Man, you did one heck of a great job on that truck...


The floors rot out because of two reasons.... The cowl develops a crack in it, and then the water accumulates under the floor mat / rubber rug bottom.

When the water cant get out.... you experienced what happens...


Great job.. love the truck, and someday I'm going to build me a short bed version of yours, except 4x4. Shorten a 250 like a few of the other DTR members have, and it looks really cool.... but with your bed style on it, would make it the machine to plow snow with.. It will ride harsh, because of the shortened WB, but IMO would really be fun to drive anyway..


Thanks for sharing your ride with us....

 

cowl cracks fixed!

 

ran a flat bed for the summer while sticking the bed togeather.by the way there is a dodge steel bed floor welded in the bed.i,m going to put an old style lund visor on as soon as i get it painted.that' it.hope i didn't bore you guys.

 

I say leave the Dodge name off. Only Cummins. Dodge outsourced decades ago. They need to be punished for that.

Leave the tailgate just as it is.

 

The visor will look good on your truck since you have an old style bed. It'll give it an "old school" tinge.

I think I'm gunna run with silver window tint on mine.

 

Did someone order a Big Red Express ?

 

Wow we're u find that at looks like it would be a fun project

 

Cseby...How did you do your feul door? Was that existing or not?

 

i cut a peice out of a dodge bed.fuel door and the sheet metal around it.there was no fuel door in the left chevy fender.welded it in.that way i could use the dodge fuel neck.

 

I've always wondered how a chevy stepside would look on a dodge and it's pretty good on the 81 up.
