- I love Power Wagons. I've had a bunch of them. But I've never done any real seat time in a 60s era Sweptline Power Wagon, which is unfortunate because I've always thought they were some of the coolest. I actually own one of these trucks myself, but unlike Gary's truck we're seeing here, mine is an awful piece of garbage. Anyway, this truck has been sitting in Montana for many years, and while it's already running and kind of driving, it's going to need a lot of help in the near future. Let's take a look at this fine specimen and see what's what. @rocketresto
When trucks were trucks …👌🏼⛽️
And sheep were nervous
A real man's vehicle 😊
😂 "... over-charging currently..." @12:08. I'm sure you didn't even realize the bad dad punny joke. I laughed.
Haaahaha. No, I can’t take credit for intentionally doing that one.
You don’t see sweptlines in that good original shape. Now that’s a truck
In the case of where I live, you don’t see sweptlines at all - unless you have an internet connection
@@kellismith4329In ‘22 or ‘23, a local guy was selling 70 w200 camper special with a 383 for like 3500. I passed on the account of no P/S PB and manual. Too much truck for me
@@shotgunrain1994 oh man, sounds like my kinda truck
In the case of where I live they are all over the place.
I got chills when i saw those wheels.. I saw & worked my fair share of that model wheels between 2010 to 2017. I can be proud, nobody died.
Fawn Beige is really a very sweet color!! In 1998, I purchased ($3,500 and $400 frgt, Denver to Michigan) a 1968 Dodge D200 Camper Special, Fawn Beige, w/383, AT on the dashboard, 2WD, original paint with 75k, and included tailgate!! Had it ,for 16 years!! Very rust free. Except for drivers side floor, just like Jamie's!! It was originally purchased at Tacoma Dodge, Washington State!! It was beautiful!😢 PS - it's long gone, but I still have a 1986 Dodge D150, 360, 2WD, 115k, rust free. 1991 Dodge D150, 318, 2WD, 105k (little cancer, but it's my wood hauler). 1996 D200, extended cab,, 360, 2WD 150k, super clean, never has been driven in the winter, rust free!! And Jamie almost convinced me not to buy a 1960's Dodge 3/4 ton, 4WD. When he was driving across that field!! Deja Vu all over again. Thanks Jamie!!
I got me a 67 W200 Crew Cab
unfortunately, Summer prices have made getting it out of Alaska quite difficult
That is in really good shape considering the age and how it was used over the years. A true survivor!
Thanks Jamie for the Power Wagon history lesson! Yes, I rode in a few of those trucks and they ride like crap, as we called them Kidney Busters!
Love stuff like the pepsi can heat shield, dates the repairs and adds to the stories of the trucks life
My favorite truck
Awesome truck! And great story on their history!👍
My dad had a 66 3/4 ton but it was a 2wd and a light shade of green. The worst thing about the truck was that the area where the door hinges mounted was rusted, which was supposedly common in the rust belt where we lived. The rest of the truck was actually in pretty good shape, considering this was the 90s when he bought it. It DEFINITELY had a very good running engine. Dad thought it was a 360, but it was actually a 318 (you could not talk him out of anything once he got an idea into his hard head--LOL). He ended up selling it to a friend of his, and I don't know what happened to it after that.
Rocket restoration and dead dodge garage two of my favorite channels keep up the good work Tom and Jamie
Awesome truck!
My grandfather gave me his 70 Dude for graduation. (97)
It has an early (no marker) front clip. That was changed after a drunk neighbor lady hit us head on when I was 11ish. Grandpa saved me from eating the dash but he hit the wheel hard enough to bend the steering wheel with his belly. It turned all kinds of bruise colors.
Anyway, when I got it it had been setting for 10 years, the 318 was all but seized up. After 2 weeks of turning the crank back and forth every day with a healthy dose of trans fluid/diesel mix it finally turned freely. I rebuilt the 2bbl carb and drove it for 3 years. It started running rough me and dad narrowed it down to a timing issue. The more we messed with it the worse it got. We finally gave up pulled the motor and then I picked up a 78 newyorker. Never got back to the Dude.
I still have it. I’d like to throw a low-tech late model magnum in it at some point.
If being a Dude wasn’t rare enough the top of the cab never was painted to match the stripe. I have seen a couple the same way. A blue and a green. Mine is burnt orange/white stripe.
