Big red Dodge

Ah Mundijong, I went through there the other day when I got lost going to Malaga, looks like a nice place, A bloke I know from Kalgoorlie lives out that way now I think.

Great Dodge, that rust around the mounting points for the front guards seems to be a common problem.
Does yours have the cross steering ie steering box on RHS, just behind the front axle and steering the LH wheel, which then steers the RH wheel via a drag link.

Hardtopman, well bought mate. Just looking at your last photo in the first lot, not often that you see a generator these days. Was just looking at the genny & noticed how close the fan blades appear to be to the genny pulley, are they that close or is it just an optical illusion. Good to be able to drive it whilst you work on it, helps keep up the interest. All the best, cheers Tim

what a tuff lookin truck that is!!!!!!

You may be well aquainted with the petrol bowsers with that V8 petrol, but the sound, the sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Music to ones ears
Good luck with it all

nice pickup!

V8 petrol ain't that bad really! ... little bit of attention to detail in the tuning department goes a long way.

ditch the 8.25 tyres and upsize to 9.00 .... just like having overdrive

being a early 361 has it got the 2bbl holley ? by the way i want one of those trucks now

No has the normal set up for the steering with the box mounted at the front R/H rail and drag link back to axle. And then the ram pushes from one side of the front axle to the steering arm on the other side. The set up you are thinking was used on the early 48-53 trucks that were out of Canada.

No it got the BBD 2 barrel Carter same as the early AT4 361's.

Nice score Bruce,will need a bigger shed before you start building the new one.

Working the old girl


And some junk i have scored that i have to go get when it cools down





At4 is a 690 that i will grab the poly and 5 speed and then the power giant has had a perkins 354 put in it.

4WD Austin would be worth saving i reckon, story i was told it was ex army, brought in low miles after some conflict and used as fire engines
