Dude that sucks, to hear about that frame. But It could be repaired! That is a sweat car! well once its cleaned up and all. I dont want to steal you thread but I have gotten a 1950 Desoto from my aunty. It has been siting for a good 45 years. And few people have taken parts off of her over the years. I realy wanted it. Everyone told me it is no worth fixing up. They tell me to get a ventage chevy or fordbecause parts are everywhere. Isaid why get a chevy or ford everyone has one, I dont follow the croud.Well just about 1 year later I have it coming along pretty good. Check it out. Trust me if you fix it up you will be proud you have a great ventage car. And best part It is NOT A DAMN CHEVY OR FORD. You should post some more pics of it!

Too bad they let that Plymouth rot, it could've been a sweet resto cruiser. But at least it's a free motor. By the way, that a/c pump...I'm pretty sure that's oil filled, right? The older pistons style pumps that were self oiled are perfect for onboard air systems, and since you have a 4x4...just something to think about if you ever get into wheeling.

 

Ya ur right it could be repaired I jacked it up today and looked at the frame it wasn't as bad as he described. But id much rather spend my money and buy a dodge coronet body a drop the 360 engine in that.

 

I like the coronetIdea better too!

 

your 318 will probably have more power than that 360, the early 70's ones are the polyspheres and thay dont flow good at all, very restricted engine.... you can read about them on allpar.com
