Those are both solid looking trucks, I can't believe you're using the Club as a donor!

And one that appears to be in pretty decent shape at that.

you use what you have to make what you want.

they were conrail trucks. used on railroads. they had metal wheels on them.

I guess thats what is nice about dodge everything will bolt right back in and you end up with a sweet truck when your done and the Pride of knowing that you did it yourself .

You guys in the Pacific NW are spoiled w/ all of your solid, relatively rust free trucks. As I'm sure 93 Fury can attest to also, any remaining first gens in the rust belt are usually in "donor" condition.

So these were converted after they were built, or GM built them this way? That would necessitate a special frame unless the longbed one was chopped. I'd love to see pics of one.

the donor truck was a write off, although very minor a dent in the drivers fender and box side and a broken dana 60 knuckel

I actually bought both trucks from the US for 2500 each . the CC was from Colorado < but came from Arizona .
The girlfriend and I flew down and drove it back(with no third gear)
The guy was nice enough to tell us when we picked it up that third was a bit sticky.
Made it all the way to the Canadian border before the alternator cooked the battery
i'll start a build thread
