1959 Dodge 3-59D

my 1970 AT4 with the 361 is probably less than a inch from the steering !

Went and got cab from up the northern wheat belt this weekend and now have her home. Is heaps better than my cab.

Hey Melonreo, re the Barracuda pics, the guy in the car is Jeff Chase, he sells everything Valiant at all the swap meets in Oz. If you blow up the magnification on the pic taken from the front, check out the back seat of the car, you'll see a bird cage, everywhere they go they take the pet galah, like a lot of people take their dog, with them it's the galah, must be the most travelled cocky in the country. He also has a 225 2 door LHD Plymouth, they love the Valiants so long as they are the R & S series shape.

A few more of the big cut!!

My lucky day look what just dropped in my lap. A guy in the car club had these and never knew what they were off. One more piece of the puzzle. Pics of my phone.

Few more steps today, got the front clip off and also got the whole lot off the trailer. Plan is to make up a trolly that the cab sits on so i can work on it easya

Whats the second hole in the bellhousing for???

Looks like just the way they cast them.

A quik easy trolly is use a cupla kids skate boards (AZ iZ)
Ideal for rollin stuff around on hard surface as in concrete etc

nice truck. love atkipetes picture of a finished one. Now I have to look at our Canadian, or American 59's to see the difference. I don't remember there being any butterfly hood lids on our 59 dodges, but I stand to be corrected. Personally, it has every bit as much charm as my 60 International. Manfred, from the "great white north" ( that's a goofy comedy routine on SCTV) actually I live in a fairly warm end of Canada, albeit, not as warm as oz, but it's ok.
