james_leland Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I know its not forging, but it took a lot of welding and burning. I am buliding a 1941 dodge 1 ton and putting it on a 1977 power wagon frame with chevy 1 1/2 axles with dana 60's both front and back and 4:11 gears. It will be powered by a 460 with a C-4 tranny and NP 205, will post more pics, I already have the cab and front clip in place. Oh the flatbed is made out of 4x2 and 4x1 square tubing.

Dodge Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Hey James, Neat project! I used to have a '56 1/2 ton. You can probably guess what my other hobby is. (Hint: my user name ) You know about this site? Moparts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fe-Wood Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Nice! Brings back fond memories... I had a '39 civilian cab on a '41 military 1 ton chassis for years. Truly an indestructible rig. Believe me, I tried. The front bumper was a piece of 1/4"x2x8" or 10" Channel. I side swiped a 8" dia. lodge pole pine at about 40 MPH. Bent the bumper back to a very complementary angle THATS IT! cut the tree off like a chain saw AND pulled the stump out of the ground when I ran over it with the doullies. I liked the new bumper angle so much... I did it to the other side...... Ahh, The things you do when your young.... My 51 willys was the best though. It could go places others could only dream of :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junker Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 why not put a cummins in it? either 4bt or 6bt, the ve pump is near indestructable and get's great mileage. the p-pump is just as good but more power and less mileage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
