So I know many of you kept updated on a past build of mine that I was working on a 23 ford t-bucket It was your everyday t-bucket build with a few exceptions. I started this whole project when I was fourteen and what I call the reign of the speedway motor t-bucket took hold.(I have nothing against speedway just tired of the cookie cutter tbuckets) So the search began for something different and a couple weeks ago the first piece of the puzzle fell into my lap... That's right a 270 super red ram hemi out of a 55 dodge...(sorry pic wont upload) Then today at the fall swap meet at the Minnesota state fair grounds there it was in the back of a ford ranger pickup Just the piece I was looking for a 1920 dodge c cab body... As the ***le imply so have plans to turn it into a roadster pickup... More to come in the next couple days!!!! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Not sure just basing it off of what the seller told me I still need to figure it out Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I like that year dodge myself been looking for years for a half way decent body.Have missed a few . Have a good lead on a few and a 1916 studebaker touring. Good luck with your .build
I guess cookie cutter was the wrong word but I think we all know what I mean when I bought my body they weren't as popular as they are now.... I'm just looking for something different witch is something I have been alway trying to achieve with projects. My idols being people like Roth and Grabowski different has always been cool with me...

No offense intended but I think if I were after different and I had a C cab I would build a c cab. Lots of roadster pickups running around damned few C cabs. that said I like where you are going with this. Hemi powered dodge roadster pickup.
There's a reason I am going to school for engineering the c cab will not be going to waste... That's all I am gonna say about that you will have to stay updated with the build for more Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
so when i was surfing the web today looking for pictures of 1920 c cabs i found something that looked familiar on eBay...the posting from a few months ago where the man who sold it to me had bought it... i knew it looked familiar
So a quick update sorry all I have been Mia for the past year but slowly but surely making progress on my car right now I am working on figuring out my brake set up and how exactly I want to mount my pedals and cylinder also picked up and aluminum boat steering wheel that we built an adapter for so I didn't have to cut it apart for my build thinking it should look nice with the aluminum I plan on using for the interior... Decided I'm definitely going to make it a c-cab... Moved the car to my home so will take some pics and hope to get back to making momentum on it shortly more pics to come
That's a pretty cool steering wheel. Just a thought, maybe you could hide that adapter inside the steering column bell.
The adapter isn't quite finished yet going t turn it down some more yet so it doesn't stand out as much
