It's the perfect recipient for the Cummins/NV5600 that's in my truck.

And a '72-up sheetmetal conversion. Those pre-'72 four-doors are ghastly. You can't jackhammer the ugly off those things.

Would the sheet metal fit without major mods? I'm sure it would knowing dodge. ;) There are some early 60's front ends I don't mind....but not many.
 
considering they modded out a motorhome chassis for it....all youd need to do is hang new body mounts as for the truck itself..its not to far from what i have in the driveway....mines a 2dr..so there goes all the ugly..my sleeper cab is bigger..due to the lack of 4dr;s i have more room for a car(that wagon fit on the back!!!!), i have 2 sets of the ramps too and matching trailer...i also put the early cool hood and the even earlier quad headlight face on it they did a chassis stretch..mine was ordered that way....but i have the same MH axles fixed to go under it which will make my tire.wheel choises open up(and discs are nice) and a beefy 440...oh mines a 4spd syncro NON granny low..i just need an OD unit for it
 
I know the sheetmetal's totally different. The cab structure is made of sheetmetal, y'know... :doh: Simply scrap everything above the frame and start over with something that used four specific doors. I don't mind some of the front clips on the earlier trucks either, but those back doors ruin the entire truck--and there's no way to fix them. Crush the entire horrifying cab and get a '72-up "six pack" cab instead.
 
If I got a Swepty I'd want the earlier front end, like this truck.

And this one...

That's an Icon, that company takes old American trucks, and makes them not only super capable, but as plush as they can be within the confines of their original shell. They're very well done, and very expensive.

Ahhh one of those. I have seen them for sale a couple times, usually in the 100-200K dollar range.
 
Yeah. He does things like have all new switchgear made for them based on his own designs. The cool thing is, unless you had been in one of these trucks, you'd never know he did it. He keeps everything fairly vintage looking.

which one..the rampy on that 22 tilter making the f350 look tiny? or the perfectly running gtv6 in need of a parking spot?...only thing that 6 needs is dyno tuning...but i was doing runs to victoria and back in it ALOT.....car still has less than 80k on it, with new brakes, suspension, transaxle, clutch, guibos, tires all done a couple years ago..its a factory "leftover" ballocco ...i wouldnt hessitate for a second to drive it to the otherside of the world thats how sorted it is...not even any electrical gremlins.....tho i would like to switch to some good looking 16s and a set of falkens cause at this point the tires are holding back the suspension and brakes..i should also note the only rust on it is the spot above the passenger front shock towwer innner fenderwell...you know the spot im sure

71

that 1974 creamcicle runs..just...and ex friend ran it into the ground, while the bodys nice, the trans is slipping, the engine a total waste, im at about 75% im going to part it out and resurect my ramcharger with it as i need a "parts" truck for mostly TONS of hardware and lots of little things..be a sad thing to do to such a nice clubcab but at the same time ive no desire to dump money into it when end result the ramptruck would replace it for hauling..and the ramcharger for winter/fun duty
