Slight Change In Direction

After starting to tear down the S10, I came across an interesting local ad during my periodic craigslist browsing: 1954 Dodge cab on 2000 S10 frame - $600. Wow! What are the chances? I went to look at it and ended up buying it.

This S10 was 13 years newer than the one I had bought previously and the S10 body and drivetrain was already out! The '54 cab was in good shape and I'll be able to steal some parts from it too - most importantly the windshield! The windshield on my truck is cracked and fogged but new windshields are extremely hard to find for my style and are over $600 new. Too rich for my blood. The reason they are hard to find and expensive to replace is my style of windshield was only produced for 1.5 model years - 1954 through early-1955 - before Dodge switched to a 50's style wrap around (with vertical B-pillars). This '54's windshield was in great shape!



The front clip fits inside the bed of a late model Ford pickup - can even put up the tailgate! :)
