I was in Charlotte, Iowa (tiny town) and saw this '36 Dodge truck at the car show. It was powered by a 3.9 V6 and 5 speed. Here is some pictures of it and a few other pictures....
I thought this truck was neat......

Dakota chassis maybe?
It was raining off and on, so I just gave it a quick glance, but I thought it was the 36 Dodge frame.
Pretty cool to have something different regardless!

Has anyone ever tried to make power with the 3.9's

take a look at that second picture
they painted the engine wit the manifolds, carburetor and upper radiator hose installed, and none of it taped off
seems pretty careless to me

No. Picture does not show the craftsmanship I guess! Truck was Sic!! Not sure how you clean a FB paint job but in person it was very well done.
And this makes it a death trap?

My pic was not so good. This was in a building and was taken quickly between the milling crowd! It is black,black,black! Very nice, neat work hard to show in quick pics. Just thought it was nice to see Mopar inards in the a classic other brand! Normally builders opt for bowties!

the paint, no
but it makes me wonder...if they couldn't be bothered to tape of the radiator hose before painting...what other corners did they cut?

You are seeing something that is not there. Brackets, paint and all were spectactular!

wouldn't be the first time I was wrong, maybe I am reading too much into it
since you had eyes on it, what is the deal with that vent line or whatever it is that ends just above and to the right of the oil filler cap?
What is it with you? Is it dickhead night for you? I mean really. A member goes out of his way to take pictures and is kind enough to post them and all you can do is be a total asshole?
What the **** difference does it make? It's a cool truck. A member was nice enough to take pictures and share them with us. Cram you usual bullshit up your ***.

You guys are talking about two different trucks. DIY is talking about the first pictured truck in this thread and, yes, he is correct that nothing was taped off when they painted the engine. Very poor job on their part.
Damn, seems more like you're the one with the bad attitude, not DIY.

good stuff - the fire truck golf cart is hilarious!
Forged internals and a turbo should do it. Pistons and rods are the same as the 318s I believe.
The rest of the truck was very nice. I guess perhaps he wasn't concerned with overspray on a few things. Maybe, just maybe he has special headers ordered, and new braided hoses, different carb and wasn't concerned about the overspray on those parts. I didn't talk with him, but i'm glad he had it there because I personally liked what he did, with the 3.9 and all.
