Nice work. I always liked the VC, VF Dodges.

 

[Ferroequinologist]

Wow, awesome job!

I love the old Dodges!

 

[MWMULES]

Me likely! One KCCLAY and I recovered last year, winches are rare.

Those front fenders are way cool! Looks like you straightened the drivers side eh? That must have been fun.The sheet metal in those trucks will give you a workout! Very nice rig!

 

[scottgs]

Nice job! That's a really nice truck with lots of character and good looks.

I've got to admit, I was momentarily confused when I looked at the thread and realized it's not a 6x6!

[Danger Ranger]

I'm in, this looks cool. Keep posting pics! It looks great

 

[bikeman]

Man, that looks NICE. I've never seen one like that.

MWMULES: are those bullet holes?

 

[scottgs]

Is that the truck that is in a photo in the Brooklands Dodge book, where there are a few hundred all lined up ready for delivery?

 

[PIGTOWNDODGE]

added some more of the bed and dual spare tire mounts

 

[gabby4244]

Hey PigTown, did your truck come with dual spare tire mounts or is that your idea ?? Your doing a heck of a job !

 

[PIGTOWNDODGE]

dual mounts were stock as far as i can tell. Kind of makes sense due to the directional tires that you see on the vf trucks in all available pictures that I have seen. Each stock wheel is marked for location.Thanks for your interest.

 

[Wolfen]

Very nice.

I guess that make sense with having a directional tread. The later version 1 1/2 ton singe axle,(g506... ) only had one spare mount, maybe because it had non directional tires ?! I have been on a long, diligent hunt for a g506 '42 to '44. Trying to find that one that has it all, but just might end up getting two,,but that wouldn't be the worst thing I guess ! I have to say , seeing your truck, makes me think it would be a very close 2nd choice !! Keep posting your great work !!!!!!!!!!!!
