Dodge Utiline Tin Grille (Project True Spirit 1)

I didn't really need another project in the garage, but I've been searching for a Utiline (stepside) bed for years, and I found one attached to a truck with some of the coolest patina I've seen in a long time. Today we'll walk around the new acquisition and start making plans.

I'm excited to watch the progress on this and your other truck. Keep the videos coming. Great work

Super cool project. Gotta love the tin grills

[@tattoosteveneo]

Great find. These are harder to find than the red ones.

Nice that you found a bed, I would start with your original vision and go from there. Also very curious to how fixing the bed is going to go,

It's only for Chris.

I’d be interested in the glovebox door if you’re keeping your ‘74 dash

If you're on Facebook, just message me there and we can arrange the sale.

How rare is a True Spirit? Never heard of it before.

[@YoshimoshiGarage]

It was an option only 76-79 and for most of that time it was only available in California. So pretty rare

[@RichMander1]

It’s a 360. That’s the terrible 2210/2245 Holley carb.

If it's a 360 I'll be tempted to rebuild it, even though I have nothing to put it in.
