Those headlights give me Packard vibes

Hope your recovery is still progressing positively Steve!! Can't wait for your return to action!! You can rewatch every episode and still learn from them!! Steve has knowledge beyond most human capabilities!

Seeing quite a few of these "Truck Week" videos for the 2nd time but I don't mind. Like a classic song or movie, they're always good no matter how many times they come around.

I don’t know about you guys but this guy is fantastic and he really is missed. Get well soon and back to it. Just being selfish. The info on this classic stuff is amazing.

Another repeat, but still a good one. As stated last time: In 1957, a card was put into the glove box with the VIN and the other options the truck had. Otherwise, the only other way is to find the VIN on the frame. 1958 brought a data plate similar to what we'd see on later years. No VIN, can't win, but easy to figure out, no doubt: K for 1957 model year, 6 for flathead six-cylinder engine, D for two-wheel drive, 100 for 1/2 ton rated and the rest is the production sequence. They were assembled either at Warren Truck in Detroit, MI which still operates today under Stellantis or at the Los Angeles, CA assembly plant. This was known as the Maywood plant and closed in 1971. No tag, can't brag, but possible code "B" Ice Blue and "C" Glacier White two-tone exterior paint. In 1957, a card was put into the glove box with the VIN and the other options the truck had.

Get well soon. Working the algorithm Steve 👍

What a great looking truck! Seems like 1970, 1957, 1940 & 1932 are styling sweet spots with all makes.

The 1st new car my Grandfather ever bought was a '57 Chrysler Windsor. I have a B&W picture of it. It looks very similar to the model in this video.

The drive shaft is done Steve. Definitely!😊

My MoPar loving father came home with a 57 Dodge 1/2 ton. I didn't think much of it at first, this was the late 70's. I liked 72 up trucks. Plenty of varieties to choose from in this generation. But, my veiw of this 57 started to change as soon as I heard him start it. Wasn't a flathead 6 for sure. Then he took me for a ride after bolting on a set of L-60 -15 tires on the front, and N-50-15 tires on the rear. On chrome reverse wheels, sure did a lot for the looks. The Old Man had this truck's number. One hell of a memorable ride. He was an excellent driver. I was thoroughly impressed. Then we came home and he popped the one piece hood. And there was a 440 Six Pack jammed in there! He would put together some interesting rides!

For a no. Of years my father owned a '57 D 500. In '83 the oil lline let go. It was no longer commercially viable to replace the engine so the body was pulled and placed on a new F-350 chassis. The truck only worked in the warmer months , never saw a grain of salt. W/ the 6cyl and For speed (granny 1st) it would do 45mph, which hastened its demise.

Just a new chassis and a hemi crate engine and transmission and a few other parts, nice patina hot rod pick’em up! Keep on recovering Steve!

I have a rust free '58 D100 short bed stepside that had the 230 flathead/3 on tree. Daily drove it for a couple years. Currently in process of becoming a gasser style project but lately I have a rust free '48 1.5 ton Dodge with the 230 (236?) and unsynchronized 4 on the floor. I rebuilt flatbed and side boards, PTO and dump cylinder worked, got it road worthy, installed a 12v wiring harness, etc and used it to gravel my place this summer. 4.5 yards at 2300# a yard (yes, real numbers) was a "little" too much for the truck but that flathead moved it with no real problem. Three 70 mile round trips, 35 miles one way through some hills. The truck's fine but the max capacity seems to be around the 6000# range and still be comfortable lol. Brakes, even good working condition are a request than a command at that weight. As far as efficiency goes the little flatty would use 4.2 gallons avg on a trip. Pretty good considering your foot never really left the floor.

Looks like it was a pretty sharp truck when it was new!

Get well soon Steve!!!!!

GOD BLESS YOU N EVERYONE.

Very cool. Welcome back! Healing vibes sent! Flookerang was the name of the Forward Look logo on the horn and fenders. The 3 speed push button automatic transmissions in Dodge trucks was called LoadFlite, which was basically a beefed up TorqueFlite. `61 introduced the 170/6 & 225/6 into Dodge trucks, both of which had first appeared in passenger cars in `60. The `60 Valiant had the 170/6 standard, with the 225/6 becoming optional mid year `61. The full size cars had the 225/6 standard.

Thank you Steve

That'd make a decent looking hot rod pick up truck, we had Fargo/Dodges in Australia but have never seen that grille/front style here.

Good job Steve hope you're feeling better

Mr B?! Whete are thee?!? Lol

Later Dodge trucks were called power giants.

Steve is awesome. I have a 57 town wagon so hard to find parts.

A lot of the farmers wanted the wood floors opposed to metal so their livestock wouldn't slip and slide around.

Weren't there still lifters, of some kind? Probly not hydraulic, maybe to hold some kind of shims, but something to facilitate lash adjustments.

@throckmorton8477

5 ай бұрын

The lifters or tappets were solid. An adjusting screw threaded into the top of the tappet. There was also a jam nut that would be tightened against the tappet body to lock in the adjustment. It usually took three wrenches to adjust the valve clearance. One to hold the tappet body, one to adjust the valve clearance, and one to tighten the jam/locknut. Easy Peasy !

Dodge never built a stepside truck. It is a Utiline.

Hi Steve, I hope you're doing better and better and very soon you'll be like new again. But, I was just wondering; realizing you did these vids much earlier, I have to wonder why, a guy with your affluence, you didn't/ don't visit salvage yards that have better specimens of the subject of your presentation. I am a Mopar guy for sure, so please don't take this the wrong way, as "Any Mopar is better than", well let's put it this way, long befor (Earth) Worm-man said it we said it in Rochester, Michigan. He was probly 8 or 9: "NoCar", as in "Mopar or Nocar." I just have to wonder why you don't head out to Utah or Arizona, somewhere where salvage yards have cars that aren't just rust heaps to search out your subjects. They might even have a little paint on them too. I'm just saying the stuff you show is so shot to pieces, it reminds me of a yard I used to visit where I could go inside and spend all day pulling a car apart and pay the guy $5 for a radio or $15 for a whole truck load of rotten, rusted all but useless, not even worth scrap value cast iron. I brought home a 315 cid HEMI from there for $10. I was driving a 64 Valient w/ a transplanted 318 Poly Hemi with duel exh and a 4.56 gear, that could beat a 340 Cuda's, Darts & Dusters if they hadn't tuned them well. So I just didn't think going backwards a couple cubes would pay off for me, so I put it back. OK, Fine Business Steve, thank you for going out and doing these vids and saving them for these rainy days. ben/ michigan my yahoo mail is MOPARBENS, so is my company.

I don't remember the exact video, but I recall Steve saying that as the channel grew, he wanted to take a road trip out west ( Idaho ?) for some higher quality junkyard finds. But for those of us in the rust belt, it would make us sick to see what people junked back then! 😉

Steve lives in Massachusetts. He can be home nights and commute to the junkyard daily. If he went out West, he would have to stay out there for days.
