Build thread 37 Dodge PU

[Mike P]

Well better late than NEVER.

The 37 Dodge got moved from the back shed (also known as the land of forgotten projects) to the shop this morning. I was going to do that about a week or so ago but with the wildfire that’s happening out here it got kind of hectic ……getting ready in case the kids had to evacuate here (fortunately it looks now like they are going to be OK), and we’re also boarding 3 horses that got moved from the evacuation area.

I figured I’d get some of the parts off the shop floor and in the truck and start re-doing the mock-up for the Dana 60 and 518 transmission which will necessitate re-doing the floor I had mocked up. I’ll also now be using a floor shifter and headers, probably require redoing the steering which was just temporary anyway.

Once I get the front fenders off I’ll probably take the passenger side one into the bodyman who did the El Camino and see if we can eliminate the hole for the spare tire I can get fiberglass front fenders without the spare tire well, but I’d really like to keep it all steel.

Anyway at least it’s where I can start working on it again.
