slick. It has original grill shell with ram hood ornament. Upfront

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Very cool to see a Dodge Hemi in a Dodge truck.
1950s Super Red Ram Hemi. Professionally rebuilt, bored 30 over,
has a hotter cam and a Mopar electronic ignition system. On top is
an Offenhauser intake and a new set of Edelbrock tri-power carbs,
all 3 are functional. It is beautifully dressed with polished
finned valve covers. An aluminum radiator, polished overflow bottle
and stainless hoses keep it running cool. I love the white
firewall.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The metal floor was replaced with refinished oak
and stainless steel strips. The fuel filler was relocated to the
bed floor and has Dodge gas cap. It also has custom tailgate
latches. The side walls are pristine metal painted as slick as the
truck itself.
UNDERSIDE: The body was lifted off the chassis and every single
component was taken apart and rebuilt or replaced. The whole bottom
of this truck is the same screaming yellow as it is on top. Up
front it has a 4 inch drop tubular axle. All new steering
components. New leaf springs and shocks front and back. Bottom of
the motor is clean, has a high torque starter. It uses a Mopar 833
4-speed with overdrive. A Ford 9 inch rear is in back with 3.89
gears. This will cruise all day at freeway speeds turning 1800 to
2000 RPMs. Disc brakes front and back, they used stainless steel
braided hoses. It also has a power brake unit under the truck. New
dual exhaust system goes all the way out the back with turn down
tips.
This is a quality, tastefully built vintage hot rod. Its a proven
show winner as recently as Sept 2020 and a proven driver with
10,000 fun filled miles under it's belt. It will be a joy to own
getting positive attention anywhere it goes!
