Went junkin' the other day and stumbled upon this POS. MAde an offer and now I'm the "Proud"? owner...


1937 Chevy truck. (Or what's left of it). Gonna be Chrysler powered, with a 4-speed. Obnoxiously loud, Long duration Solid lift cam, Maybe a tunnel ram and some huge rear tires, Once the Challenger is done of course. The best part? No matter how "Hacked"/"Cheesy", etc. my work, it probably be considered "Legit"...

It'll be nice to se a Chevy hot rod powered by a Chrysler.  I'm glad you are using your powers for good and not evil. ;)

And NO the engine will NOT have plug wires through the damn valve covers either. IMO, that's worse than dumping a SBC in it. :D

I dunno, an early Hemi would be cool and not so expensive.

Well, with the current "Me too--Rat Rod---Gotta jump on the bandwagon" craze, I've seen these bodies get over $1500.00 for what i bought here for $300.00....

Course, it took me this long and even then, it fell in my lap practically. That's how I've gotten all my rides. Someone else's junk after the craze has passed by. A day late and a Dollar short.
