Dodge D-50

[dust collectors]

Built this little truck to pull myself out of a bit of a building slump. Pretty much box stock aside from a bit of weathering, lowered suspension, added wiring and wheel and tire swap. Thank you to the fellas that helped me source some 6 lug steelies, couldn't have made this build happen without your help. Thanks for looking.

Great looking used and abused finish.

I like the weathering, great rust techniques on the chassis.

Great job.  I sold D50's new and they were incredibly reliable little trucks.  Mitsubishi of course but they started rusting here in the Midwest as they were rolling off the truck.

Really nicely done, looks very effective.

That's so realistic, it's amazing! Makes me miss my 86 D-50. Funny that you mentioned the 6-lug wheels, because I had a miserable time trying to find a 6-lug 14" wheel back in the early 90's.

Thanks guys, this was a fun build.
