Projects Altitude adjustment for the Sweptline Pick-up

good to see the Girlie Man truck turned out so nice (and feminine)

Good job, Gary. I can't see the third pedal, is it there?

 

This truck has a little history. It was one of the Dodge Boys White Hat Specials. Heres a youtube cmmercial from 1968

This is the first one in awhile that hasn't had 3 pedals (took me awhile to remember how to drive it) I'll make up for it with my "40" coupe. Gary

 

so what year is your truck?

 

"68" check out the youtube commercial in my 2nd to last post. Gary

 

Didn't get much done on it over the summer, but it's in high gear now and moving along nicely. Up-date with pic's to come soon. Thanks for asking and thanks to all for the kind words about my truck. Gary

 

Absolutely freaking beautiful!!! Love it man!

 

congrats on the axle filp, looks******in. extremely clean truck too!

heres my***** box

 

Wow, nice start to what will be a very cool truck !!!!!
I had no idea there was that much interest in these trucks. Gary

 

rather than shortening the pitman you maybe should have dropped the steering arms

did the same thing only different on a 52 Chevy truck. couldn't make a U-turn for***** til we redid it.

 

Sweet ride! Your giving me some insperation and hope for my own rust-bucket.

 

Might as well stick mine in here ..

 

thanks man

 

Who the f said something about "ugly" These d100's ROCK!

 

theyre ugly in a good sorta way....

 

Very NICE!I love these old Dodges need to get mine back out and running.

 

Ahh yes, one of my favorites. Again thanks for your help in getting me going the right direction. Gary

 

Not too shabby, Gary. I'll be looking forward to seeing it after the damn snow goes off ...again.

 

What year is yours? It has the grill and headlight****embly that I really like

Love your avitar. Is that yours?

Yep, look foward to getting together with you, really want to see how your coupe is coming along.

 

Glad to help ..If you need anything else, let me know


www.sweptline.org great site, lots of info !

 

You can't do that because the steering arm is allready close to the axle, this was really the only way. Probably more room on the chevy.

 

Sweet Pickup! Love It!!!!

 

lookin' good Gary!!!

 

Dave (Roadburner1) Thanks for your input. Dave handled most of the chores in getting this thing down outta the clouds along with a little input from the Tech archives at Sweptline.com Thanks for your help. Gary

 

No Problem BUDDY...............oh bye the way its almost time to move Jens
stang to the shop..........hint hint

 

I had a buddy that had a '67 with a slant 6... We tried everything we could possibly think of to kill it in a grapefruit grove... It wouldn't die... a few years later, we drug it out, some used tires and a battery and used it on the street for a lawn service... The truck outlasted the lawn service too, it's probably still out in the grove with 4 flats and a dead battery.

 

Just gotta add a few photos to this thread

I went on a bit of an adventure with Gary yesterday and will be posting a thread about it tonight....

It was a good day. We criss-crossed south western Nebr. and back to near Glenwood Ia. Went to the body shop where my 40 is at, to a friends hot-rod shop in Fremont and then to help out some distressed hot rodders ( Nicks uncle John and his friend Brian) Who broke down near Glenwood Ia. The Dodge sweptline never missed a beat. These pic's should raise some interesting comments. Gary

 

Yes sir,one of my projects.And a shot of my non hambable Sweptside.

 

looking good gary hoping to see it in the show or maybe your roadster anything will do
