Help me identify my chassis

[TTman23]

Hello everyone,

I purchased a 1947 Dodge pickup off auction a year ago. It was billed as "on a Dakota Chassis", but never stated the year or gen chassis.

Are there any dead give-aways on what gen chassis I have? Any stamps anywhere or things like that?

I am wanted to finally get started on this project and have the 5.7l HEMI out of my wife's Challenger that I want to swap into it, but don't know waht conversion kit to go for until I know what gen I have.

Thanks in advance-
Christian

What engine does it have? A forum like Moparts with truck content would probably be more helpful to pinpoint everything about it. Pics would help too.

Not sure of the engine either. Truck is a Frankenstein hack job currently. Here's some pictures if it helps.
