1953 Dodge custom build.
Hi. I have been building a 53 Dodge truck for the last few years (off and on), back on it again now, cab is off, bed is apart, finish bodywork underway. Here is a pic of it before I blew it apart to get the bodywork done.

custom made bed front. I used a piece from another cab. It matches the curve of the rear of the cab.

good looking truck bud... sittin' low, did you put baggs under it? is that a dakota frame?
Re: 1953 Dodge custom build.
Hi Rich, thanks. The truck sits on a 91 Dakota frame, it is not bagged, it has full suspension travel at that height. I put the Dakota firewall and front floor in the 53 and channeled the body over the frame.
