Picked the truck up as a winter beater project. I have big plans for it in the long run. I over used time lapse and am still learning how to edit. Bare with me.
Love the side exhaust. Wish the video was longer with more detail. Why a 250 though? Everything in the axles and brakes is more expensive than a 150. I guess if you tow alot you need one. Did you have to do a engine swap or did you just take the existing one out to do work on it?
No reason for the 250, I bought it with no engine. Put in a TBI 318 but it was pretty tired. So I freshened up a 5.9 magnum and tossed in a 46rh for overdrive. I just like to buy vehicles that have been left unfinished and put them back on the road. I have a w150 to do soon here.
Great heavy duty older trucks !!! Have an '86 360 4 speed W250 that I'll re-body soon !
This is similar to my 88 W250 360 4spd. What state are you in?
Up in Saskatchewan, Canada
mopar!

Nice 👍 favorite years 85-90
Nice truck, I’m getting ready to buy one in a couple of weeks.
Amazing how many of the old 3/4 ton dodges were automatic transmission. The 4spd (grandma gear) manual is the best truck transmission ever created.
I’m surprised too, but the 727 was a pretty good auto also. Just not as capable as the np435
@@moparmuscle123 727s never die. My 89 ramcharger took so much abuse
Looks good you guys! Nice work!
The Wheels on your truck are immaculate. What style are these Black wheels?
Thanks, these are 22x12 xf off-road xf216 wheels with 33x12.5s
Gasser or diesel swap?
Just a newer 5.2 swap for now. I plan to put a hemi in it next, just debating about keeping the 727 or swapping a full drivetrain from a newer truck.
