Hey Peeps, Im new and yes posted in the wrong forums at first...sorry. I just bought a extremely clean 46 dodge truck and am the 2nd owner. There was a terrific story behind this truck from the grandson and they cried as we drove away with it. Anyways, it was $800. new right off the showroom floor, times sure have changed! Updated 318 motor out of a police car. I plan on driving it and thats it for now, just change a few things out, door handles, steering, muffler, shocks. I am super busy in the summer , I haul aggregate products locally and work the summer, so Ill have plenty of time this winter. any info regarding your experiences with this year truck will be greatly appreciated. I hear parts are hard to come by...? tata for now

Hello and welcome. If you haven't discovered this place yet there is an amazing amount of old mopar knowledge here: http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/forumdisplay.php?f=2
oh dear... I won't ask but I am not changing a thing on it , I want it all original or as close as I can get.
thanks Jen... a while back I recall a place in San Fran that carried a huge selection of old rides (for your WTB list), I'll send you the number if I can find it again. j
Welcome, very cool truck so don't forget to post up as many pics as poss, we don't see too many Dodge and Plymouth trucks in the UK! Like Jalopy Joker said, Roberts motor parts, theres very little you'll need they can't supply.
Welcome from Michigan. Glad to see more Early Mopar on here. I think the 40's Dodge trucks are the best looking.
Thanks to everyone for your help and direction to parts, I wash and compounded on the paint a lil today but in time I guess itll need painted. I changed out the air filter and the fan belt today also, thats all Im going to tackle in the motor, easy girly stuff ya know.. as time goes on Ill add more pics to my albums, his first vintage style wedding will be in August, that should be fun. I am going to send out flyers to wedding photographers to see if they are interested in using him as a prop. Just a thought for you ...these trucks are hard to come by and are being used for weddings, engagements, senior pictures. Hey why not make a lil gas or chrome money?!! Off to search for parts tata for now, j
Its nice to see more MoPars here on the HAMB. And good luck with your extra income plan. I was asked to lend my De Soto for a movie here in Sweden,but i had to say no,it was -22 C.
