Another new guy here
:welcome: from :canada:
Cool truck! I used to work with a guy long ago who had a 55 Dodge truck.
Honestly I lucked into it. It's the first one I'd ever see. People where I live don't do much more than the normal mopars everyone sees. Charger dart duster you know the ones.
I got a deal of a deal on the truck running and driving. It was first restomodded in the 80s and it shows and isn't a good job. Front end cut off and replaced with an aspen or diplomat front end.
Firewall butchered for a smog era 318. Floor pedals removed for hanging pedals. Holes all over the cab from the butchery. But the body is nice.
I'll be redoing it like listed above.
Cut down and bagged s10 frame for a better fit to the body plus bags are cool and so isn't an updated suspension.
Semi built lq4 with twin 67mm turbos and a monster built 4L80 with a Yank 3200 stall converter coupled to a ranger 8.8 with 373 gears and an lsd and 4 link.
Should be a cool and fun truck once done I hope.
Again thanks for all the compliments on this project. Now to find another mopar car to mod. The duster I was looking at won't be happening and I'm not a huge fan of the darts although I am looking at a flat nose 72 currently complete for cheap but 5 hrs away. I'll keep everyone updated if I can pick it up.
