I guess no one likes the Dodge!!! I finally got the parts to get Colonel running right. I ordered a fuel pressure regulator and got it installed. Started it yesterday before work and started to time it. Hopefully I'll get the radiator fixed to keep it from leaking. More to come

Re: Project "Colonel"
 

Glad to hear that it's coming together!

Re: Project "Colonel"
 

Good looking dodge, just now seeing it! I say change the wheels though.

Re: Project "Colonel"
 

I'm kinda fond of the wheels myself

Re: Project "Colonel"
 

I got a few goodies for Colonel and a finished engine pic with the old v belt system!! Sorry for the side ways pic

Re: Project "Colonel"
 

Well I finally got back to work on Colonel. Here are pics of the serpentine belt change, and me starting on dash/gauge install. I will also add the electric fan in the next few weeks.

more pics.

Re: Project "Colonel"
 

Well I finally got the gauges installed. My dash bezel was cut for the bigger Sunpro gauges, so I used some 22ga metal to make cover plates and mount the 2'' Equus gauges. Picked up a Reman booster and master cylinder, and finally got it running really good and put the front end on it.

Looks like a nice build, subscribed to this one. I wish I could have put a badass motor like yours in mine.

Re: Project "Colonel"
 

Thanks! I wouldn't call it badass. its a mild build.

Rewired all the front and side lights, no picture. I also got all my switches installed in the panel and wired up.

Well I got the old rusted bed off. I will take a few pics of the other bed in the next few days. I am going to paint the frame and the body panels that are hard to get to while the bed is off.

Re: Project "Colonel"
 

The truck a buddy and I bought for parts.

Re: Project "Colonel"
 

Nice Trucks! i had a question for you , how much did your stroker motor cost?

Re: Project "Colonel"
 

Sorry just seeing this. Don't recall the exact # but for a ball park figure I would say around $3000 or so. I had to find all parts for the build. If u want I could figure it up for the exact amount.
