    I knew right off I was gonna hate this truck. Bite my tongue----To me most old Dodge trucks are butt ugly. Not just ugly, but butt ugly!:rofl2:
    But I love this one and would like to hitch it to an old RV and follow the highways. :clap:

    That's why they made so many different brands and styles. We all like something else. The early Chevy trucks have always been what I liked and the engines have nothing to do with it.
    Dodges and Studebaker trucks just looked to bulky in front.
    But this 1950 Dodge looks more like a heavy duty Chevy big truck.

    My dad was a Dodge truck man. He had had a few when I was growing up. None as old as that one. In a couple of the pics it looks like a toy.

    That's Nelly, my 1950 Studebaker/Superior 'school' bus.
    Did you maybe mean the later '57 and up fiberglass-nosed Transtars?
    Here is Dad's '62 next to Nelly~

    I like the earlier ones myself. :whew:

    Looks a little short to put one of those JerrDan beds on. Have been thinking, for a while now, if I won the Lotto and started collecting nice old cars, I'd want a nice old truck to tow them around with.
