39 dodge welding rig
After Some seriously bad timing on getting my 39 built I believe It’s finally time to get the ball rolling. Plans have changed pretty drastically since my other build thread. Using a 95 4x4 dodge frame chopped and boxed back half frame for a clean slate. Going with four corner air bags controlled by accuair. Four link setups coming from Darrel Reese (far from stock). Hoping those will be in next week so I can get going on the suspension. Getting my block freshly machined and a stock rebuild. Since I’m making it a work truck I will be stripping the paint fixing it up and going with a gray of some sort. I will be building the welding bed as well. Looking for a Lincoln classic 3D welder to sit on top. Since I’ll have plenty of onboard air I’ll be running to low profile Bostrom leather seats. I’ll try to keep the pictures coming in as much as possible.

Should be pretty cool when done. Just please done do the typical far from stock tire/wheel package I see all the time, looks like total garbage!

I’m going to need more practical wheels than that so no worries there lol
Yeah I really like what dodge did with the design on that grill.
Few more pics of the cab. Hopefully they are the right way this time
Building a new visor for it as well

Yes, I will be lining the firewall with heat resistant sound deadining mat then putting dynamat(or similar products) throughout the entire cab. The cab has about an inch and a half gap between the outer sheet metal and the head liner and interior liner so I’ll have plenty of room to insulate. The doors will be tricky though.

Got busy on the frame today, knocked off all the useless brackets and ground it smooth. Managed to get the back half tied together and welded to the frame as well. Hopefully picking up my wheels tomorrow and should have a rolling chassis by the end of this weekend. Engine rebuild kit will be in this week which means I’ll finally get my motor back. Looking forward to the bodywork portion of things.

Not much of an update but I did snag some welds for a pretty decent deal. Was going to buy any this soon but couldn’t pass them up.

I was nervous when you mentioned finding wheels but the styling of those will look good. Modern without being over-the-top compared to the old truck's lines and such. Based on how the frame was sitting in comparison to the wheel & fender, the truck will actually sit higher than that picture shows? Truck will be 4wd? Dually?

Thanks and yes it will be sitting higher when aired down. I should have about 10 inches of travel out of these bags but it’ll definitely sit higher than that