Here is a fun fact. The 2wd front spring pack has more arch than the 4wd. So if you need to lower a 2wd or raise a 4wd you can swap top springs in the pack. It’s like a 1-2” difference.
Wow! That’s nuts. Incredible that you’ve still got it, those are neat trucks. I am aware of the front spring difference. When I was lowering my gold truck, I did lots of reading on the subject and learned that. But I still ended up doing it the free and hacky way.
Looked like the front Driveshaft may bent in the beginning of the video. Such a great video 👍Some of the sheet metal like inside the bed are similar stamping too the 2nd gens. I always liked how Dodge would use what they already had in inventory just for a different vehicle application like the door handles, ,doors, vent windows. The 2nd gen uses the same removable door hinges left 👈 To right 👉. Simple and compatible..
I’ll check that driveshaft when I get a chance! Thanks!
Don't know why I didn't watch this one sooner. I drove a '67 D100 my senior year in high school, Dad paid $400 for it, "fixed" the floor with galvanized sheet metal and self tappers. Slant six and three on the tree, top speed about 70 mph, though Lord knows I tried. :-D I'd forgotten all about that weird unopenable ashtray thing. My current Sweptline is a '70 Camper Special, same driveline as this one, LA318 and NP435, and its Carter BBD still works like a champ. Thanks!
My first bosses dad had a 6 wheel drive unit. 318 . Dump bed. Old truck would only do maybe 45 mph. But that thing would go anywhere.
Thanks Jamie for sharing these classics of all types.
That Truck is absolutely Phenomenal 🥰 !!!!!
You never see them in original untamperd with condition 🏆
Oh sh!t , split rims 💀
Gotta respect that farm Boi
Auxiliary pipe engineering
Worked on a farm as a teenager
They had a (barely street legal)
Rotted out 1970 , short box , 6' bed
Power Wagon . Manual steering . Manual 4 wheel drum brakes . Manual transmission ( wall climbing low 1st gear )
LA 318 , 2bbl . 5 lug , 1/2 ton
Please keep sharing move vlogs
of these trucks , Jamie
I appreciate them
It brings back lots of memories. Fond and otherwise.
When in the USAF I was in vehicle maintenance and assigned a W300 with a telephone truck box on it for our mission of fixing and rescuing disabled vehicles in the missile complex at GFAFB (1976-1980). We had a LOT of that generation of D100 and D200 's. The first 8 months (before mobile maintenance) I was on base I was on base, I must have rebuilt 50 or more of those vehicles' steering gears. I still hate those recirculating ball pieces of junk.
Long ago I owned a 1965 Dodge 3/4 ton 2 wheel drive with the slant 6 engine. Out of all the trucks I've owned in the last 50+ years, that was one of the toughest. It simply wouldn't die. Always reliable and got the job done, and I didn't necessarily treat it nicely. But back then trucks were used as, well......trucks!!
I learned to drive stick on a '70 Fargo 1/2 ton that wore the same faded tan color, slant 6 with the farmer four speed. Ages ago, but this brought back a lot of great memories!
I had a '73 Swinger that was that same "puke beige" color.
Me too, funny enough. ‘73 Swinger resplendent in beige with beige interior. I fixed/ruined that with some spray paint before long.
@@DeadDodgeGarageand did you know that the early series W series makes a great ramp truck?....
(Don't get mad at me Jaime....not only am I a big c body guy but a W series guy too).....
But sell it a hipster outdoor exec ... I bet you'll get 35k for it
It's called fawn beige, and it's really quite nice!! I had 1968 2 wd, W200, 383, 75,000 miles, original paint, it came from Tacoma Dodge, Washington. I had it from 1998 to 2015. 😢
Another good one. Always a pleasure seeing truck shtuffs on the DDG channel. Just cleaned and painted my w150 frame with STEEL-IT spray paint. Stuff is def different I suggest it. Cheers DDG!
DUBS owned a 67 W100 short bed step side. Was the "snofighter" model. Huge Ft. Leaf springs, w/ super light rears. Ft. & R. 4.10 Danas. 225x4Spd. Rare model. What a beast!!!!,,,Love DUBS,,,
Cool old truck. Thanks for sharing
Awesome! So cool to see anything in original paint 😎
I love that truck! And I love that faded salmon pink color!
