Hot Rods my weekend purchase! 2 owner 1936 Dodge Pickup.

Nice find..thirties Mopars had some great styling.

 

wow--love that

 

Super! Only thing I'd change is the color of the pillows.

 

Nice item Rusty.

 

Nice truck you found there, in super condition! I've had mine a long time, and always thought they were pretty rare. But I've seen more on the HAMB than 30 years of car shows. Here's mine:

 

Very nice score. Being a a Mopar man, Im a little jealous. My family is originally from Jeff City, brewed beer there for a couple generations. I havent had any Central Dairy ice cream in a while. Enjoy your new purchse.

 

That little truck is AWESOME!

 

Way cool! I'm so jealous!!

 

Great find!!! Looks great just the way it is!

 

anybody have a front axle for one of these? Trying to find one to send to Sid and have dropped a few inches. I hate to drop this one! Aslo anyone know of a good brake conversion for this front axle?

 

That truck is super sweet. Put in your highway gears and enjoy!

 

great find... love it...

 

great find, those trucks in that condition are as rare as hens teeth. definitley one of the coolest looking dodges ever made. tons of potential there. good luck with it.

 

Whoa,thats a good one,I like them.

 

What a sweet truck, I have MoPar soft spot. It is about as nice as you could find, Congrats! I am sure you will leave all the great patina and original charm. ~sololobo~

 

Nice truck! I wouldn't use the ranger rear... swap the gears out or use a later mopar rear so you can keep the same bolt pattern.

 

For the brakes, check with www.rustyhope.com
See if his kit will work on the earlier trucks...I used it on my 52 Dodge 1/2 ton.

On my truck, the rear end from a 96 Jeep Cherokee (not grand) was pretty close to a straight swap. Just needed to weld on new spring perches. You might have to shorten the drive shaft, but the u-joints were the same.

I have the rear end I took out of my truck, but it's probably too long a drive for you to get it...and putting in a modern Jeep rear with 3.55 gears will make a nice difference in the ride and rear brakes, so it's not worth the gas for you to come get it.

Great looking truck!

 

This kind of vehicle (unmolested original) is fast becoming extinct and you just latched onto one of the few remaining. I think your on the right track with your plans. Be sure to keep us up to date as you make it yours.

So cool.. made a good choice

 

Nice find! We all need to start a '36 gang and roll past the the Chevy's and Ford's and show em what's up with our fore point engineering, lol

 

That is a great find!!!You'll have a lot of fun with that no matter what you do with it!!! ENJOY!!!

 

What a great looking truck you got!!!...hope it stays just how you found it, congrats.
