Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

[Zhyachts]

Just bought a 1953 Dodge and I'm planning to restore it. The seller swears its original. However, the lack of emblems and strange grill and tail light treatment tells me different. Have any of you guys seen a truck like this before?





Any suggested sources for emblems, the truck has Truck-O-Matic, grill parts with parking lights and a passenger side wing vent with glass and frame?

Thanks, great forum!

Hi Bill (Zhyachts), welcome the forum - are you importing the Dodge to China or was it already there when you found it? I'm guessing there can't be many old Dodges over there??!??
