- Everybody needs a good dump runner, right? Personally I choose to stack them up like cord wood, but that’s beside the point. This half ton, extended cab, 318 four speed powered, part time 4x4 veehicle is pretty awesome at all sorts of things - and I have some things in mind.

Do more content on this truck! I have one just like it! Struggling with charging issues. Your channel rocks dude.
Oh… I will! And thanks for watching. Have you seen my charging system video? If you have any questions feel free to ask (but in a separate comment - I never see responses)
Changed the two pronged plug for the voltage regulator........so far so good
I'm never bored or disappointed in your videos Dude.
I want to thank you very much for your channel and sharing your knowledge and experience with these old Mopars. You've given me alot of help already. Lord-willing, in a couple of weeks, a "4 color" '83 D150 w/ slant 6, 4 speed o/d will become my daily driver. You're helping me make that a reality. I don't have to drive as much these days, BUT, I'm depending on this truck.
Jamie...don't ever change🙂👍
Awesome! I’m happy to help. Let me know if you need advice or have questions about your multicolor pride and joy. Thanks for watching!
Cool rig. Really like the color combo and the engine look/go fast goodies.
Great video! Awesome old truck! 👍
Man, you crack me the hell up. I love these videos. Keep em coming!
Not the 1st time the term 'Adventurer' as Desoto carried that name on their performance model. The 1957 with the 345 2 4v hemi producing 345 hp is particularly desirable.
This one is a beauty! Any other videos on this one in the works? A Holley carb swap? I’ve been restoring a ‘79 power wagon (full time 4x4) since April. Almost road ready but not a show piece, just the right amount of rust removed
Nice! I had a ‘78 W200 single cab big block truck which I loved. Actually I’m a pretty firm believe in Carter/Edelbrock carbs for daily drivers. I do have some ideas for the truck. Probably won’t get to do much with it in the near future but hope to at some point.
Another super addition to the fleet.
Dude that thing is awesome I have a 1975 w100 power wagon and I love it
Looks like a keeper. I've been taking your advice and knowledge from these videos and I'm almost ready to start my 72 d100 custom stepside for the first time! I'll try to record it and send you a video if I can. :)
Awesome! Can’t wait to see it. You can always post it and tag me in the description!
@@DeadDodgeGarage I sent you an email with some pic of the build "so far". Hope you like them! :)
I’m a fan just picked up a 76 club cab. 4spd
That thing is sweet! And all the no rust!
I know! It’s frankly shocking compared to what I usually end up with.
A long time ago, I got a '73 Power Wagon from a junk yard. Had no reverse. Cost $100 bucks. Had it 7 years. Fixed the trans. Worked it for years. The Carter 2bbl is the WORST carburetor ever made. Went thru 5. That 4wd , with bald tires went through 4' of snow like it was rain! My kids loved it! 318, 727, 205 and 3:90's !!!
Nooo! I love those BBDs. They leak fuel from worn throttle shaft bushings and occasionally have needle and seat issues, but I’ve had great luck with them overall. The worst carburetor ever made distinction belongs squarely to the Holley 1920 single barrel…
@@DeadDodgeGarage never had one of those. So I must stand on the Carter 2bbl. Had 'em new, used and rebuilt. They never lasted long. Different issues but always let me down. But what a combination of a drivetrain!
Sweet truck. I got a 78 Club W150 I converted to 3/4 ton, 4 speed, 205 tcase from a 74 donor. Did a front disc brake conversion with GM parts. Yours must be an early 74 with it having the part time 4x4. About mid 74 they went to the full time 4x4 with small bolt pattern wheels.
Ok that’s making some sense. I thought my ‘75 single cab short bed W100 had 5x4.5 wheels like my ‘79 D100 and I was surprised to see the larger pattern on this one. The little decal that says to unlock the hubs at highway speeds shows a Warn style hub, so I’m assuming these funky units are aftermarket.
I’m really liking the ride of the 100. I think the extra wheelbase and weight must help because my ‘75 didn’t ride like this one. My dream is a club cab long 3/4 ton with a Cummins and a stick… I think I’ll leave this one as it is and keep looking. Friend actually had a disk brake axle for it, and I decided against keeping it because it looked heavy. Perhaps I should reconsider.
The old dodge life everything works when it wants too.
The engine in this truck blew up a few months after I made this video… it was unfortunate, it’s a pretty good truck sometimes. Haha. Anyway I’m working on that.
My favorite body style 😍
Is it cool to hope that you'll do more vidjas with this beauty?
Totally! I have some ideas…
What a fine unit my friend! I've got a 73 if you need some odds and ends!
Oh! Good to know! I would like to find an actual club cab seat… that might be a tall order.
