I can beat that ugly truck! :D

My 1972 D-300 ramp truck. Got it off Craig's last summer, traded 1-1/2 motorcycles for it -





Originally equipped with a 400, advertised having a 440, actually powered by a 1964-vintage 413 (wouldn't be my first choice either, but that's what's in it) with a fairly lumpy cam.:dontknow:, SM465 tranny, and (my favorite), 4-wheel drum brakes, making every stop a panic stop!







Ugly enough that I call it "Der Pig". Shown here with it's Dodge stablemates -







And the fun we had driving it home. It got a bit hot, stopped to cool it off and.....




Evidently the absence of tags gets the attention of an APD Police Service Aide. Nice kid, let me go since I had the paperwork and insurance.


Loud, rough, and ugly, but useful. It is also turning out to be a bigger project than my Duster. I hope to have one of my 440's done by this summer to replace the 413, and maybe find a donor truck to get a decent cab and front clip from. Still and all, gotta love them ramp trucks! :thumbup:
