Dodge concept retro truck
Dodge had a concept truck at Sema called the lowliner. Used a 68 D-200 with a boxed frame, air ride, 5.9 Cummins with manual 6sp transmission and leather interior.

- That's the one. I always wanted to do that with a 50's style truck with modern drive train and pull a old Silver Streak with modern interior remodel. One drawback is it would take two 50's style trucks to build a crew cab.
- Old looking TV and TT would be so cool.
- The tilting hood on that concept negates the really cool hood function those trucks had. They would open like a normal hood, but, if you pushed harder once it hit the "stop", it would release and open further ending up at a 90 degree vertical position. You could pull an engine without removing the hood!
- That is one nice looking truck

Brother drives a '48 Chevy carryall, (Before they adopted the name "Suburban", everyday the weather is nice. Going camping he uses it to tow his 1940 Vaughn travel trailer. Yes, it's cool.- Being contrarian, I’m not a fan at all of lowered trucks, particularly a diesel. Now if they stuffed the engine out of a hellcat in it...

It has adjustable height airbag suspension. I don't care for lowered vehicles as well. If it could be lowered to have access to the bed then raised to a normal height I could see the advantages.

Simply stunning!
When/if I resto mod a 2 wheeler, it's getting slammed and the big plain steelie wheels. - One year they did a retro powerwagon on steroids and Testosterone supplements. I was so jacked up hoping that they would actually produce it for sale. This truck doesn't lift my skirt at all.
