Thread: 1958 Dodge utility truck

Tweet

Well, the van moved onto a new owner last week who seems very happy with it. That was really a fun build although it blew up into a full resto that I hadn't planned.

So, onto the next conquest! After all the issues with the 48 nothing calms the nerves like pulling a new project into the garage. I found this in Kentucky; its a 58 Dodge utility truck that was retired from a local fire department several years back. Other than some rust here and there and a bad repaint this thing is solid as a rock and runs and drives really nice for a 61 year old truck. 230 inch flathead with a four speed. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet; the guy i got it from had it licensed and used it for a weekend cruiser. For now I'll probably just put a new factory floor mat in it, replace the dry rotted tires, and find some matching hubcaps.
