Well if all goes well I'll be having a new project truck finding its way to my shop. A 1976 Dodge W200 885. It'll have the 318 motor with a 727 transmission. Dana 44's up front and Dana 60's in the rear. 30,973 ORIGINAL miles!!!!!!! It was an old Army truck which was bought by our local Sheriffs office and will be hopefully gotten by me next. It is either a 3/4 ton or a 1 1/4 ton truck. I'm pretty sure its only a 3/4 though but I'm not positive.
We plan on striping it down to the frame and and replacing anything that needs it. The body is in amazing condition with exception to the tailgate and a little rust on the doors (which is nothing!!) The engine will still turn by hand (didn't have the keys so couldn't start it). Frame appears to be in perfect condition, surface rust but nothing more then that.
Here are some pictures of it...
Truck has been sitting since 2002 so it has seen better days but has a lot of potenial!! I should know by the middle of the week rather I'll have it or not.
Comments are welcome as well as ideas on what to do with it!!
