    Okay, I seem to remember a 50s era pick-em-up truck with fins.

    (Not a custom job. A production model.)

    Can anyone clue me on the model and year?

    Got pics?
     
  2. Dodge had a finned fancy model in 56 or 57 to compete with the Cameo carriers.

    Dodge made Sweptsides 1957-1959. There is a website, www.sweptsides.com that has pictures, production numbers, etc. And Johnny Cash music too.

  6. Those were cool trucks, but as with everything else, Ebay has driven the price out of reality.

    from So. OK

    There used to be an old man in the town I grew up in drove one all the time. It was pretty rough and I haven't seen it in several years, it was the only one I've seen in person. Have no idea what happened to it.
