Yep, I'm even more vintage. My first new car was a '68 Fury III hardtop, and in '73 I bought the yellow Adventurer Sport in that picture I posted. It's been restified twice...paint and trim in 1991, and a full frame off in 2006.
 
this is my crew cab.............my vintage crew cab. 1964 Dodge

It's a lil rusty too lol :cheers: one of my coworkers called it "the bruise" as its black and blue. :toothy10:

and nice crew cabs guys. I've always wanted one like that brown '76 you got nothingbutdarts and out a Cummins in it to tow and haul stuff
 
Here's my 78. My grandfather ordered it new. 360/4spd. Now a 408 stroker in it. I need to get some pics of my progress. Since these pictures were taken, the flatbed is gone, a bed from a donor truck all the way from California has been put on, the motor build complete. Truck's down to the frame. I'm 2 new fenders away from being ready to assemble it for paint.

I also purchased my first NEW car in 1968. It was a 68 Hemi RR. First car was in 1965, it was a 1957 Fairlane. I paid $25.00 for it. Remember those days?
Kids today have no idea.

I bought my first car in 1990 for $150, 79 Malibu. I guess you call that inflation. I enjoyed it for a year on the backroads before I turned 16. I sold it to whoever had the most money in their pocket that day, got a whopping $5 for it! Lol!! Oh well, it was worth it, I had a lot of fun in that car teaching myself how to drive on gravel! ;)

The Bruise, lol, love it! Rust is what ultimately killed my truck. Box sides that flopped in the breeze, big holes in the floor, nonexistent cab mounts...damn Canadian winters! :finga:
 
Here is my '72 D100 Adventurer SE and a friends '73 Charger SE.

72Truck_zps1e56bdb8.jpeg


First year for that body.

#'s matching 360/727 3.23 open, A/C, P/S, power discs, cruise control, cargo lamp, headliner, SE trim, molded door panels, brocade bench seat, carpet, am/fm radio, tachometer, sport mirrors (wrong ones in the pic, have the right ones), bumper guards, woodgrain SE tailgate with cursive script badge instead of stamped DODGE callout, factory air shocks and tow/ camper package rear springs that go with the air shocks.

Has every option available for a small block 2wd truck, except for under bed stowage and extra gas tank. Found it on accident.
 
Here are a bunch at Joe's place, lots of cool ones!

Recently picked this up, 360 4 speed



Factory 440 Ramcharger.



A pair of factory big block Power Wagons.











He picked this up for under $1000, and made it his daily driver. 360 auto.





Here's a nice unrestored Ramcharger a guy has in town.





Factory 440 Power Wagon that was at the steel salvage yard I worked at. Someone brought it by to sell it, but the frame was twisted really bad.





 
My truck isn't B5. The Charger behind it is, but my truck is a Spring Special blue, non metallic. Kind of a rare color. I have yet to see it on another mopar.
 
like this 78 LRE and added a 79 Ramcharger with the removable top two weeks back

Dude that truck is freaking awesome. And you are having trouble selling? Wow if you weren't on the complete opposite side of the country Id love to get it.
 
I have a 76 military M880 (I think) in camo. I'll post pics later.
