BBS10. Found in a Dodge Truck Graveyard! 1of 427! 1957 Dodge Power Wagons. Part 2. Will it run?

Описание: This video covers one of the truck projects in the works here at Burnout and Break Stuff.

This is a 1957 Dodge, W100, Power Wagon, Serial Number 82901092. According to www.townwagon.com, this is 1 of 427, W100, 116 WB, with 315 CI V8. It is number 92 off the assembly line from Detroit, Michigan. It is also a one year only body style.

I purchased this truck on April 17, 2011 with 69,169 miles showing on the odometer. I took the truck off the road with the intention of a complete restoration-modification using all the resources provided with the truck from the prior owner.

I have service records and receipts dating back to the early 1990’s. I have the 1957, K-Series, Power Giants, parts book from June, 1957. I have service manuals on CD for K-L&M series trucks from 1957-9.

10FEB93- J&H four wheel drive specialties install Dana 60 rear axle with new bearings, seals, brakes, wheel cylinders, 4.10:1 ring and pinion, with sure grip unit. $1,085.

05AUG95- 57,415 miles. Remove and replace all leaf springs. $1,227.92

16OCT97- 58,786 miles. Rick’s Auto Repair and Bud’s Machine shop. Remove, rebuild, install engine, new clutch assembly, and recored radiator. $4,142.26

Current mileage- 69,324 miles. The 318 Poly engine has 10,538 miles since rebuild. The clutch assembly and radiator were done at the same time. Leaf springs have been replaced. A rebuilt Dana 60 with 4.10:1 Sure Grip and eight lugs replaced the original rear axle. An updated Dana 44 with 4.09:1 gears and eight lugs replaced the original front axle.

The down sides to restoration/repair are rusted cab floor, an undiagnosed steering issue, which I believe at this time is the steering sector. The wiring will need to be completed for all taillights, brake lights, turn signals, horn, etc., to be functional. A replacement fuel tank is needed.

Did I mention the cab floor is rusty and needs replacement? The cab floor is rusty and needs replacement.
