    That truck is very nice! I like that alot! Are you going to chop the roof at How much is the frame kicked up in the back? And what all parts do you have left over?

    I havent decided if I am going to chop it or not. I think it will end up being chopped a little. Probably 2.5" or so. The rear kickup I think is about 13"...If I remember correctly. Im not sure what all I have left over...Are you in need of anything specific??

    Got any pics of that old beatup 37 Dodge ? Then we can see what you HAVE and maybe NEED. I have extra radiator, grill shell, hood and sides for a '36. Radiator surround and hood tops were same 36-37 I believe.

    I have a 37 Plymouth p/u that I hope to get to this late summer or winter . I need to replace th floor and cab corners . I am not going to chop the top but I am really thing of a roadster ! I am doing mine mostly in stock format , but will shorten the bed , large wheels on rear I have another 37 Ply . Have a front axel to replace my rusted on . I have a 38 grill that is in OK condition and going way out on the engine . I am building a Ford Y block that I have with a 3/4 race Isky cam 3x2 and 4 speed . It's a basket but all there . Rusted about 4" up .

    Will be needing the grill frame that the grill sits in . I do have a guy that makes a disc brake conversion for the factory set-up . He has the bracket and gives you the list for the rest .

    I have a line on a guy that hand builds cab corners, etc. I got some for my 37 Plymouth truck that were good quality. He goes by "Plymouth Doctor"
