Description The 49 Dodge Pickup is one of the most beautiful trucks to come out of Detroit. They did still make them in Detroit back in the day didnt they? And this particular 49 Dodge Pickup is the nicest example of one of these rides Ive seen in a long time. And I even like the color! Bewdy!! ~:0)This Dodge is a complete frame-off restoration that gives us a good idea of its retro or vintage appearance. And yet its got those wry hot rod touches that make an old truck worth having. Things like nice updated wheels dont just make this 49 Dodge Pickup truck look better, No! Makes it ride better too with wider rubber on the road along with those nice flexi-sided tires that make average road feel like the autobahn - Ha!U know I know Im digressing here, but I simply have to just say a word of two about the Autobahn. Most of us familiar with that fabled stretch of German hi-way remember the dream. That road has long held the promise of driving a smooth stretch of black-top without speed limit. Thats right! U can get on that bit-o-macadam and discover the top-speed of ur fave ride. Will it do 150 mph? Will it top 200? (Oh sorry for U metrix users to find kilomomicrometers-per-hour u would simply multiply by Tuesday) Okay back to the land of dreams! Problem with the Autobahn is that it is like any other toll-way, hi-way, motor-way, inter-state. It is crowded with traffic! Thats not to say U cant find a moment when the left lane is clear and u can open her up. But b/4 u know it some massive lorry eighteen-wheeler road-train will pull out in front of ur rocketing rod. Why would he do that you ask? Ha! Well b/c he can ya massive twit! B/c he can and must! Sure hes got to pass another great articulated massive truck going 45 mph. Naturally the passing Loadstar will be doing something just under 47 mph to accomplish the pass. And believe me he sees U barreling toward him. Whats the fun of passing when fiery death isnt in the equati
