39 dodge welding rig

K5's? They make a whole lot more noise if you can point them straight at the ground, then there loud in a 360 degree radius VS blowing the ear drums of only whoever is behind you.

Been a long while since I’ve posted last. Been busy with the new family, debated selling it but came back to my senses. Started to rework the not so great job I did on the firewall the first go around. Hoping to get some time to work on it today.

Glad to hear you’re making some progress again. Looking forward to some updates.

Jl12valve- I am in the same boat, had a little girl born on 9/11 so I get just a few hours on sats to work on my 56 project. Keep at it, no rush, just enjoy the family and the project when you can

 

[Jl12valve]

Congrats man, kids are the best.

Managed to get the interior painted, kilmat sound deadening mat in place and some better seat brackets built up over the past couple days. Also got working on some drawings for my three 8” subs. It will also house my deck, which will be sealed from the sub cavity, that way I don’t have to cut up the dash.

Any updates on this project?

 

[Jl12valve]

She lives! Finally drove it a couple weeks back. Just need some real plates and it’ll be fairly legal!


And yes it isn’t 4x4 anymore, just a boring ol bagged 2wd

 

[Red Sleeper]

With that much cool factor, who cares that it’s 2wd. Good job on getting it rolling under its own power.

But we need some better pictures of engine compartment and interior setup. Or a video of the whole rig.

What brand welder are you setting on the bed?

I second this!!

 

[BigPapa]

Your pics are making me drunk. Let me help you out with that.

 

[Jl12valve]

Hahaha I’m sorry guys, I’ve never been able to master the photos on here. Might be time to setup photobucket or whatever is best to get the pics coming out straight. If I ever get around to finding a welder for it it’ll be an old Lincoln sa250 black face

 

[Jl12valve]

Hood is fit up, need to add some metal to the back but otherwise looks a lot more complete

 

[sootie]

why the change from mild lift 4x4 to bagged 2wd

 

[Jl12valve]

It was always my first plan with the build but got a wild hair and built the 4x4. Didn’t like how it was turning out and simply don’t enjoy climbing into things lol. Nice to be able to drop right in.

 

[TheBac]

That is pretty darn cool. Nice work!

 

[RacinDuallie]

Its cool. BUT..... I am sad its not the 4wd badass you posted previously of......

 

[Jl12valve]

Milled the wheels, wrapped them and slapped them on. One small step at a time

 

[Red Sleeper]

That looks great.
Too many old trucks today made to look like they are in bad condition. Yours has just the right flavor for me.
