1940 Plymouth Willys Pickup - Project Thread #1049538 08/08/11 09:04 PM 08/08/11 09:04 PM

JonsGottaDusta OP master Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 6,236 san diego	Just wanted to start a thread to document a 1940 Plymouth that Mopar_Ron and I are putting together. I purchased the truck a few years ago, but I started working on it this summer. We put the truck on a 1980's Toyota pickup chassis and it'll be setup to resemble a traditional' type of hot rod. I cannot find the photos from when we started, but I'll post the pics I have right now. Mocking up the front fenders Ron showed me how to make a cab mount and I proceeded to make the next five. Ron = OVERkill. We then decided we were going to "squattie" the truck to get it that much lower, so I assembled the front clip, measured where everything looked good, and then marked the cab where the bolt holes are on the fender. Then we pulled the whole front clip off and drilled the holes we marked, while also welding in some nice 1/4" studs to make everything really simple for removal. After some more examination there was a anonymous vote that the stock plymouth was punched in too bad. Ron had the idea to take a piece 1x1/4" plate and bent it to the contour of the front of his '41 Willys. We then built these center section pieces off of that a some pieces of 1/2"x1/2" tubing. We didn't want to directly copy his, so this will look like a '40 Willys/Hybrid/Custom/Headscratcher. Mind you, this was ALL done without access to an english wheel.

We also cut out the whole torsion bar suspension/cross member, etc. Test fit and in the 318/727 goes. We then proceeded to make motor and tranny mounts from some 1/8" steel plate and some spare roll bar tubing. Our AWESOME removable tranny mount. My awesome LB Swap meet score - $40.

I ended up stealing some from Ron that I must replace at a later date when funds are available. We started by removing the shock, shock mount, lower snubber and some bracing that we will box in later. It was originally just going to sit low, but after we started cutting, I decided it needed to be lower, and a little lower... Trimming our homemade airbag plates. We did the same trimming to both sides.^^ Test fit After welding New height Then we did the other side the exact same way. We're getting pretty good at this. This is a MUST WATCH video. This is how low it will set, whenever parked. It has 9" of fully adjustable travel. UP Gasser-wannabe and down...

The reason I'm asking is I have an 84 Ramcharger 4x2 that I started to restore but lost interest in. The frame is blasted and painted and I hate to scrap it. I've often thought of doing a SR on that frame but it would be titled as an 84 RC. I didn't want to pour money into it for nothing. Last edited by wedgeheaded; 08/11/11 03:55 PM.

I have heard of people getting a floating feeling out of the rear end with a 4 link and bags but no shocks. Do the front air bags line up vertically? In some of the photos the top seem to be shifted inward towards the engine and the bottoms outward in an almost Z like fashion, not sure if this would affect the strength or stability of the bags. Great photos of progress, any thought put into the radiator cross member and what are the dimensions of the radiator being used?

Seems I am packed to the gills with muscle cars, though. 1969 Dart GTS 340 1969 Super Bee X9 N-96 1969 Coronet R/T X9 N-96 2015 Dodge Dart GT 2019 Ram 2500 Big Horn. Looking for the original block for my Bee. The last 4 are 7449

Working on running all new brake lines and painting/installing the master cylinder and junction block. Hoping that will all be wrapped up tonight, then on to bleeding the brakes. I'm off for the next five days, and therefore have no excuses.
