well my slant six truck came home today, i was really amazed how fast it is. i'm slowly getting use to the 4 speed manual. i was also surprized how easly it is to bark the tires in it ... fun!  i will prolly paint it flat black like the dart we where looking @ on craigslist (other post) hmm more work and the dart is far from finished! anyways here is the pictures!

I seem to collect white Dodges. You seems to collect green. The power steering and brakes are nice in a truck. Is this the granny low gear 4-speed? |

yeah uber low granny 1st, i don't even use it. ugg my wife is having to re-teach me how to drive a 4 on the floor  well this thing needs a lot of work i have been scrubbing my ass off. i took a pressure washer to the inside of the cab. i am gonna need the following stuff: about 50.00 in misc stuff from the parts store for the engine plus some extra for an all around tune up. seat power steering pump tires new floor in the cab right fender - right door (pretty dented up) PAINT! windscreen - it has cracks think that is it unless somthing else goes wrong killer motor runs like a champ and great transmission! oh the title and registration say 78 but the door says 77 so i am gonna try to licence it as a 77 so i can avoid deq. (and yes the vins match up) oh and pwr breaks and steering plus front disc brakes ... it stops really well. |

Ahh, the NP435. A very good transmission. I have an extra Saginaw power steering pump. Does yours leak or what? What misc engine stuff do you need? |

Sadly unless you live in the southlands, DEQ smogs all 1975+ vehicles... I ran into that when I lived in Tigard and the DMV wouldn't issue a license plate for my '74, until the manager came over and told the clerk that 1974 is exempt... So 'when' Salem gets it's first station, both Feather Duster's will have to do the 'idle' test, unless either I can get a 'special' plate (collectible) or someone collects enough signatures to get Oregon to abandon the idea that we still have millions of cars from 1975-1980 on the road (yet the couple million of pre-74 cars don't pollute as much as the 75-80 jet set...)...a rolling 20 year exemption would be nice, sadly DMV will not release their data to support that there are probably as many 1975/76/77/78 vehicles on the road as there are 72/73/74.... (and the number of 1969 Chevelles in my town without their OEM equipment probably make up for the lack of slant sixes....), I thought Washington was going to the rolling exemption, anyone?Soapbox away...Sorry.... -D.Idiot |

My 82 D150 with a stock 225, 4 speed overdrive and 3:55 rear ran a best of 19.6 at 68 mph ( if memory serves me correctly ) in the 1/4. It's pictured here with the original owners wife ( my aunt ) but in this picture it's running a hopped up 360 / 727 combo. Right now the truck is scattered all over my shed in various pieces. One of these days I hope to get it back together-might even go back to slant power

today i built a plywood floor in the cab i painted it and it looks pretty nice. goldyn and i went to autozone and droped 75.00 in parts and another 10.00 @ the hardware store i use to work @ for misc grade 8 bolts and such. the valve cover was totally loose, so new gasket and other stuff had to happen before i trust it to go 50 feet. the motor & tranz was replaced 20k miles ago so its pretty and nice inside. looks better than mine! outside / engine bay is a mess. the radiator was loose from it mounts and since i saw fopar fix mine (on my dart) i got out the torch,flux and solder and fix'd er right up. learning is fun and usefull! and slantsix.org rocks! next is dealing with the second tank removal there is a ton of fuel line that goes no where! so @ 0.58 cents a foot i am gonna re run the fuel line. thank god it has a shiny new holly 1945 i think? then properly mount the spare tire and deal with sloppy hippie wiring. next up is my rant: i'm all 420 friendly and i once had dreadlocks down to my butt (imagine al from ministry) but damn it wire up a automobile properly. more to come! good luck in medford guys and gals! i wish i was with you! |

nice truck! at first i thought that you said "i took a pressure washer to the inside of the CARB' , i imagined an 'r' in there somehow...i was going to say, um, i really hope its off the truck! i thought you knew what you were doing...yeah, the cab...did that on our a100 to get out years of mice nests... |

i found a free bedliner off craigslist today, i picked it up strapped it to the roof of my dart and drove home @ 15mph with the flashers on. perfect fit it came from a 1980 dodge ram truck.and it is in great shape and only a couple years old. its a bodygard brand and still had the stickers on it. good score! my mom will be in town tomorrow with a BRAND NEW SET of truck tires for it. i am having some issues with the tailgate so i will prolly get a cargo net / tailgate net (i don't know the proper term) next is to get the spare tire properly mounted under the truck and the new carbrator on. my landscaping/construction /lawnscaping biz is doing ok for its frist week, hopefully it will be even better with the truck running. after i get it all fixed up i'll add some new pictures. cheers! |
