on my hubs or not & would they look good being that tall?

The name on the door may get done this week, been planning it for a while.
"Artistic Welding & Fabrication 624-0146" in case any of you photoshop guys wanna play [

Gotta slant six so not sure about the stacks, think they would look ok I guess but it's not dual exhaust [S

Gotta have one of these for the hood http://www.skullsunlimited.com/record_variant.php?id=5936

 

[jawman]

like you said earlier split the header or just ''Y'' the exhaust at the back of the cab. it the new wheels are the same 5on 5 1/2 bolt pattern they should work.

 

[patina]

hmmm heres some insperation... stacy david did this on the show gearz

 

[jawman]

sweet does that still have the straight 6 in it?

 

[patina]

nope i believe its hemi as well

 

[Charley Davidson]

Sweeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!! Looks like the same year as mine also, mine was the long bed step side.

Pulled the truck into the shop tonight to build a front bumper but really didn't have enough/right material so I hooked up a windshield wiper yes "a wiper" haven't had a windshield wiper since I bought it so I tore into that to see what was wrong, turns out someone bought the wrong motor and it only fit 1 mounting hole so they gave up. Guess they never heard of a drill[S[S I drilled a second mounting hole so the motor couldn't spin, the linkage for the pass side was laying down in the cowl and needs some tinkering with so I left it out for now, also hooked up the drivers side defroster hose. So not a total waste.

The bumper plan was to use some 3x3 tubing between two bullet's made out of some old oxy tanks that would mount on the ends of the frame rails. Just remembered some material I have that may work, back to work

 

[jawman]

sound like an interesting idea.
