I remember one of my brothers having a white D100 back in the 80s. You always had to slam and check the passenger door to make sure it shut. One day my brother was taking dad to the local watering hole. My brother turned a corner, looked over, and dad was gone. Out the door he went! Dad was pissed, but luckily okay, other than a few scrapes and bruises lol.
Sweet.back in the day I had a 71' d100 long bed. I had straight pipe on it. Wife and daughter could here me coming off the highway a mile away. Ole blue my daughter always called er. That truck put me through hell but Man I mis that truck.
Oh man, ever since I got this thing back on the road I can't stop driving it. It's currently my favorite rig to drive. I'm glad it's got a muffler tho! Thanks for watching!
Love this thing ! Yiu should so talk Duff Dog into helping you fine tune it . Would make a good video .. who am I kidding . Fir some unknown reason I'd watch you wash a vehicle lol ! Keep the Vids coming Godspeed
my dad had one like that, six cylinder, four speed.... I never took the hood off, just lay the hood back after springs undone, easy peasy unbolt out and back in running in say three hours by self and get faster as time when by. He would wait till motor was just jerk crawling and bring it in... I kept a spare engine, just keep redoing one you pull out. Not many lines or wires so just simple fix. He somehow managed to bend pushrods in everyone of them. I called it puke blue the factory light blue. I do believe when final day came, it had like seven or more hundred thousand miles on body. It always amazed him how clean under the hood was when he got it back each time. He hauled cable and oil drums, blocks an other tackle for the logging and it always started in coldest weather an had a great heater... easy heater core and just swap when did engine swap. I didn't care for them but truthfully it rode the best over the roads it traverst.
First ran into one of these about 1963 when the owner of the ranch where I was working bought a 4x4 version with a 318ci and stick. Considering the rest of the junk we were running this was king. But the suspension was so frickn stiff that offroad it was like being in a clothes drier. I think you could buy the econo version for around $1800. Still like this version, wish I had one.
I had a '63 330. It had a 225 I'm front of a three on the tree. It was my favorite car ever. When I lost it I had replaced the k frame with a v8 style and dropped in a poly. My goal was eventually to put in the 413 Max Wedge with the cross ram dual 4 barrels.
I've always dug the looks of those 63/4 Mopar cars. Reminds me of the match class racers from back in the day and I think they all need to have a 413 or 426 engines in them! Those cross ram intakes are the COOLEST!! Thanks for watching and for the story!
They're a rarity up here as well (especially shortbed versions). I'm not a Mopar guy but I drive this one more than my Ford or Chevy's of the same vintage.
Yeah dude, this looks pretty cool! My bud had one, a 66 I think, from his dad, had a 383 and auto, easy burnouts! He sold it on Ebay and met a trucker at a parking lot to send it off overseas somewhere...
I know a guy that has one of those trucks he took the straight axle front end out took the K frame out of a 1980 Diplomat and put it in the truck made it torsion bar suspension the thing rides like a new truck anyway I'm a big fan of old Dodge trucks and the leaning tower of power my first car was a 79 Dodge Aspen with a 225 super six in it and just loved that car anyway that is a sweet truck for sure
i had a d100 years ago. guy i bought it from lost brakes and smacked a cement church sign tryin to stop. i cut and folded the rear brake line and hammered it flat against the axle. was racing a buddy of mine after that and stomped it hard enough to unfold and lose all my fluid. went cruising through a red light that day no brakes 😬. i forget the year. it had the wash board hood, 318w.
That's really got potential! Wheels look just right. That seat looks lovely and comfy. Borywork could be better, could be a helluva lot worse! It's a year older than me, after all. What's the frame like?
Yeah, it's a great daily driver for me. I wish it was a little lower but not much I can do with the stance unless I change the front suspension out and it works too good just the way it is. The frame is super solid! Thanks for watching!
EASY to put the mounts in with engine installed, just remove the two dozen or so bolts that hold the Dodge truck "dog house" to the floor. Well, I can't remember exactly, I was trying to change a clutch so that probably is not going to open op the cab enough to lift the bell housing off the mounts. I just remember thinking it was kinda weird that dodge put that in there.
@@MortskeRepair That would work with a hot 440 6-pack and T-56. Love big blocks, especially Mopar motors (that's what happens when your Dad buys ex-DND officer cars).
@@CoastalAutoReactionCAR Appears you're the Sweptline king!! It was 9 degrees Fahrenheit here this morning but mine fired right up. Unfortunately the air coming in all the holes in the cab is a bit brisk! Might have to park it for the winter here shortly...
Oh yeah, Slant six.....bullet proof.....no speed but tons of torque. Here's a bit of trivia: The S.A.E. determined that the slant six intake manifold had the most volumetric-equal distribution across all 6 cylinders compared to all other 6 cylinder engines of its time. Wish Chrysler still made them instead of switching to Mitsubishi V6.
If you haven’t lowered it already, you should check out Floyd’s Mayhem Garage on YT. He slammed his ‘68 and installed a 440. My first vehicle was a 67 with a 383 and a 727 with the dash shifter, and three gas tanks. Loved that truck.
I would trade you my ford for one of your 4+4 s Chevy out of the junkyard if you want it is a ford dully I need it gone and would like to see it now your show
One of the best six bangers ever made.

Superb Mopar engineering!! Great story David!
Wicked idea on the seat!
I just happened to have it laying around and it fits in there just sweet! Wish I had a pic of how DESTROYED the original was!
Really cool truck. Tx for the video
Glad you liked it!
It's all the body flairs that makes them unique. It's a really nice truck.

Thanks for the great story! These pickups were true work horses. Not much for creature comforts but they were made to work on. Thanks for watching!
Nice ride.
Thank you very much Talon!
Wow! One that isn't junk! Cool! 😁
Very nice, bought a '71 D100 that's been 4x4 converted, Hemi swapped w/545RFE trans, they're fun trucks!
Oh man that sounds like a real hot rod! Thanks for watching!
Really great with all your additional work
I really LIKE this truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂👍

I just love that year of dodge here in Florida is really hard to find

@@alan6832 They're not super practical but they don't depreciate in value at least.

Love the truck man!
Thanks Floyd!! It's a great daily driver!

Shoot! Would love to find a V8/auto rig!!
Pudding blue I like it, oh wait this was like two years back that's probably rotting in a field somewhere.
Stay tuned for more content on this one!
Nice truck
Sure is

I'm looking to do that exact thing with another D100! But with a V8 this time!
Excellent.. wished Dodge still made the slant 6.
I love the mileage this thing gets!! And it's peppy for a little 225 as well!
61-71 yup
1968 model! Thanks for watching!
Early editions of the Ram that are still raunchy runners!!!!!!
i had a d100 years ago. guy i bought it from lost brakes and smacked a cement church sign tryin to stop. i cut and folded the rear brake line and hammered it flat against the axle. was racing a buddy of mine after that and stomped it hard enough to unfold and lose all my fluid. went cruising through a red light that day no brakes 😬. i forget the year. it had the wash board hood, 318w.
Sounds like that D100 was trying to kill you!!
If you like these sweptlines you should check out the petty truck Dylan Mccool and his dad build on his channel. It's a nice little goin ta town rig.
Oh yeah, I've seen his stuff!

Love that truck. Would really love to put the Powerwagon driveline under it (or its twin with a modern standard transmission under it).
Nah, this one needs to get slammed to the ground and stay 2WD.
@@MortskeRepair That would work with a hot 440 6-pack and T-56. Love big blocks, especially Mopar motors (that's what happens when your Dad buys ex-DND officer cars).
