Ok this stuff isnt MOPAR but will be propelled by a 318. Went to the swapmeet in Kansas City Mo and scored 2 pairs of 30s steel spoke 16" wheels and this sweet tach

Good score! Make sure you understand those wheels. A number of those early spokes require the matching brake drum to support it properly, or a modified hub that matches the drum's profile.

Too late found out. No crossbreeding!

Im mixing the breed because well Im not going to spend $500-$1500 for a cab and I bought the front axle before I had a body/cab and I have plenty of small block mopars to spare one. In the future Id like to build a chevy with a chevy straight 6 and a ford with a Full House Flathead and a Dodge with an Early Hemi . All trucks of coarse. My dad builds his own Hotrods Mostly Shoebox Ford witch is where my heart is(sorry) But my wife got me into Mopars. Im going to run a 40 Ford front end and an 80s ford truck rearend(9") I might use different wheels for the rear.

Cabs are expensive but what about a whole truck already blasted and primered. If I wasnt three projects deep and four projects behind I might have picked this one up.

To high for no title in my book. I dont need the fenders so they arent worth anything to be and rough fenders are hard to get a decent price for.
