Well my brother hauled this project home a couple of weeks ago. It's a 1956 Dodge 2 1/2 ton. 21000 lb gvwr. Big truck.
Factory 331 Hemi, 5 speed + Split rear axle.
187 hp @ 4000/ 309 ft-lbs @2400.
VERY solid for a Canadian truck of this age (I'm sure the massive 2 1/2 ton frame helps!!!). We think it used to have a stake dump bed.... project plans are return to stake dump or maybe a 5th wheel lowboy car hauler???

Flatbed driver almost didn't want to put it on.

The Hemi. Nice big carb...

Instagram caption, otherwise nice picture...
Those are tractor trailer tires btw, did I mention it was big?

Not as flashy as the GM's and Ford's of the era but the best looking in my opinion.