@@DeadDodgeGarage ooo yeah that might he tough. This one just has a bench, but I will keep my eyes peeled! I know a spot in Oregon that juuuust might have what you need 👀
I owned when I was in highschool a 74 two tone mint green with green door and the green door panels and the bottom of the dash and the floor pan tio of the dash and the seats were black it was a 74 dodge d100 club cab long bed wooden flatbed red with yellow pinstripe frame flatbed... Powered by a 66 Chrysler 318 poly single barrel Holley carburetor on fabbed up engine mount sets, 727 transmission and the Dana 44 rear with the 3.54 rear gear it had a j.c. hot rod kit exhaust system 2 inch exhaust down pipes coming out of the cobbled together 3 inch downtube exhaust pipes running under the front floors of the cab,short barely 8 inch long red hots flow tech glass pack mufflers and two inches of elbow and 45 degrees tails right out under the middle of the cab under the door just in front of where the door handles are I referred to them as drag pipes truck had a good amount fm Chrysler stereo radio that worked good and new sparkomatic speakers don't know why you couldn't hear anything over idle but the truck lol!!!
Original seats and door panels were supposed to be black as witnessed by the rear cab panels and the black jump seats, and the truck I have actually wanted to find is a 75 dodge d200 or maybe a w series but it doesn't have to be, club cab long bed 3/4 ton in decent shape, small block Chrysler 318 and the automatic transmission or 4spd standard shift transmission im not really concerned about...
Sounds like someone pieced together a monster. Haha. My truck is alllmost like that. But W100. Once I’m done installing the rebuilt 318 it’ll be ready to go to a new home.
Man hope this blue truck lives again! I hope to find my next truck soon but not alot around me atm.
Dave actually bought it back, and we are putting a rebuilt 383 in it soon.
Awesome! Future vid?
I have my current truck its not a club cab but it is a quad cab but with the half rear second gen Dodge Ram doors,2000 Dodge Ram gloss black with most of a white pinstripe 5.2 318 Magnum V8 46 RE AT Laramie SLT 1500 quad cab long bed 4x4!! It is a decent condition interior has the premium infinity by chrysler 6 speaker and tweeters amplifier filters sound system with the premium infinity by chrysler am fm cd player cassette tape player stereo and it works..
My two tone mint green d100 74 dodge club cab long bed had the exact same front seat it was even green lol
NP4350/11"Magnum flywheel/Magnum 5.9. Swap?
Don’t go putting ideas in my head…
Yeah that would be awesome. The 318 is really good so I don’t have any immediate reason to replace it. The 5.9 that I put in my charger might just need a home at some point in the near future… 😍
@@DeadDodgeGarage Hahaha!- I have a '77 2wd Club Cab long bed Adventurer.
Wife jokes all old Dodge trucks come with manditory crunched/poorly fixed passenger fenders...
nice
What transmission do you have in it?
NP435 four speed with granny low.
I spy new shocks @ 2:05 mark 😎
Oh yeah. He goes hard with replacing stuff and making things nice. Pretty much outdid himself with the new brakes and KYBs.
Is that the truck you’ve been trying to find all these years?
Really close! But I dream of a three quarter ton Cummins truck. Otherwise, this is exactly it, and honestly, I almost like this more. It rides great being a half ton. Fuel mileage is going to suck, but since it costs significantly less than a Cummins, I think I can afford some fuel.
@@DeadDodgeGaragecummins are over rated and every person who has no business owning one, ownes one
@@MidnightPolaris800 I’m going to have to disagree with you there, because there is no way the Cummins 5.9 is overrated. It has earned the reputation that it has.
YES YES YES TIN GRILLE POWER WAGON YEEEEEESSSS!!! Mine's a feb. 79 W200 360 2bbl NP435 w/ full time 4wd reg cab 8ft bed, in ugly green. Mine's obviously better so read it and weep. JK excellent video.
Haha. No that’s sounding pretty good. I love the 74 grille and the lack of cats though.
@@DeadDodgeGarage Cats? don't tell anyone, but they might have mysteriously "fallen off" and a glaspack somehow got welded on. Go figure lol
This and that garage Chad has a 73-74 d300 club cab long bed 1 ton dually flatbed he keeps having issues with..it's red
Yeah I bought those jump seats obviously in the '70s didn't care about safety if they did they would have bought a crew cab Dodge Crew cab they made the club cab in 73 and a crew cab in 62
They did also make crew cabs in the 70s. They certainly weren’t common though. They were usually for actual crews. Haha.
Im definitely not a fan of Edelbrock carburetors either.
I am. They’re awesome.
Way too silly . And not as funny a he thinks he is .
Cool, I’ll let the 23,000+ people who have subscribed and all of the people who have told me I’m hilarious know. (I’m not so sure either, but that’s not the point.)