I had a 1967 D200 it looks like the same body style. Good luck making a U Turn at a light the turning radius is horrible. Mine had a 318 great Videos Jamie . 👍🌮🌮🌮
Awesome! I love my '66! Yes, it's a farm truck and will ride as such. I've improved mine a bit with tires and shocks. But what she lacks on the street, she more than makes up for in mud and snow. You just have to try it. Of course, being around 5.5k lbs you won't pass a gas station much, and the teeny gas tank behind the seat will choke you with fumes on hot days but that's par for the course. I got *most* of the gauges in mine to function, and yes, my speedo wails like banshee at times. I had to disable the dash oil pressure gauge cuz leaks. And if you go aftermarket like I did, it becomes a PAIN to access the dizzy hold down bolt. Mine has the custom and PW badging, altho I'm not sure what that entails, it has the same trim style as that one does. One thing to check is the cowl, if they sit outside the dirt collects in there. I must have had a cubic yard in mine. Overall, a very solid truck! Lambvinskis Garage would be proud! Cheers Jamie, hopefully more videos on this truck soon.
Love that truck. Love it!
50 Sheets of 12 foot 1/2'' wallboard in the back of a 67 Dodge 250 out of Canada slant six and the springs just started to bend. Front end was a little light, as I recall. Truck had been owned by a logging company and may have had beefed springs. No power steering and top speed was maybe 65. It helped me build my first house. It had 2 pc rims. Greg Hannon, thanks for the lend.
Good truck. I had a 78 D 100 when I was a kid Orange snow fighter with the stripe and everything. Simple truck. Wish I still had it
Gotta love old trucks, it’s a full body experience that reminds us just how soft we’ve become compared to the old timers. Great vid as usual!
That 8-track gave me a start! I ordered that exact unit while I was in Vietnam and had it shipped home with the matching 8-track recorder (yes, I was everybody's friend for a while). The 8-track went under the seat of my 57 Chevy and I operated it via Braille. Never had it stolen, though.
Nice! Gary was disappointed that I never tested it in the video. I meant to, but you know how things go.
Dead Dodge Garage- “What’s the worst that could happen?”
That’s the t-shirt. We need it.
It’s literally on the list 😅
I like that you do these, they are educational. Like on the Monaco earlier, I would have never known about the fuel line setup to put gas in another car.
I always wonder why they did away with some of the cool stuff that older cars had. The hill assist clutch setup for example.
I love love love 1961 through 71 Dodge trucks. sweptlines And what I love about them? The most is nobody ever bought one of those trucks and left it in their garage and wiped it down with a rag. They were used abused and ran hard, and yet you still see them driving and running. In my mind, they are the of what a truck is supposed to be 4 tires, doors that open and close no suspension goes every time you start it. But In my personal opinion, the 6667 pie dish headlights was by far. The ugliest my personal favorite is the 70 grill and the 64 with 4 headlight is so cool with that older style hood,
keep up good videos
I completely agree. I don’t mind the ‘70 either, but make mine a four headlight model, please!
These were such a good basic truck.
I owned a ‘67 Crew Cab Long Bed camper special in Bell Telephone Yellow.
318 replaced with 360.I held onto it for years after i stopped using it and one day at Englishtown Raceway Park met a guy running an Anglia towed by a D-100 shortbed there.
I offered the truck to him for free and he came the next week with a borrowed tow truck and took it to Pennsylvania.
I always wonder whatever happened to it.
Cool old truck I really would like to have a crew cab one. Well with a 12 valve under the hood. Keep up the great work and stay safe out there.
You nailed it, that’s a Minnesota 19! 🤣 Stuff like that is pretty much unheard of around here. We got 10 year old Chevys running around with more rust than that.
In Montana if a vehicle is 11 years or older you can do permanent registration as long as you own it (if you sell the new owner has to register on their own, fees paid don't transfer). I just two days ago perm registered a 96 Ram 2500 cummins truck with custom plates and it was $275.24
My first truck was a 1971 D200 camper special with the 383 two-barrel and automatic transmission and manual steering it was a tank and I sure do miss it
Nice show sir cool Dodge Nice yard 😃👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
Very cool truck thanks for the ride
That was fun. Great old truck. 😊
My favorite pick-up, ever. The Power Wagon. They seem to fall into your lap. They are not seen here where I live.
Please think of me if you should run into another decent one . Thanks Jamie! Regards from Ody Slim
Montana license plate number 34 locates that truck to Northeast Montana, Plentywood area. Somebody had a long drive across the hi line!
