Only Mopar flat six owned was a 1936 Ply coupe all factory and 63,000 miles.Had big 15 rear and small 14 front so looked like a rod.Ran like a top but lived up to the old fog and rain forget it starting deal.Below 0 and dry fine.Modern transistorised drop in crues this now but had it in late 60s.
Like 33/34 Mopar better than any old stuff in looks.A full fendered 33/34 Dodge pu would be my pick.Have a 37 chevy full fendered rat since 1977 that I enjoy driving but sure wish it was a 33/34 Dodge.

I agree about the engine. The flathead in my 53 runs like a watch and sounds great with 2 inch exhaust and a Cherry Bomb. A buddy has an old Chevy truck with a 250 six and these vehicles sound great together going down the road.

Just goes to show what can be done with a lot of imagination, an ole truck and lots of hard work. I like the flat six, a lot of builders simply junk these old engines in favor of big V-8's which is fine.
