1947 Dodge Pick-up
Street Rod For Sale
Underneath the deep luster of PPG’s black paint resides an
all steel 1947 Dodge Pick-up. The tail
gate and running boards are custom yet all steel. Using a 1979 Lincoln Versailles for a donor
drivetrain, its 351 Windsor, C4 transmission, and disc brake equipped 9” rear
end was utilized in this build. The
frame is completely boxed in to give it rigidity. Fatman Fabrications tubular control arm
Mustang 2 front suspension kit was installed along with a four-link rear
suspension set-up dampened by QA1 coil-overs on all four corners making this
truck handle like a modern car. The 351W
built by Proformance in NJ is 9.5:1, roller rockers and lifters, comp cam, ported and polished heads, and runs pump gas producing just shy of 400 HP and
north of 400 Ft/Lbs. of Torque. Matched
to a TCI built C4 Trans with a 3000 RPM stall converter this light little truck
will surprise most. Open up the
electronic exhaust dump valves when you need it to really breath or just draw
attention. Due to the performance
aluminum radiator this truck never has ran hot. Nobody likes it too hot, so
Vintage Air was installed and blows nice and cold. The Dodge was wired using a painless harness
and a GM tilt column making it a bit more comfortable to drive while sitting on
a red leather Tea’s bench seat. A custom
cluster was made up using VDO gauges, power windows and shaved door handles
giving it those finishing touches one would expect from a premium build. Speakers have been installed in the red
leather overhead console. Custom wood bed with stainless bed strips and a
polished fuel cap finish out the box. 18” X 8” up front with 20” X 10” in the
back exemplifies that altitude is attitude.
Fatman Fabrications used this truck for their advertising
and it has been featured in magazines. These magazines, dyno sheets, and any other paper work that pertains to
the build will be included in the sale.
“The
story behind the logo is my Father-In Law has a small farm just outside Bowling
Green in Sparta, Va. He needed a banner to represent his produce business
and to hang on his stand at the farmers’ markets. He told me he wanted a
40-50’s style pinup girl to represent his business because he specialized and
grew several different types of melons which he would feature as his prized
produce…therefore, he wanted a buxom pin up girl like the ones on the WW II
bomber nose art to get his message across, which was, “where the melons grow
naturally big” I created what you see on the door using Photoshop and he
hung the banner around his stand to get attention at the farmers market in
front of the Court House in Bowling Green. His idea was to put that
message/design on the ‘47 because it was black and would stand out on that
truck.”
