53' Dodge Build

Looks good, nice stance.
Its begging for a baby hemi

 

Definetly a nice ride. I have to agree with the '1 on the road is worth 10 in the garage' plan. But yes, I would love to see a Mopar mill in there, Baby Hemmi or a Poly would be great, but a 360 (5.9) with one of the late O.D.s in there would haul and likely be more cost effective (5.9 W/ trans V/S a Poly or Hemi alone). Bottom line it's your truck, as long as your happy, that's all that matters.

 

hahahahhahaa, yup, he has an awesome truck even though !
btw, don't tell no one, but I stuck a 350 in my 54 dodge too

 

B-Friggin-utifull!! Chebby mill and all!! Really cool, Brother, Congrats!!-Sololobo

 

Just don't open the hood at a mopar show......maybe you could get some of those Hemi valve covers for a SBC...

 

Yes it finished, but i might add small supercharger on it but not sure. I will add a bigger gas tank (under the bed), raise bed floor, and gauges (some dont work) before summer and thats it for a while...

 

Interior shots????

 

very nice work love the stance.

 

Great ride!!

 

Your truck looks great. Don't care what kind of engine you use, it's your truck! Never really looked at this vintage, but this one is kinda growing on me!

 

No, not at this time

 

Looks real good. You don't see nearly enough of this kind of truck, especially after seeing this one. Those F100 fenders do a lot for it.

 

Well i had the truck out last week for some pictures so here they are. and theres an interior shot for you mark....

 

heres a couple more with my brothers 47 chrysler...

 

Thats a sweet looking Dodge, Im just glad Im not the only one building a Dodge truck....

 

nice stance,looks good

 

your not. I've got a 54 in a build up now.
I wish mine was as far along as Krusty's, its looking awesome .

We just painted mine and still have the gl*** to install, exhaust, driveshaft and complete wiring harness

 

What a difference the right stance can make. Sweet truck.

 

that thing rules, I love the stance.

 

Nice useable interior.....looks like its even got genuine 'old'

 

didnt that thing come from factory with a straight axle? did you convert it to IFS? ... it looks very nice... its amazing how much rims, tires, and stance can make a truck look soooo much better..

 

I've got a 241 Dodge hemi that would look great in that???

 

Its nice to see that there are people out there doing trucks that are not the norm. ( ford,chevy)

 

that is really cool! who care if it has a sbc/turbo in it it's a hot rod! sure wish my old 53' had ifs. in it because even with rebuilt stock front end the 331 only liked to go straight and stopping was...

 

thanks guys, still not totally done... probly but bags on it in the next couple months, and new exhaust. stay tuned

 

thats a cool looking truck but coming from a mopar perspective I would like it "much" better with a mopar motor Ron....

 

Must have missed it, what type of front suspension please? Looks fn great mate

^^^^^^^^^^^^ OK, JUST RE READ, MUSTANG. Old mans disease.

wow, you Mopar guys are tuff,...I like the truck the way it is, very nice job.
