1958 Dodge utility truck
Well, the van moved onto a new owner last week who seems very happy with it. That was really a fun build although it blew up into a full resto that I hadn't planned.
So, onto the next conquest! After all the issues with the 48 nothing calms the nerves like pulling a new project into the garage. I found this in Kentucky; its a 58 Dodge utility truck that was retired from a local fire department several years back. Other than some rust here and there and a bad repaint this thing is solid as a rock and runs and drives really nice for a 61 year old truck. 230 inch flathead with a four speed. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet; the guy i got it from had it licensed and used it for a weekend cruiser. For now I'll probably just put a new factory floor mat in it, replace the dry rotted tires, and find some matching hubcaps.1 Corinthians 1:27
Well I've sure gotten old too so don't worry about it! I've had two bypass surgeries, new knees, fought prostate, cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,...
