1953 Dodge Pickup. Frame Off restoration. All panels were painted both both sides prior to re-assembly. Rear fenders have Rhino Lining underneath. Truck is originally from Minnesota. Was in storage from 1975 until I bought it. Restoration took 7 years (mostly due to cost). 318 V-8 engine was rebuilt by Competition Engines in Raritan NJ (known for drag racing at Englishtown). Engine has been hopped up with the following: Edelbrock Performane Cam # EDL-2177, Edelbrock Performance Intake Manifold # EDL-2176, Edelbrock Timing Chain # EDL-7803, Edelbrock Polished Aluminum Valve Covers # EDL-4295, Edelbrock 600 CFM Marbuerator # 1405, Manley Performance Valves & Valve Springs. Custom headers ceramic coated by Jet-Hot Coatings. Dual three inch exhaust through flowmaster mufflers. Three inch side exhaust through chrome extensions. The sound is pretty loud but right for this truck. Three speed automatic 727 Torqueflight transmission rebuilt by Midway Transmissions. B&M Shifter. Custom oak bed with polished stainless bed rails. Custom solid oak rear bumper. Custom polished stainless steel grill (I still have the original which goes with the truck). Grant Steering wheel. The steering wheel and the wood on the dash are solid walnut. Alpine AM / FM CD Player. Brushed 15" Aluminum wheels all around. New master brake cylincer and new stainless brake lines (not power brakes but they work fine). Rear is from a 1969 Dodge Coronet (not a posi rear). Truck still has original front end (rebuilt) but is very driveable. All electronics switched over to twelve volt system. Auto-Meter gages. Less than 700 miles since restoration. New White headliner is installed though not shown in Photos. Additional large blue Iron Cross on headliner. This truck has won many trophies at local auto shows and is unique in it's look. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the truck is for sale locally. I will not help with shipping via flatbed, etc. Can deliver within reasonable distance of Hillsborough, NJ (I will drive truck there). $500 due at auction end. Balance upon delivery - cash or bank check which we will go to the bank and deposit. (sorry - too many bad checks out there).
