1951 Dodge "Job Rated" 1/2 Ton Pickup barn find

Plenty of Chevys and Fords but the Dodges are hard to find.

Make an awesome fenderless Rat Rod on a Dodge Dakota or S-10 frame maybe.

Flat head 6 with 3 speed manual. Engine seems complete with oil bath air cleaner and oil filter. The original honeycomb radiator and the heater show no signs of leaks, antifreeze is clean. Engine oil is clean.

Are  you tired of working on a project that is rusted beyond repair then this is the truck for you. Southern vehicle, no salt damage!
The floors have some rust but could be patched and not totally replaced, the door bottoms have very little rust.

The cab corners are solid. The hinges don't sag.
The previous owner says the truck has been in a carport for several years and from the lack of serious rust it must have been protected from the elements most of it's life.
The truck has lots of dents that make it a perfect candidate for the Rat Rod treatment.
Has plywood as bed floor.

The original front suspension seems to be all intact and the manual steering box and steering seem tight.

I was told by the previous owner that he was driving it up to 2 yrs ago.
I didn't try to get the motor running but I did spin it over with a battery.
It has a new fuel pump and some brake work (some new steel lines, rubber hoses and appears master cylinder was rebuilt or new) by the previous owner. Brake pedal currently goes to the floor. The emergency brake works.

Original seat has good support and the original covers can be seen under a loose seam on the aftermarket seat covers. The original door panel cardboard is still in place and could probably be used as a pattern.

The front windshields and corner curved glass are not cracked. The side windows are all cracked.
All side glass mechanisms work. Doors open and close and latch.
Original instruments, condition unknown, are included.  Not sure but I think it has been converted to 12 volts.

There are four original 16" wheels (2 on the truck rear now), also have four 15" Mopar wheels to go with the truck. Standard Mopar 5 on 4/12" bolt pattern. All the tires are only good enough to load the car on a trailer.

Spare tire holder has one of the original 16" wheels.

I had planned a 350 with automatic overdrive, TCI front and rear suspension, power steering, Vintage Air, cruise and tilt.
