Re: The Riddler - 1958 Dodge Sweptline Kustom Pickup
Another unique custom feature,
Paul told me this has Jaguar independent rear axels and suspension.
That was a popular mod back in the 1970s I believe?

Neat truck. I never seen one of those before, and would have also thought those fins/whatever on the truck bed were add-ons!
The Jag rear suspension was still popular in the 90's, and last I checked in the early 2000s, they were still pretty popular with the Rodders.
My brother was going to install one in his chopped top, 1957 Chevy Pickup. He got married and sold off that project, unfortunately.

Definitely different...
I was told this was Dodge's answer to the Chevy Cameo?

When I get a chance, I'll light her up with a SCANGRIP light and take a picture.

Getting married and especially having children has a tendency to change a person's priorities, free time and spare money for projects.

Very cool truck indeed Mike! It will be interesting to see how you get around that pin-striping on the hood... Shame the stripes weren't painted and then had the clear sprayed over them. Certainly would have made your job easier
Love the fins and the front end is definitely "dodge" of that era. Looks like the roof was chopped just a tad as well.

MOPAR baby!!
Nice truck, Mike.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Huh. I could see that being the case.

OHHHHHHH Don't I know that! I'm approaching my second year of marriage next month. And yes, it has changed my perspective on things, as well as priorities. It's one reason I haven't been taking on any jobs this past year. And projects? Yup. I'm putting up my 1991 Honda CRX for sale. Along many other spare Honda parts I've been accumulating for the passed 10 years. Some people are going to get some nice deals. I still have my '96 Jeep XJ and my little race car ('91 Civic hatchback) to keep me busy for some time.

These were Dodge's response to the Chevy Cameo. They used the quarter panels from 2 door station wagons to be the fins. They were basically welded over the existing stepside-type bed. This setup lasted through 1959 when it was replaced by a conventional smooth-side bed.
