I even got an extra grille and fenders,a box of chrome and gauges,all the stock wheels and hub caps,and an extra set of hoods.not bad for free eh? Oh and very very little cancer

The guy who started on yours must have been related to the PO of my 37. When I bought it had not only the Mustang II front suspension (fortunately a well installed aftermarket crossmember). They had also used an entire Mustang II drive train 2.8 V6, C3, and 8� 4 lug rear end (and for some reason had butchered the firewall). I�ve finally got mine back in the shop and am putting a proper MOPAR drivetrain in it. 6722016-1LTBay.JPG (84 downloads) Last edited by Mike P; 07/10/11 07:25 PM. 1957 Plymouth (Hemi, Dual Quads, A833 4 Speed 9 1/4 w 4.10) Sold 1937 Dodge Pickup (Hemi, 6X2 intake, 46RH, Dana 60 w 4.56) Sold 1968 Plymouth Valiant 2dr sedan (354 HEMI, 46RH w/4.30 gears)

My dad's '47 has the style lines on the fenders. The 1940 "cross" grille didn't follow all the way down, instead had chrome horizontal trim that followed the steel portion of the grill. Like this: They are definately '41+ but i'm not sure how to distinguish those years apart. A '41 Dodge: 1941 Dodge Picture A '47 Dodge: 1947 Dodge
