I have a 1984 d100 with a slant six and a manual. I stuck slightly bigger tires on it and then stuck a suregrip with better gears in it. I enjoy it. I have no desire to buy any other truck ever.
Good storyline. I have my Dads 86 Chevy C20. Had to update a few things. But I still keep it almost the same. They’re good ol trucks. But the best thing is they were our “Dads”. Nice video at the end 👍
Not everything has to be a Hot Rod… just a good Truck. Love seeing the writing with the firing order and timing. Actually Tom’s dad had that writing inside on the fenders of The Jackpine Savage. Ran the same 440 from 1970-1992
Me and your Dad think alike! I put that same hood ornament on a 1985 W150. I am rooting for the Slant. Just picked one up one too. But whatever, just so it’s not an LS or electric!!!
We need new videos sir I'm stuck watching the news and there's nothing good about that, God bless you Tim, the 43rd Annual Mopar Nats at National Trails Raceway coming up I live right down from the track I do have that coming up Aug 9-11 but until then we need 318willrun
I bought my 85 d150 2 years ago, 318 90,000 miles. Put 4 barell intake holley 600 headers, redid suspension,runs great, the guy i bought it from only used it for camping in the summers, no rust, wouldnt trade it for a new 100, 000 dollar truck
I had an 85 D100, slant six, 727. Drove it all the way from Florida with a rod knock, that thing was tuff! It's front end parts still live on as I have converted my 77 D200 to a half ton
I had my grandfathers 1969 Chevelle 4 door in a light green color I don't like. He was more of a father to me then my dad ever was. A few years I sold it and came to regret it. I was lucky and bought it back a year ago. Long story short, don't ever sell your dads truck, you'll regret it.
Honestly I'd just restore the body and drive it occasionally, after all look at the distance from the alternator to the water pump, it's obvious that someone who knew what they were doing owned that truck it's entire life, Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see what you do with it.👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing sir. And I +1 JustMoparJoe he is an awesome builder. Am cleaning up my 81 W truck with 225,np435 trans,and np 208 tcase. I will be following this truck for sure. Your old man def knew how to keep it clean golly underhood is soo nice. Be safe willrun
Cool old truck. I would maintain it as is. You have Plenty of hot rods already. I have an '88 D-100 I bought new. I paid 10,100 with financing. Its a long WB with V-6 5 speed. If I park it where it can be seen from the road people will stop and ask if its for sale.
Good video, my dad had a '75 D100 with same set up for almost 25yrs as his shop truck. I would stick a Holley avenger 2bbl on there and open the exhaust up to a 2.5in coming out the manifold. Other than that not much else you can do performance wise without tearing into the engine 🙂
How fast do you need to go that slant has ways to make it get up and go in our family were had plenty of slants in early valiants and many friends with them and put many brand x to shame in there so called V8s . It’s already in it and that makes a great start with out all the headaches of mods .
Strange coincidence or not my friend had the same truck same color. I swapped a super 6 manifold and 2 barrel on it. He sold it or traded it in after having it a year or two.
@@NathansMoparGarage Yeah, I could try to verify. How long ago did you do that for your friend? Many times the exhaust manifolds crack, and people would go to the junk yard and it was easier to pull the intake manifold with the exhaust manifold and some swaps happen that way.
Have any knowledge on connecting a lokar kickdown cable on one of these 2 barrels? Cant find anything online. I have not given up trying to make it work but this is making my brain hurt.
I have not used the lokar cables on a 2bbl, but I think you might have to get a little creative to make it work. Might not be any aftermarket support for the 2bbl set up.
In my opinion, this Dodge truck generation is the pinacle of beautifull. Your Father was very wise and you should built your 400ci for when the slant-6 breaks down. In another 50 years maybe ? My 75 valiant as the original slant-6 and everyone yanning at me, put a 318, a 360ci, do the hemi swap... Im not a purist by any kind, i would even put a hook up on a 69 daytona if it's "necessairy" for my needs. "But" I wouldn't swap à perfectly running engine until it breaks down. And when my girls inherite my cars when I pass on, will my girls be able to afford gas in it????? If I really need to go fast, I would built another truck with that 400ci just for that! Right now my 79' Winibago as a 71' truck 318ci with coolant intake passage. It's torquy until 20 mph. LoL Im considering swapping a 360ci or a 5.7 hemi I have in a 2003 truck if Im going to pull a trailer and my car at the track. Your father's wisdom was simple. I need something that brings me back home safe and trouble free. Follow your heart, that's what you need to do! You had that 400ci in you mind for a while now, it's maybe the time to take it off your chest? Hahaha😊
Cool truck, awesome story! I like the touches your Dad added! I'd restore it and leave it just like it is with all his touches!👍
Thanks my friend !!
That rig will outlast my new truck! Thanks for sharing!
They built them for the long haul back then! Thanks Joe!
I love stock. I love modified. Most of all, I love memories.
Excellent post !!!
The stories are always more important than the car or truck.
I agree !!!
Nice piece of history, Glad to see you have a part of your dad to carry on with you. I would just fix it up and enjoy it.
Thank you!
I am definately looking forward to it ....Thanks for sharing this story and the walk around
You are so welcome
Truck cool. The story the people the memories the reminders. PRICELESS! 👍
Absolutely!
Nice truck !
Thanks 👍
I have a 1984 d100 with a slant six and a manual. I stuck slightly bigger tires on it and then stuck a suregrip with better gears in it. I enjoy it. I have no desire to buy any other truck ever.
Very nice!
Looking forward to upcoming videos on the truck. I had a 1984 d150. Great truck!!!
Thanks 👍
I had a couple of slant six square bodies back in the day. I thought they were entirely adequate for transportation and utility. Congratulations!
Thank you!

