1983 D150 / Slant Six the story Continues
My Dad bought this Dodge D150 new in September of 1982. Dad passed in 2007 and I ended up with the truck. Dad bought it as a D150, short bed, a833 OD transmission, 2 bbl carb, HD suspension and brakes, no other option on the truck, no radio, ac, carpet.
The D150 was in decent shape, rust wise, Dad was driving when perhaps he should not have been, the truck was always garaged, but the front fender corners were bent in from him missing the garage opening. But the truck was clean.
I got it in '07, took it down to the frame, all new parts going in, added about everything that one could put on a new pick up: AC, power windows, power door locks, sound insulation, high brake light, outside temperature and compass....
My intent was to daily drive the D150 in the late spring through the fall months and also use it as a tow vehicle for the 68 Barracuda. And I did. I will dig out a towing photo and post that.
Fast Forward to 2020 and I needed to do some maintenance on the D150 and also wanted to change some things around.
