oleman 703 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Those early 50's Dodges powered by a big cube FH were strong and reliable medium duties. Looks like a good find to me. If it is a butchered up contraption I would pass, unless you are looking for a project. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
