Here's a picture of a dodge pickup I bought yesterday.
It's a southern states truck so although it looks rough there is no rot, the only downer is it's got a chevy V8 and a turbo 350 trans, why do people do that i wonder... but it is running and used on the road.

Awesome, don't ruin it by painting it whatever you do

I may sell it when it gets here, will just have to see.
I think it would look great as is but with a mopar motor, Big Block would be nice but i can't see one fitting and a 727, I have all the good stuff to build a really good 727 on it's way from the states.
It was either this or a 57 belv which i think is beautiful, but the belv reached a bit to much
The paint would be a problem here the truck is brown not rust but it looks so thin that rust wouldn't be long here

I'd not thought of that, I'll have to take a good look when it arrives
I'm also going to take all the measurements of Wildmans 440 while it's here, as ya never know

This is a friend of mine's VW.

Sadly he's had to replace the bottom 6 inches as it was a flintstone mobile but he likes the patina and has just put loads of wax over the top. The roof looks much like your pickup, all sunburnt

All it needs are door stickers with "Uncle Jesse's moonshine haulin' company."
