Some of us are thankful the price for scrap has hit bottom. Now there is some old stuff we might be able to afford to buy without the scrappers sucking it up and getting it crushed.

The Dakota Chassis changed in 1997, then again around 2003 or 2004 (I haven't kept up with the new stuff, you know, the stuff only about 15 years old. LOL!)

I'm till stuck in the last century! My new project is a 39 Dodge 1/2 ton. It sitting on a 91 Dakota chassis and is getting a 97 360 Magnum, I have stepped up to the EFI, but this electronic speedometer is giving me fits. I'm also "upgrading" the 6 bolt pattern wheels to the older 5 bolt pattern wheels. Those 5 bolt hub/rotors are getting expensive these days.

Congrats on the new purchase. Those 51-53 were very popular Dodge trucks.

Chrysler Corp started production in 1924 with a revised Maxwell car. The 1924 and the 1925 had very few differences.
Looking forward to seeing pictures of the 25 Chrysler. I have the remains of a 24 Chrysler grill shell hanging on my wall as wall art, it would be nice to see what the car it used to be attached to looks like. Gene
