Andrew's 73 challenger

[one54dodgetruck]

Bad ass truck!  I used to work for a company that built bucket trucks out of International 4700's.  I've tossed around this very same idea, I just never came across an affordable chassis.  I also love the 60's-early 70's Dodge trucks.  I still miss my 70 shortbed.  They make some fairly good looking "off road" tires for some of the backwoods trucks that would look good on that.  And I think a vertical stack would be cool too.

Sorry to hear about the Challenger.  If you still need a rear panel I have one in the parts bin that I don't need.  Good luck!

I bought a tail panel form 68-383bee and picked up a great trunk lid from rocket restorations. I think the truck would look cool with super singles and 54" michelins.

Today I ordered a TCP global general lee orange base coat clear coat kit and a extra gallon of base for the car. Tomarrow the tail panel will be fixed, or at least some progress on it.

I had forgotten all about the dark silver JA5.  Sure looks great in the pix, and would certainly be a rare color.  Good luck on the project.

You've certainly made some good progress with fixing the damaged areas so far!   Looking good!
