My 1947 Dodge 2 Ton wood hauler

[andydodgegeek]

Not only do I enjoy chainsaws, guns, and old tractors, I also like old dodge trucks. Here are some pictures of the 1947 WH47 2 ton Dodge I bought this summer. Has a 251ci flat head 6cyl, 5spd non-syncro transmission, and the rear end has hi and low range. Not much rust, runs good needed tires so I had my rims sand blasted and powder coated and then got some new rubber. It is alot of fun to drive, lots of people lookin.View attachment 204042View attachment 204043View attachment 204044

I cant figure out how to make it so you can see the pictures on the thread without clicking on them. What am I doing wrong?

My father hauled my 2 sisters and I home a swingset on a 1941 1 1/2 ton 4 speed with a Plymouth Spitfire in it long ago. Still here. Swingset is now a grape arbor.

Had a 49 one ton, set the throttle and lean against the grille to get it out of the shed in the winter. Grab the front bumper and let it chew a divit before it hit something.

Look him up, he got me thru my OLD Dodge phase. Had a lot of NOS stuff. Pulled the plug on the whole idea and hauled the 49 up to Iola faster on a trailer with a old 7.3 COOP truck faster than the damn thing would have gotten there on it's own.

Unless your cheating, drop the biggest 6v in that will fit in that hole.

And of course you have a 15/64" wrench to change points.

It quits raining when you're going uphill.

The coil is on the firewall 8 1/2 miles away from the cap.

The parking brake let's you think you need to pile it separate so it can dry.

 

[Marco]

You would think because it has a piece of 5/8"s rebar to kick the starter in it would be less trouble than something that has to go thru HAL. Not so much.

You rebuilt the carb and you still have to pull the choke out halfway to make it over a hill.

If you have anything near brakes by the 3rd pump your golden.
