Not an A-Body, but has a slant 6

Hey y'all, sorry for posting this HERE at FABO, but since I'm a member and we're gonna use this to tow the Valiant to the race track I figured it would be acceptable....

We just bought a 1965 Dodge D200 Crew Cab Utiline truck with a 225 slant and 4 speed....can't wait to see the 1965 Valiant drag car on a trailer behind it!

First order of business is installing a "new" (as in came out of a running truck) slant 6 in it, getting the brakes squared away, and makin' sure she'll stop when I need her to!

Hasn't run in I don't know how many years, but I'd love to have it on the road by the first weekend of April for the Lonestar Roundup here in Austin. Wish me luck.

Wayne

Cool...I didn't know they even had crew cabs back then.....will be a nice and scarce tow vehicle.

Blue valve cover? Must have been on the road since what...at least 70, eh?

Congrats on the new truck. Looks like the engine is a later 70-up style with that valve cover. Shouldn't be too hard finding a decent slant to replace it.

that is gotta be one of the coolest trucks i have seen in a long time. that would make a cool retro racecar hauler!
