Customs Decided on a New Look

0 A change I felt was needed. Got a discount code for Summit. Always liked the Torque Thrust wheels. Second one for 2024. Did the seat last month

 

can't go wrong with Americans.

 

NICE!

 

I like your truck, can we get some details on it?...don't see too many of those years Dodges.

 

Love TTO’s, but the D’s not so much.
Sorry

 

1952 Dodge B2B, 330 Desoto Hemi on a diet with HHs intake, Carter 625 cfm, Sanderson headers, stock heads, special HC pistons, electronic ignition, 727 TF, 70 Dodge Challenger rear end, 3.23 SG, front end is an 88 Dodge Dakota, stock Dakota disk brakes.

 

The 'new" look is a good look.

 

Thanks

 

thanks for the info, cool truck.

 

Thanks

 

First picture is the best!

 

I keep looking at Cragars but haven't pulled the wallet out yet so

 

Rad little truck

 

Those old dodges are so cool ! That is a sweet one too! Not a fan of cragars my neighbor just put some on his 70 Cutlass this past summer they are already rusting! WTF not impressed torque thrusts always been my favorite look.had them on my '35.
No caps look cooler too! Man I miss that truck!

 

Nice

 

Cragers were my second choice but their quality these days just plain suck. Way overpriced as well.

 

I'd do aluminum slots from US mag wheels too

Hello,

Nice start on your no so common old truck. We see plenty of Chevy and Ford trucks, but that style and model of Dodge Trucks are not your everyday hot rod build. For us, my wife and I have seen a local truck that seems well put together and the happy smiles on the faces of the folks inside says it all. They are happy and having fun with their bright red old Dodge Truck.

When my wife and I were out and about checking on some out of the way surf spots in a few coastal communities, we came upon a cool looking Dodge Truck. We had seen it cruising around on some other major streets with a couple of older folks having a great time being in the truck. Smiles on both told us the story, or a great joke was just told at the moment we saw them smiling. Ha!

Jnaki

But, later on in the following year, we saw it again and had to take another photo as it was a captured audience.. The neat thing is that it is not a shiny chrome laden old hot rod. It is a clean daily driver and has a pretty nice single color thing going for it. The black bumpers give the bright red color its time to shine and frames it out nicely with the black running board. Overall, it was a nice build and those folks are happy with it.

The red Dodge Truck with all black bumpers and running boards in its neighborhood gathering spot. Yes, even old hot rod folks stop at the big “M” place for drive in coffee plus a snack or two… YRMV No, we did not stop as there was a pass through roadway nearby. Ha!

 

one of my all time favorite hot rods '33 dodge

 

That green is different

 

But it works! Lol, IKR

 

That’s what counts

 

I'd drive it

 

back in the late 70's I though 5 spokes were outdated and bought 15X10 and 15X 8 slots for my car. had 2 other cars with slots in the same time period.

I have since come to my senses. 5 spokes rule, I even put them on my S-10

that's a cool truck .. Hemi makes it extra cool..what's next?

 

Looks great!! I have always liked these trucks.

 

Electric assisted steering would be nice along with a fresh rack. I need to change out the lifters
