After kicking it around I decided to NOT to tear down this old dodge truck and build it back on the chevy blazer chassis as I originally planned. First my 16 year old daughter had claimed the blazer as her own and second this truck is just all there and not in that bad shape. So I am working on getting this truck running. The spark plugs have rusted off of the head so I am working on taking the head off...one bolt at a time. The engine serial number starts with S11- according to the websites that decode them says it's a 1946 desota motor....crazy but it did come with one dodge hubcap and one desota hubcap....maybe a replacement motor at one time,,,

I think it will still be kewl as long as you leave the rust on it....i think it looks awesome the way it is.

Thanks I would consider airbags and a chopped top after it is running.

The desota motor blows me away..

Even if it doesn't get chopped I say air bag it.
Without a doubt leave the rusty appearance.

Most certainly it will rust in peace

Head off to reveal a nice hole burned into the cylinder wall....,so time to go to plan B, 350/350..so much for antiquity..

Truck looks great, couple of wheels, and a running motor/trans and you've got a winner.

Coincidentally I just saw a '46 Dodge PU on Ebay today and fell in love with it. Here's the listing and below is a video that may inspire you:

Why not stick with the Dodge theme and go with a 360/727 or some other Mopar combo? There's plenty available out there...

I agree with rubberhead

I found a 318/727 combo on craigslist for 200 bones for Ms Dee's car

I have to agree on staying with the dodge theme too, if possible. We have a few 318's for sale on craigslist here locally. Think that would just ad to the badness of your ride.
