Project Vintage Adventure 1953 Dodge Power Wagon
- Thread starter Wade Trimble
- Start date
N0t much for pictures to show, but ordered up another round of parts.
- 4" turbo flange and v band clamp, 4 " 90 elbow, so I can start fabbing a down pipe. I think I'm gonna add an exhaust brake for steep declines
- fuel tank came in, can build mounts now
- decide to rebuild the HE351cw turbo while I'm at it, including compressor wheel, new oil lines, and fab a manual wastegate/boost adjuster
- order door hinges and pins
On a side note, I spent some cash on my daily driver/overlander
2014 Dodge 3500 single wheel Cummins. EGR and DPF delete with a 60hp tune, Leer canopy, and 285/75R18 Toyo AT Extremes. I'll throw a pic of it up later, I love the new tires. Living in the flat prairies, I may use this truck to trailer my 1953 a little close to the mountains instead of having to drive it 8hrs on the highway. Ideally though, the '53 turns out so ghood that I can drive it anywhere!
