Thread: Taking Ideas On Project!

  1. #1

    Default Taking Ideas On Project!

    Here's the starting point. A non-running 1954 Dodge M152 with a 318 shoved in it. Anyone else see the vision?

    Ohhh man what a great find. I totally can see the vision!

    There was one for sale near me a few years ago in a lovely olive drab. I kept stopping and looking at it. Guy wanted $7k for it but it was right. The body was perfect. Somebody swapped in a Ford 429 and she was a runner.

    I detect the faint oder of a B series Cummins--back it up with a NV5600, a Stak 3 speed t'case, a bit 'O body work, some wiring, some minor stitching inside, a whole bunch of elbow grease....

    and

    ....a fridge.

    A Cummins definitely, flat tan color. OOH and a custom made hydraulic actuated power flip top roof/tent.

    And I would leave the cool rear-for-front bumper too, but then again I'm odd like that

    What a grat find. I think we all see the insane potential for this project. I am down with the diesel idea, and just too many thoughts going through my head to put down here. Keep us up to date on the project, and I would go green with it
