Vintage Dodge trucks.....73 and up....

-
My old hotrod. Been sitting in the garage for years, note the gauges had even fell apart. Changed the MSD box, fired right up. Sold it to my nephew. 440 with a few beans, 727 w/3300 stall, 4.88's. 1.60ish 60fts, high 12's. Loads of fun on the street.

here's our 73 car hauler, slowly converting it to cummins, 5-speed/3.07 rear gear

since the floors were rotted, we cut the floors out of the donor 92 cummins club cab

Sorry PG, no pics. I built the hood back in the late 90's for another pickup I had. It was somewhat of a novel idea back then. Had a flat hood with the Challenger Rallye bulge grafted on before that. A guy I knew just had to have it so I sold it to him.

His is a '71 Roadrunner hood with the giant callout spots on the slants. Not an Air Grabber hood.

My '86 Ramcharger, me and a friend of mine messing around on a pile of rocks. I love this old truck. Built out of parts from 3-4 junked out trucks, dependable as a hammer. And I don't have to wax it.

Yeah, I love old Dodge trucks too. Here's a few from the past few years.


Really happy with my 2006 Mega Cab right now , though.

I've had two Ramchargers in my life - a '79 and an '89 as well as an '83 D150. Just bought the kid an '89 D100 for his eighteenth birthday.

I loved the '79. Transplanted in 400 4bbl. Damned thing had enough torque and traction to pull a loaded semi out of the mud.

But I preferred the '89. Stone cold reliable. And I liked the lay out of dash on the '80's trucks. More ergonomic. Don't have to reach for the radio or the heater/ac controls. I got so I could push the button on the controls with one finger while flipping the fan switch with my thumb.

I can't do that with my same year F150. I have to reach around the shifter to reach the heater controls and the radio.
