Would love to see this old classic fully restored as there is so much of it still intact. The lower half of the grill looks like the old Plymouth and Dodge car grills of that time.
If 100 percent originally isn't mandatory, a 265 Chrysler flathead six will give it a bit more oomph and only a few old Mopar fans would know the difference. 265 looks like a 218 except its 2 inches longer and has a tower full flow oil filter. The 265 can be overbored to 282 inches and the torque will feel about like a later 318 v8. The 25-1/2 in motors are better for higher speed driving than the 218/230. The 265 is easier to get power from than the Ford L-head V8 - unless you spend a lot of money.
I'm sorry dude but that truck is actually very rusted. Still, it's a beautiful truck and I love it. For its age oh, sure it's not all that bad. But restoring these old trucks takes a lot of work. All those designs where custom fit. It's one of the reasons why these trucks are just so beautiful. The thought and hand-crafted workmanship was amazing back then. These people really knew how to work. Not the people don't know how to work today but I'm just saying. The Dodge truck is in my opinion the most beautiful of all the older 40s style trucks. I wish I could own one. I've wanted one for so many years.
Actually it’s not it’s something you have to see in person, but we did fix 4 areas of rust, a couple places in lower fenders, the running boss and tailgate. It’s an original truck so hard to find!!
I have a '46... I will be restoring... beautiful truck. Mine has a 251 motor from the '50's also... out ofa DeSoto taxi. Hope to see another video of it running around. Enjoy!
I almost had my hands around a 1943 Dodge truck. We just couldn't negotiate a price. I've always wished I just paid whatever it took. It was in a lot worse shape, but I just love these trucks. It's the only vehicle I would never sell once I fixed it up.
Hey there! I came across ur YT, I'm trying to get rid of my dad's old truck. It was suppose to be a family project but he got sick. I have no idea how to go about selling it. Any tips would help!
Hi, you know I never got that far on this thing, that was my plan, but a guy who follows us had to have it, so it went back east before I could work on it! Miss this old truck!
In a decrepit and worn state, a 1940's Dodge truck usually goes for about $750-$2900, mint but used can go for $4500-$30000 and a fresh off the assembly line or showroom condition can average $37000-$110000.
that is in amazing condition !! would love to have that
my dad had a 1940 doge half ton with that reliable 6 in it......i was about 6 then .....it was 1966 just loved it.

Very cool, I ended up selling this before I ever got to work on it, wasn’t my intention, but a guy in NY saw it and was like, I got to have it!!!

43 would have been pretty Rare since around the beginning of 42 they stopped making civilian models, that would have been a cool find!!!
What a beauty.

Hello,it's Ol_Caddie from BaT. If I was you, I would keep it for a parts runner!
Hey Ol_Caddie, yeah this is one heck of a truck!!, Maybe I will, you never know what Ill do!!!
What did it sell for
You need to pressure wash it and get all of the dirt off of it
Did you turn the engine?
Its fires up?
Got it running?

Did you ever get it running?
Would love to have if price is right
Please do video on Chevy truck parked beside this dodge.
They came with two tone paint
What is something like this worth?
I sold it no. Running for about 8, then it got shipped to NY for $1500 so I would say 10k
