1938 Dodge pickup street rod, rat rod shop truck.

1938 Dodge pickup.

The truck is not what is looks like! It looks like an old Junker and that's how I like it. actually it's anything but that. The truck was built on it's original frame with Corvette C-4 suspension front and rear. It was done right it goes down the road strait and true.  It has 4 wheel power disc brakes with power rac-n-pinion steering. Vintage AC that blows nice and cold. The motor is a 305 with edelbrock intake and summit 650 duel feed carburetor. The radiator is aluminum with electric fans front and back. The truck runs cool around 170-180 in the Florida heat. The transmission is overdrive 700r that works great. The rear has stock gear so she runs on the interstate at 70MPR @ 2. 00 RPM's. The battery is located under the right rear fender it's in a drop down stainless steel box. The wiring is painless system and very wire is tagged with nice new fuse panel. The steering column is GM with tilt and key on the side. The gages are electric Dolphin and are all working as they should it also has working dome lights and under dash lights that come on when the doors are opened. It has an electric wiper motor and there is a wire running to it but I never hooked it up because I don't drive it in the rain. The glove box works fine and I built a steel insert and put a radio inside. I also put insulation under the carpet for sound and heat deading. The doors have bare claw latches and they do have electric solenoids but I never hooked them up I like the door handles. The electric windows work fine but I only have them on the drivers side not the passenger. Both door glass have some cracking I was going to replace them but decided to keep them because they ad to the look of the truck.  The body was striped and left outside to rust! yes it needed that rusty patina that it now has. The body is very solid but not rust free you can see where there are some patches here and there. The body is not clear coated yet. that was my next thing to do but I have been driving the truck everywhere and enjoying it and have been working on other projects so I never got around to it. The front end is tilt and you open it by pulling on the grenade on the front of the hood. Don't worry guys it's not live! The body is steel but the fenders and running boards are fiberglass. There are just painted to look like rust. The front end has Zeus fasteners that hold it down. The running boards are reinforced so you can steep on them. It has a custom built tailgate that functions fine and the bed has pressure treated wood. The wheels are from a late model trans-am with nice tires it sits right and they do not scrape. The gas tank has a submersible high pressure fuel pump because the truck had a tune port injection when I got it. It never worked right so I converted it to carburation and I have had no problems with it. The truck is very reliable and drives like a dream you can let go of the wheel and she goes strait down the road. there is no play at all in the steering and it handles like a spots car. I really don't want to sell her but I have to many projects going and I've tried to sell some of my other cars first but there's no money out there so maybe someone will like my truck as much as I do and see the value. You could not build the truck for what I'm asking. I'm open to realistic offers but won't give it away. There is a ton of time and money invested and she still looks like a rusty old truck! I love it!!