Glad you like it !
Clean machine! Ive got an '82 w150 shortbed in my fleet. Alongside an '83 Ramcharger, and an '84 w150 longbed.
Thanks! You have a nice collection!
Very cool truck

I 100% agree! You'll spend more time and make more miles in a slow car vs a wild hot rod!
Love the Black dashboard 👍very rare. Thanks for sharing .I'm all about these Dodge trucks. Very cool.
Thank You !!
Me and your Dad think alike! I put that same hood ornament on a 1985 W150. I am rooting for the Slant. Just picked one up one too. But whatever, just so it’s not an LS or electric!!!
It won't be an LS or electric... 😅😅
Thats a super nice truck! My first Hot Rod was an 82 Dodge shortbox. I love them!
Very cool!

@@318willrun Used lots of your videos to work thru getting my truck running smooth, thanks for your time and advice
Very cool truck your dad sounds like he was a cool dude great video
Thanks 👍 I appreciate that, he was indeed !! A true North Dakotian... lol
I have a hoot ornament just like that on my 51 Coronet. Great video Tim! And great truck!
yes.... C-O-R-O-N-E-T !!!
I had an 85 D100, slant six, 727. Drove it all the way from Florida with a rod knock, that thing was tuff! It's front end parts still live on as I have converted my 77 D200 to a half ton
They are tough!
Hey Tim, are you going to the car show in Freeport this year? I'm gonna have both of my trucks there, I'd like to meet you and show you them 👍
@@maceurbi2842 I'm not sure, I'd like to see your trucks! I'm still tied down right now doing honors if you know what I mean.....
@318willrun yessir, hope you're able to find the time, I really enjoy your content brother 👍
I had my grandfathers 1969 Chevelle 4 door in a light green color I don't like. He was more of a father to me then my dad ever was. A few years I sold it and came to regret it. I was lucky and bought it back a year ago. Long story short, don't ever sell your dads truck, you'll regret it.
good advice!
Cool truck and it's in good condition.
Thanks!
Honestly I'd just restore the body and drive it occasionally, after all look at the distance from the alternator to the water pump, it's obvious that someone who knew what they were doing owned that truck it's entire life, Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see what you do with it.👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thanks!!
I like it Tim, what's the plan with it or just leaving like dad had it or do your 400 now after all these years,
Thanks! We are going to do the outside "his style", which should be fun. I've made no decisions on the drive train.
Cool old truck. I would maintain it as is. You have Plenty of hot rods already. I have an '88
D-100 I bought new. I paid 10,100 with financing. Its a long WB with V-6 5 speed. If I park it where it can be seen from the road people will stop and ask if its for sale.
Right on!
Good video, my dad had a '75 D100 with same set up for almost 25yrs as his shop truck. I would stick a Holley avenger 2bbl on there and open the exhaust up to a 2.5in coming out the manifold. Other than that not much else you can do performance wise without tearing into the engine 🙂
Nice, '75 d100 is a great truck!
You don’t really see those around anymore.
Getting more scarce for sure!
A 392 HEMI would go nice under that hood. I even know where a few are.
1st gen or 3rd gen ... 😀 Thanks!
👍👍
👍
Keep the slant
Thanks!
How fast do you need to go that slant has ways to make it get up and go in our family were had plenty of slants in early valiants and many friends with them and put many brand x to shame in there so called V8s . It’s already in it and that makes a great start with out all the headaches of mods .
I don't need all my vehicles to be hot rods, in fact, most aren't'!! Ha! It will be if I want the sound of a V8.
Strange coincidence or not my friend had the same truck same color. I swapped a super 6 manifold and 2 barrel on it. He sold it or traded it in after having it a year or two.
perhaps.. maybe... could it be the same?
@@318willrun Maybe the vin will tell you if it came that way?
@@NathansMoparGarage Yeah, I could try to verify. How long ago did you do that for your friend? Many times the exhaust manifolds crack, and people would go to the junk yard and it was easier to pull the intake manifold with the exhaust manifold and some swaps happen that way.
😎👍
😉
I mounted a large tack on the dashboard under the mirror. Slank six 4 speed, but I thought it looked cool.
That's way cool !!
Have any knowledge on connecting a lokar kickdown cable on one of these 2 barrels? Cant find anything online. I have not given up trying to make it work but this is making my brain hurt.
I have not used the lokar cables on a 2bbl, but I think you might have to get a little creative to make it work. Might not be any aftermarket support for the 2bbl set up.
No compass stuck to the dashboard?
no, but that was common back in the 50's. Dad had a sense of direction!
I have my dads truck aswell.
83 ram stepside
Very Cool !!!
Cant kill a slant 6 and i love the visor...check out my Dodges!
