- This truck is a handful with manual steering on these roads, gotta be careful of gravel from driveways and people doing dumb things around corners. I didn't go as fast as I could 'cause that would be reckless and stupid. Last time I did that in a Dodge I almost hit a bear up to his hindquarters in a trash can in the middle of the road.
The truck is a 1983 Dodge D150 short bed "Miser" trim, factory slant 6 swapped to a 318 with the factory 4 speed manual behind it. Manual steering, stock otherwise.
Question: Do you still have the /6 engine?
No, I sold it after it was pulled. I don't have room for spare engines, did the swap in my driveway.
@@DeadReckon I was hoping you still had it, and would sell the smog pump bracket. I need one to get my D-100 inspected, seems they check that stuff now, always passed before without the smog pump but not now. Got a pump but no bracket to mount the damned thing. Turns out to be a difficult piece to find for a /6, nobody kept them. Salute, to changing engines in the driveway. Been there done that twice. (different vehicles)
@@tonyunderwood9678 Ah gotcha, they don't care about smog pumps around here, if my truck came with one it was deleted way before I got it. They do perform a visual inspection for a cat sometimes, but they don't do emissions sniffing or care about smog or EGR.
@@DeadReckon Watch where you take it for a state inspection. I'm in Garden City, took my truck to Kelly's on G.C. Blvd. They gigged it for not having a smog pump. Hell, it never had one long as I've had it, previous owner likely removed it. I guess I could always look around for another inspection spot and have it re-inspected, although Kelly's said that the inspection places are being told to check stuff like that. Tacky.. I mean damn it's a 39 year old truck and they wanna flunk it for not having a smog pump, and only northern VA. actually sniffs for smog, not around here. Thinking maybe Kelly's is being a bit nitpicky... They actually said it would be legal to tag and drive it as an antique but if it's registered for standard plates (this one is) it's illegal to operate it without the smog pump. I mean wtf... Might end up finding some other inspection station that's not so gestapo'ish if I can't turn up a smog pump mount bracket.
@@tonyunderwood9678 Never used them, don't want to put the people I do use out on the internet either JIC. If you happen to catch me at home one day I can recommend a few places to go for inspection.
I won't name the shop but I had one in trouble with the State Police over my '93 F150, it had a courtesy light over the bed, not a 3rd brake light, failed me for a 3rd brake light being out... That was a long, pain in the ass day.
