A labor of love... I remember riding in this as a small child. My dad was involved in cub scouts and boy scouts with me and my brothers. He would take us camping in it. When we were older we went deer hunting in it. Has lots of memories.

Hi, I'm the fellow,owner of the 1937 Humpback ,that Jeff Tyler told you about.I also have a 1933 Humpback,1935 early cab pickup and a 1937 canopy express screenside.How is the grill on your truck?That is the toughest grill to restore or acquire.
I have what is supposed to be an aftermarket grill that I bought on ebay a couple of years ago. I havn't really looked at it that close as it is still in the box it came in. I only took it out to look at it when it came, and then put it back.

The information on your blog site which follows is incorrect:
Engine shown is the stock straight 6 from a 1937 Dodge Pickup Truck - this more common Dodge "Short Engine" is noted by the 23" long head. However, many Humpbacks ran the Chrysler "Long Engine" or "Canadian Engine" - noted by the 25-1/2" long head & the bigger 3-3/8" bore.) . . . *Engine parts & headers generally are not interchangeable between the 23" and 25-1/2" engines. The ductile iron headers shown fit the 23" Dodge engine; the 25-1/2" Chrysler engine can run custom stainless steel headers made from a modified stock 1970's Corvette thick-walled heade
The engine in both photos is of my 25" long 265 CI Chrysler block that was put into my 1937 Dodge pickup. It replaces the stock 25" 218 block. The 1937 and 1938 Dodge pickups came with 25" blocks. My two photos are not copyrighted and my be downloaded or reproduced for non profit purposes.
