Default The Dodge.....

Bought this a few years ago and generally use it on the property to cart wood and other stuff.

Came with some spare glass, door and an old (presumably buggered) spare engine and other bits and pieces.

I have improved the ignition system on it and put a Weber on it, it now starts and runs great. The brake master cylinder was not good so I had it stainless steel sleeved etc.

Is four speed. Have taken it up to 60mph which was quite frightening, lol.

I don't know much about it, the word around here (where it has spent most of its life carting wood) is that it has an engine in it from an amphibious vehicle put in it some time ago. I wouldn't have a clue, can't find an engine number, doesn't even appear to have an oil filter... Some pics. It is an Australian built 1959 Dodge with flathead six.
