Dodge Bros Pickup in this VivaChas Poster what a spic and span Hot Rod ~:0) VivaChas Hot Rod Art!

And So it Begins with this Dodge Bros Pickup Truck

We had a power outage at the old clubhouse this morning and my Mac, MacPro, AppleTV, DVD, iPad and my new surround sound music system were all shut down. Then, I discovered that my iPhone battery was dead and to top it off, it was cold and rainy outside, so I couldn’t work on the Rat Rod Dodge Bros Pickup (not the one in today’s VivaChas print). Stumbled into the kitchen to make us some Joe and then I remembered that the Kronighoffer (whatever it is) also needs power! Thank goodness for the hot wood stove in the game room a kettle and the Italian Press!! – – – The smell of the hot java raised Ol’ JuJu from her slumbers and she drifted in on the delicious vapors. Long/Short we huddled round the stove and talked for a few hours – played some pool. – – – She seems like a nice person. – Ha! ~:0) VivaChas Hot Rod Art!

Hot Rod Magazine Knows Rides

Bob Peterson – late publisher of Hot Rod Magazine had this to say back in ’82. – “The problem with the car companies is that they build dull and unimaginative cars.” I know I can guarantee that he was not talking about rods like this bewdy of a 35 Dodge Bros Pickup in our VivaChas Poster. What a spic & span Hot Rod it is. This is the sort of truck other trucks aspire to be. When I first saw this pickup at the Luckenbach Car Show I stood transfixed. I remember digging for every possible question I could think of to ask the builder/owner about his pickup. Ol’ VivaChas wanted to be close to this little bewdy – if U know what I mean – and I think U do! ~:0)

“Time Warp” 1921 Dodge Brothers Half-Ton Pickup

Founded in 1900 by Horace and John Dodge, the Dodge Brothers Company of Detroit produced chassis and engine components for the quickly growing number of automobile manufacturers in the city. They graduated to full automobile manufacture in 1914. Dodge started building trucks at the request of the U.S. Military in World War I, and production of civilian commercial vehicles started in 1918. The Dodge Brothers half-ton pickup was powered by a 212-cubic inch, four-cylinder engine that was coupled with a 114-inch wheelbase chassis, and it stayed in production until 1928.

Dodge Bros Pickup Shames Today’s Production Cars for Looks – Most of the Time ~:0)

This bewdy of a Dodge Bros Pickup is a hot rod that puts most production cars and trucks to shame. Now tell me how is it possible that it would cost the auto-manufacturers any more to build something similar to this hot rod than their lines of mundane government mandated clone-cars. Safety – I hear some nanny-stater whine. Well whine on brother b/c this Dodge is lighter than most econo-boxes – safer too! Or at least with just a smidge of tinkering it could be. But there we go again acting as though it’s “Big-Brother’s” place to tell us how cars are to be styled and constructed. Has anyone else noticed that government-involvement spells the ruination for anything to which they’re connected? – Ha! I give U the Post Office! – Though I must say our local postie is a real peach! – And she takes great care of us. ~:0)

1935 Dodge Bros Pickup

Even the stock Dodge Bros Pickup in this video shows its great lines w/o restoration or customizing. U should note that these old trucks do not run and ride like modern cars. The trucks are small inside. They are loud. They are bumpy. But they are more fun than a bag full of monkeys with hammers! Watch this great vide. Source: james drackert



Dodge Bros Pickup Hot Rod Truck!

Anyway enough about that bag-o-beans. What I really want to talk about is the remarkable detail and outstanding beauty of this Dodge Bros Pickup Hot Rod Truck! Dodge Brothers back in the thirties built cars and trucks that looked like something special. They like most of the marks back then had real pride in what they were doing. As does the team of two brothers – or two friends I don’t remember which – that built this hot rod. They took the great foundation laid by the Dodge Boys and finessed it into something even more refined and certainly more sporty. This hot rod in person – so to speak – is even nicer than any photo can reveal. The detail and craftsmanship is second to none. Kudos to the building team.

Now have a Look at a 1933 Dodge Bros Pickup Custom

What could be prettier? Cept of course for the rod in the VivaChas Dodge Bros Pickup Poster. Both of the hot rodded trucks sport stout V-8 mills. They run a good deal perkier than the stock pickup in the preceding video. Though either one makes a great ride depending on what Ur looking for ~:0) “This 33 is powered by a Chevrolet 327 ci V8 and a Turbo 350 automatic transmission. The engine has an Edelbrock intake manifold and carburetor, Accel ignition parts, headers to dual exhaust, disc brakes, and power steering! It has an exceptional custom oak bed floor with stainless strips, Eagle Alloys, and factory suicide doors! The interior has a comfortable set of bucket seats, Dolphin gauges, tilt steering column, a Lokar floor shifter, CD player, power windows, and tinted glass! Body modifications include a chopped top, shaved door handles, and a custom rear roll pan with Frenched tail lights! A great looking and driving ’33 Dodge!” Source: Barn Fine Classics
