...in CA, before my infamous "free candy" van crapped the bed in Phoenix...

Okay, I'll play...
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

Got it, apologies for threadcrapping. Maybe one of the mods can pull the posts.

Well, call me crazy but I went and looked at that 58 power wagon. Gonna go ahead and buy it, nice and solid truck no rust! Big back window cab. Frame and hardware rebuilt. Rebuilt 440, no trans or Driveline’s but I’ve got that covered. Now just gotta finish my a-100. Nice score , do you live in Idaho? Seen one at a house near me like that.

Well.... I gave my son the panel for painting my Charger and a-100. Moved some things around in the shop. put it up on a table and started tearing it apart. going to be ladder bar at the rear and mustang 2 in the front, gen3 hemi with a single hair dryer. It never ends! Nice work. So I'm old and a little bit slow, if you gave the panel to your son for previous deads why are you working on it ? Panels look so good.

I really like your truck speeder. What engine do you have in it? 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.
