Announcing Project D-100, Cherry Bomb's 1964 Dodge Truck Hot Rod

Loudon, TN (March 5, 2009)… Cherry Bomb, the leader in high quality aftermarket performance exhaust, is pleased to announce Project D-100, a 1964 Dodge D-100 Short Bed Stepside truck. This vintage beauty was spotted in a barn in Georgia and purchased for only $300. After clearing out the pine needles and dirt dauber nests from the original wood bed, Cherry Bomb began the task of turning the truck into the ultimate hot rod.

The first order of business was to drop in a Mopar 526 crate motor Hemi with aluminum heads, dual carburetors and long tube headers. Then came 4 in 1 dragster style Zoomies, Wilwood Brakes, and a Viper T-60 60 6 speed transmission. The drive train was installed by Matt Delaney of Delaney Automotive. The truck sports a vintage Cherry Bomb patina style logo by Brian Papa Studios that embellishes one of the most iconic and nostalgic brands ever to influence the heyday of the muscle car. The addition of Cherry Bomb Glasspacks complete both the look and sound of this totally “pushed to the limit” project truck.

Stacey David, of Stacey David’s GearZ™ got in on the action and added a ladder bar style rear suspension that was needed for increased traction due to the huge horsepower increase of the Hemi engine and a Lokar shifter and gas pedal. Stacey also chose vintage Radir drag slicks on wide whites for the rear and Coker Tires for the front.

Cherry Bomb began manufacturing the Cherry Bomb Glasspack in 1968. With less backpressure, the muffler increased horsepower and produced an unmistakable sound that embodied the power under the hood. Forty years later, Cherry Bomb manufactures a full line of high performance mufflers, in addition to a large number of cat back systems, accessories, and custom kits, all of which create fuel savings due to improved engine efficiency. Cherry Bomb is located at 2400 Maremont Blvd., Loudon, TN. For product information visit www.cherrybomb.com.
