Whoa, you bought that for $900???? Congrats and welcome aboard! And yes, we need more pics!

Very sad news. Dr Winkler had a lot more vision than most of the other collectors out there. I salute him for giving the Sweptline community a lot of positive press and bringing back these beautiful trucks. I can't believe it has been over 20 years since I took the photos of the HPP at R&R Salvage i...

Thanks for sharing the cool story! After having it for so long and only the engine missing you should definitely keep it! And while no restoration is cheap or easy it just doesn't get much more simple than a Sweptline.

Great photos and an amazing truck. Love the shot with the 63. You have a lot of style, thanks for saving the 63 from the kid. And please keep the pics coming. What's the history on the HPP?

Hi hans. Yes. I'm 99% sure. Take a look at the brackets. They should flat along the bottom and adjustable.

Ben.

Thanks Ben, don't have the seats handy now but sounds good!!!

Yes.

Is this for sure Ben? Would help me a lot as I already have the seats with the mounting brackets....

Wow, That's pretty surreal! Did the guy tell where he got it from? Since there were quite a bit of these as fire trucks in Finland it might have originated from some old dealer stock? Can one ask what you gave for it? As a sidenote, there's a place in Sweden that has brand new Sweptline tailgates in...

The truck came from Scott Blaylock's (HellBelly) inventory (thanks again Scott, had a great time in Texas!) and I trailered it to Houston. The one pic is not from inside a container, it is inside of a reefer truck I used to drive in Finland. Working in Sweden now...

Yeah, the straight body and lack of rust through makes me want to preserve the patina....the trans in the truck had a lot of water (thus rust) in it and there aren't too many short tail cores here (Finland/Sweden). On top of that the prices for a rebuild I got quoted (unless no broken hard parts) we...

Thanks for the kind words! I do have the correct crossmembers, I am waiting to get a rebuilt transmission from the US. Here's a couple of interior shots, the beautiful (but slightly torn) Custom seats are hiding behind some cheap black vinyl covers... http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc487/Forwar...

Picked up this 1967 Dodge D200 Custom Camper Special longbed from Scott a couple of years ago. Pretty rare "luxury" crew as it is also a 318 automatic. Haven't done much else to it than cleaned the body with toilet cleaner and scotchbrite pads (it was really oxidized and had quite a bit of surface r...

Hey, I sent the link about that one on Thursday to Ben, maybe he bought it? Sorry you missed the boat...

Oh man, do you have any idea how rare those big back window 62/64:s are? I'd be happy to trade cabs lol. Too bad my truck is in CA and I'm in Europe, lol. Great buy looks like!

The black 69 belongs to my buddy Jim, we actually pulled Garlits' dragster with it in the US Nationals parade... http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc487/Forwardlook_3/USA2011stick22344.jpg http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc487/Forwardlook_3/USA2011stick22363.jpg http://i1214.photobucket.com/al...

Big block owners should get one that says "Burns gas and rubber"....

No news about the real thing??? I'm heading your way in a few weeks Scott, maybe an excursion to the Holy Grail of Dodge Trucks then???

Regarding the fiberglass parts, Dragmaster also sold T-bucket kits and the bodies were made by Fiberglass Production. It would be quite likely that the truck parts were mad by the same company? I do not know if that company still exists, perhaps with another name?

Sounds cool! Hopefully it will work out!

Just saw this thread, I've been wordering for years what ever became of those trucks, GREAT FIND!!!! Has anyone tryed to contact Jim Nelson of Dragmasters fame? He was in on the original build and last I checked he was still alive and working in his shop. I can't wait to see some pictures. Dave I d...

No news yet? Can't stand the wait...