It needs to be restored to perfection
I completely disagree. It’s a low mileage survivor truck and it’s going to stay that way. But it is in the process of being made mechanically sound, it will get a nice buff and detail job, and I’m sure he will have the seat upholstery redone.
That is an awesome survivor! And yeah, a swap to a newer chassis, or doing something with those massive leaf springs really helps these trucks. The W200 was ok if they were carrying a heavy load, but empty they are brutal. As I'm sure you know, the D100 2wds are much better riding. I had a 69 at one time that really rode pretty well, at least for a straight axle truck.
I also had a 75 W200, and I honestly couldn't tell much difference between that and the W100 of that vintage. But, I'm sure there were optional springs that would provide the rougher ride and carry a heavier load.
Wish I still had my Grandad's '69. I'll have another one day. Love the Sweptlines! Real Trucks!❤
4 door model was the vehicle generals drove around in over in Vietnam..probably loaded A/C power etc.
The door handles looks like our early valiants in 🇦🇺 she be a great truck . 👍🏻.
It look like a good bladder shaker. What it really needs is a Coffee Cup holder
Worked on a farm in the 80s had a truck just like that . ""Great farm truck ""over 25 mph it would shake and shimmy. The swaybar type thing on front differentas hit many a stump " before i came along" but great hard working reliable truck it would climb a tree in 4 low.
Good old work truck...wonder how many jobs the old truck did in its day...good old oil slinging 318" so reliable....good content and thanks....🔧🔧🐐👍
That is one sick ass truck, Jaime hell yeah great video
I had to go look and make sure you hadn't stolen my black '78 Power Wagon short bed with roll bar......it's EXACTLY the same!
😮
Did you show me pictures of this truck when we met up? It looks familiar
I think I did! They were definitely in that area around that time. We were on roughly parallel road trips, but I was ahead and a state or two to the south.
You're right and I'm sorry. That wind noise reflects positively on your select videos. Peace.
It’s really inconvenient at times. I had to edit around it a lot in today’s video…
A buddy and myself had a lot of questionable adventures in the late 70's courtesy of a 1967 D100, 225, NP435, 3.91 Limited Slip. There was not a body panel without at least one 'Whiskey Dent'. However it was totally reliable, from Downtown Dallas to the Missouri hills. .....Good Times!
Great old truck, (ouch!)....
In spite of utilitarian construction we all love. The truck does have creature comforts like interior step ups that remain clean in bad weather. And of course the gilded lilly trim.
you need a couple of sets of them there "Iso-Clamps" for those leaf to axle interchanges.
It might do… something… haha.
Love this truck!!!😊
Awesome truck! Ram Tough!
Had a 53 M-37. That thing was awesome. Actually rode smooth with the huge oem Gabriel shocks on it. The military tires sucked. And not much for brakes.
Dude! The 3/4 ton M37s ride *so* much better than the civilian one ton Power Wagons.
That thing is great! The ride "quality" reminds me of my friend's late 70s Chevy 1-ton, full time 4wd when it wasn't loaded with roofing shingles on the way to the landfill. Added bonus was the leaky gas tank making MPG laughable.
TC is a NP 201 with the clunker gear. I sold a ultra low mileage 62 that had a factory rear PTO on it so it did carry over onto the Sweptline era trucks altho rare like the earlier civilian cab trucks.
Nice! Good to know on both points.
I always wanted one of those late 70s power wagons with the 360 4 bbl 727 torqueflite painted orange
Fun fact In Canada we didn’t get the La motors until 1968
I knew that!
Regarding the PW Emblems on the hood. They should be there. Hood was either repainted or replaced. Look on the inside to see if remnants of the holes were there or welded shut. Also tons of these trucks were body swapped. Verify door tags state W-Series versus D-series. W200 series should start with 22, D series would be 12. If bolts were used instead of factory rivits on the TC crossmember to frame it was swapped.
I’m hip to the prevalence of body swaps and 4x4 conversions. As I believe I showed in the video, it’s a plate for a 4x4 that lists a front axle, and it is a 22 vin. Crossmember has factory rivets. My assumption is that the emblems are not there because that trim covers the spot they are supposed to occupy.
