poorboy I Live Here Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 10,527 Freeport IL USA	Twenty four years ago I bought a 58 D100. I had to buy all the cars and trucks from an estate to get that truck. I sold off one car, scrapped out 2 cars, and drove the one other truck for several months. The 58 didn't need much, I had big plans. Enter my wife's younger brother, he just has to have the cool old truck. My wife convinced me I should sell it to him, and help him get it running, which I did. Two months after I got it running, the little brat sold the truck! I think my wife was more mad then I was, and I wan't very happy. I wouldn't mind getting another one, but this one wouldn't be leaving. It seems that when they turn up I never have money, and when I have money, I can never find one. Gene

I've always wanted a '54-'55 panel (I like the split hood). My version would have it look almost like a resto on the outside, but all modern underneath (2 wheel drive). This is kinda what I had in mind, even the trailer! Cool trucks! Last edited by Satilite73; 03/14/19 11:11 AM. Reason: added pic John The dream is dead, long live the dream.......😥

A pic of my junk from when I was in WA... i'm betting the 54 rear end retired a bit earlier then you wanted it to. Technically, a 54 is considered a "Functional Design Era" 1954-1956. The "Power Giant Era" was from 1957 to 1960 And the 1961-1971 were the "Sweptline Era" The earlier 1948-1953 were the "Pilot-House Era". And the 1939-1947 were the "Job Rated Era". The 1936-1938 were called the "Fore-Point Era". The 1933-1935 were called the "Glamour Era". Interestingly enough, the 1901-1932 were just "Dodge Trucks". Just in case you didn't know, The Dodge brothers were parts suppliers for the 1900 auto industry. They supplied motors and transmissions for many of the car companies during that time. They also invested in the startup of the Ford Motor Company and supplied the new Ford Company with motors and transmissions. They were very wealthy men at the time. The Dodge Brothers Motor company developed because of a feud with Ford. Gene

poorboy I Live Here Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 10,527 Freeport IL USA	The "Job Rated" emblem on the grill of the Pilot House Still remained, it even carried on at least the through the first body style of the Functional Design trucks, about mid way through the 1955 model year. The Job Rated classifications were real popular with the Soldiers returning from WW2 and Korea. Though the company may have changed the classifications of the trucks, the Soldiers coming home were still looking for the Job Rated, so Dodge wisely kept putting the emblems on. You will find few things on the 30s through the early 60s Dodge trucks had a definitive start and stop date, as innovations came along, they were installed on the trucks as soon as the parts became available, and those change overs could begin at a different point at each truck plants. Dodge didn't wait until the new model year to begin the new innovations. Gene

Yours looks just like one from my area that belonged to a rural "neighbor" in the 60s who used to stop and give me a ride into town when I was walking to school. His was the factory orange with white wheels just like yours. I have a soft sport for these trucks. - EM

Yours looks just like one from my area that belonged to a rural "neighbor" in the 60s who used to stop and give me a ride into town when I was walking to school. His was the factory orange with white wheels just like yours. I have a soft sport for these trucks. - EM Always nice to hear the stories related to these trucks, they are lots of fun. It makes me slow down and enjoy more, me anyway since I have been working around fast (loud) top fuel dragsters and off road trophy tucks in the past. Al is powered by a 1957 392 Hemi that was installed by the original owner in Templeton, Cal. way before I bought it. It did not run and did not stop either so I brought it back to life trying to keep the patina in place. Andy www.troxellsgarage.com

Not a glamorous job but I enjoyed it. Baja was fun too for many years. Andy www.troxellsgarage.com

Yes, a full team mostly friends and family run with two to three cars usually, the races like Vegas to Reno and Barstow are I think the most fun plus your not gone from home for a week like Mexico races. Even though though are the biggest races ever. How does a guy go from drag racing to Baja, or from Baja to drag racing? Gene After my friend I helped in drag racing past away I didn't want to do it anymore so I took sometime off and built my R/T to get my mind off the loss. Then another close friend knew I missed racing offered me to come with him to Mexico and race and I was hooked. Funny how totally different the two types of racing are and just as much fun. Thanks for asking Andy Andy www.troxellsgarage.com

Very nice, looks great, and you have shop space (a strange concept)! Thank you for posting. I love panels so much I bought one (other make). And that would also be the single hair dryer I see to the left ?
