In my last post I slipped in the pun that we were going to "pick it up". You can tell by my expression that I'm having doubts about the original plan.

It didn't get completely in the air but this was tense going for a bit.

A little teeter-totter action with a steel plate under the oil pan to help it slide.

I don't know about you guys but I can't bring a project home and not get some quick "seat time" in it right away! The Honda buckets I've had laying around the shop fit inside the cab well. Without the headrests they tuck into the cove under the rear window perfectly. The thing that really surprises me about this is that I felt more comfortable sitting in this tiny cab in those seats than the factory bench in my '78 pickup!
I got the fenders/grille shell mocked up with it on the trailer still but it was too dark for a pic. I'll try to get one tomorrow.

Okay, here's the pic. I stuffed some rallyes I had laying around under it just for looks.

I have been wanting a truck like that for a long time.. One day I wil lhave it..
What I would do is to put it on a dakota frame, a Cummins 4bt with an Intercooler and a HX35 turbo, an injector upgrade and a 47rh behind it.
It would be incredible... One day... One day..
Great find on an awesome truck...

http://earlyiron.com/index.php makes some glass parts for it. I have never purchased anything from them but I have talked to the guy a couple of times. He was helpful and didn't mind spending the time to figure out what was needed.

Cheeto,
I'd still like to buy that old engine and transmission for my 37 pickup.

I'd suggest a 400 cubic inch (should be able to find one cheap since the muscle car group isn't looking for them) with a long arm cross ram intake (don't hesitate to weld it up yourself if you can't find an original) so that you've got a 4 barrel carb hanging out over each front fender!! Leave the hood off so everyone can get a good look. (one less part you need to find) Now THAT would be eye popping!!! Tav

Those headlights look good, and would answer what I'm going to do for turn signals.
Almost any engine will fit and as said no hood means one less problem. This is my 37 Dodge, I'm planning on keeping the top of the hood, but sides are available is you need them and if they work (I suspect they are the same as the Plymouth).

The way the weather has been lately, that may be a pretty bold statement. A record snowfall for your parts would be pretty much ANY snowfall, eh? Gene
