- So everybody and their brother gets long sitting vehicles running on CZcams, many guys have made quite a living doing it in fact. What is never covered is what to do after it gets running. In this case this gorgeous survivor truck was sitting in a very dry climate in Montana so pretty much everything rubber on it needs to be replaced. The previous owners brother got it running in Montana but i still have a bunch of stuff to fix on it to make it a driver. My brother bought it and in this video he replaces most of the rubber under the hood. I also go into some background on these power wagons and share a special order paint book for Dodge Trucks from this era. Next step is tires and brakes on it.
"Old manned out"? Not sure if offended or not but that just means the previous owner was a smart person. 👍
Old rubber must have been made better back then, I have seen soo many classic cars with factory belts and hoses that were 40+ years old in great shape where I have seen aftermarket replacements that were totally dry rotted and falling apart with in 2-3 years. Same for suspension bushings and motor mounts the modern rubber doesn't last very long.
I used to have an early '65 D200 (poly 318, NP435) that still had the 16.5" split rims. Found a truck tire shop that would change them, but very limited and expensive tire choices. It also felt very silly sitting in line with all those massive commercial vehicles, waiting my turn... 🙂 Fast forward to my current '70 Camper Special (LA318, NP435), it's very original with 57K miles but I wasn't willing to deal with the split rims this time so I replaced them with 16" alloys. Pretty much everything else is what it came with. Color-wise, I thought it was medium burnt orange, but when I got paint that was supposed to be that color, it wasn't nearly as red as the original.
I had the 1966 3/4 ton and I loved that truck. Did not like the 361 engine it was a junk design for sure.
The green paint chips in your samples probably include one for Forest Service vehicles. I remember lots of Dodge Trucks from that time used as fleet vehicles by the Rangers. Thanks for showing it to us.
This thing deserve a rotisserie restomod!
I had that same Craig Pioneer 8-Track player in my 70' 340 Duster back in the day !!!!
TOMmy Can You Hear Me????? 😂
8 track players don't usually go bad .. the tape goes bad due to the foam cushion behind the tape on the cartridge rotting away
If you don;t hear the tape drive when you push in the 8 track cartridge, you may use the past tense when describing it.
Never see this Dodge Power Wagons in such beautiful 😍
You are doing great, Tom. Thanks for the content.
Nothing better than a survivor like this! That's probably the most solid sweptline I have ever seen. I had a 69 D100 way back in the early 80s and even then the step boards inside the door were rusted through. One little detail I noticed when Jamie was working on it is that it has the old straight drive starter. If I'm not mistaken, that was because of the old 4 speed trans. I have a 56 Dodge pickup with a 64 or 65 4 speed and it too has the straight drive starter. Not sure when they switched to the gear reduction starter on the trucks with 4 spd, but I also had a 75 W200 4 speed and that had the gear reduction starter. And my 69 D100 was an automatic and that also had the gear reduction starter. And my dad once had a 72 D800 truck with a 413 and it had the straight drive starter. Interesting Mopar truck trivia.
I apologize for my last comment that truck was made to work 😁
Old school
That truck is a great pickup.
I've got 2 D500s I'm working on, a 70 and a 62. Love any sweptline videos. Hopefully I'll see a 2ton Dodge from y'all at some point
Looking forward to more of this truck. I got a 69 W100 SWB I'm doing the same thing to.
Time piece Looking Forward to more Renewing Parts
LOVE this era Dodge pickups! Thanks Tom!