I stumbled across a 70 Camper Special Sweptside that runs and has a body as nice as that one on Facebook Marketplace tonight which is shocking. O can't remember if they y asking $500 or $750 but it was well under a grand. It's in northeastern Minnesota
Now that’s an actual truck…..unlike the cars with pickup beds that make today. Awesome video 👍🏻
By the way….was that motor mount on the drivers side cracked thru or should I call for an eye appointment on Monday? 🤓
Cracked, absolutely. Cracked through? Ehhh... yeah, probably.
driving though the tall weeds cleans the crap off the frame and such
Ha! A semi ghost run Nice! I bet that rig would buff out pretty nice!
I've never driven a power wagon , so can only imagine how harsh it rides , but probably like an old 1970's Toyota Landcruiser I drove once , it pretty much felt it had steel tires .
Finally figured out the beard. Farmer look to match the video truck. Nice Jamie. You’re really figuring it out!
HD gas shocks coil over or add pair in rear only help fir lumber eGin. 68 was last year hydro clutch.
They got the "wagon" part right, that's what they ride like lol. The 600 and up series are very accessible as well with hinged fenders.
I heard the neck crack. Sounded wonderful
It also felt wonderful. Haha.
Wish mine would...I need a chiropractor visit. Ribs too...maybe a shoulder or 2 as well. lol
The year I was born this truck
Neat Truck-you don't see many 'survivors' from that era.
Those 'overload' coil springs out back aren't helping the ride on the 'field trip'.
Lot of owners embraced the newfangled 8-track technology.
And a lot of old cars and trucks dashes paid the price with 8- track stereo holes so big you could change out the heater core thru them- glad that truck didn't get hacked up like that.
Ordered Tires yesterday, now time for rubber bits
The coil springs made me cackle 🤣 did he think it’d soften the ride?
Oh I’m sure it was for extra weight handling… something about stacks of hay bales.
My yard was trying to do the same thing with the same dart at one point, weird 😂
😅
Always like them even though it's like driving a tractor. I had a 42 wc21 for about 10 years and still have 2 m37s.
Fun facts. 64-65 d-100 special fancy made CSS CUSTOM SPORT SPECIAL . Get this men! 426 Ramcharger option.
Neighbor Dodge guy has 2 them SWEET. 69 44 front 60 option. D
70-71 along came 150 250 350. And the Sno-Fiter. 71 Dude. Rare Sport Model the Hustler.
150-350 is later than that, the 150 was phased in around ‘78 and the others followed in maybe ‘80? Don’t remember exactly. Yeah, the CSS trucks are awesome.
We always call them Dolly Parton headlights lol
😅
Watch out that tall grass will clog the radiator. Cool truck!
Many of Dodge's had a hard life
I still have a scar on the back of my hand from helping my dad swap engines in my grandpa’s 64. Did you know that flywheel teeth can cut flesh? I learned that lesson that day. On a positive note, we didn’t have to take the hood off.
Ouch!
@@DeadDodgeGarageI think I was 12 at the time. I thought it was a very manly injury and was weirdly proud of it. 😂
There’s a late seventies power wagon for sale on marketplace but know one will buy it because of no title and asking to much and in the ad it’s was running when parked which looks like decades ago.
They can be had for reasonable money, but I’ve seen more than a few optimistic Power Wagon sellers lately…
The NP420 is very similar, only synchronized in 3rd and 4th
Yep, that’s what I thought. Excellent.
I love it.
I was hoping you where going to do a video on this one. I got a 69 W100, it doesn't ride any better. I see the steering is wondering like mine. I need to adjust the worm gear on mine bad. I do have 2 of those carbs if you need them. 1 is a new rebuilt core.
We’ve got a bunch of cores to choose from. The throttle shaft opening is the big issue they all seem to have… I don’t have the technology to bush them here, but I would like to figure that out some day.
Dodge started the big back window in 67. 67 was the change over year for the door handles, large back window and LA318. 1969 was first year for the mechanical clutch in the 100/200. Hydrolic in the 1 ton and bigger. Also 69 was when the PW emblem was moved to the fender. 67 was the first year for back up lights. Does the first 2 digits of vin start with 22?
Familiar with big trucks keeping the hydraulic setup, my W500 had it. Not sure on vin. Was it visible when I showed the plate?
Where in the videos did you show the data plate?
New paint Fall quiets on there. Take it some get a nice new frame on there. LA d lights ripped the old - out. Put a nice news in the stereo. And there's fair William there new -
I’m guessing this is a speech to text fail. They’ve got it out for us…
