I know how to drive a manual! The wheel hop I mentioned is a bad clutch. I left the part of me stalling in there because it was all real. Thanks for watching and be looking for part 2!
MoPars forever brother :-)
What did you give for it?
That's awesome will be subscribing and watching in the future
You want another dodge? 72 d100
I had a 1985 Dodge I bought used from a guy who plowed snow in an apartment complex. The truck had 16,576 miles on it. (back and forth) It had rust (upstate N.Y.) it ran great, but the box was ready to fall off. Had a 318 with a 727 trans & 4wd. I drove that truck for 17 YEARS !!! and plowed snow every winter,I had a long driveway. By the time I sold it, I had replaced everything except the motor and trans. 2 cabs, 3 frames 3 boxes, as I was driving one day it dawned on me that It looked like and easter egg . and the only things original were the engine the trans, steering wheel and the strip where the wipers were. It ended up in a junk yard, and it was used as a "yard truck". BTY I've got 8 years on it's replacement , a '99 with a 360, with some "upgrades" to the motor and trans. sadly, rust is taking it's tole. but, with 172,000 on it, it will still run up to 80 if called upon......
Very heart warming to see old iron being saved and having a new chance at life.
4DIYers love classics I’m saving a couple of my own
I agree
I’m new to it mostly but how much does it cost on average to get a truck like this and get it road legal
@@whydoihave6neutrals772 Yes, I, too, am interested to know. Thanks.
@@whydoihave6neutrals772 I am here to tell you that’s I don’t have any idea how much it cost
I love the sound of an old truck creaking while filling up an OLD tire!
I like what you're doing Dylan. Nice to see the younger generation still interested these old trucks. I'm 52 now and totally remember these trucks new!
Anybody my age, (old), would recognize the sound of the Chrysler starter in a heartbeat.
Rusty Pumpkin? Back in the day, there used to be a 1963 Plymouth Sport Fury drag car called the Pumpkin because of its color.
Ok
Rusted out, no bed floor, no brakes, weak clutch, gotta use an external fuel system, Mickey Mouse home made shifter.. What's not to love, it's an ol Dodge! In my youth, I used to screw around with these things, and flip um too. It was fun! Enjoy it!
Rusted out? That thing looks like it has less rust on it than most '05 Chevys and Fords
Young folk today have no idea at all of the kinda fun we had learning how to keep old cars and trucks going
your damm right
@@EzioNova9293 😆 lol
you will never be able to park a modern truck in a field for 13 and get it running and driving as easy as that with all those modern electrics
If it's a Cummins chances are very high, probably not with a ford
well said top man
@@noidontthinksolol well shes good truck
@@dom4591 amen
don't listen to Brandon Roberts a dodge will last forevrr
"sounds like a good starter"mopar starter sounds like its done when its good.
Lol of course it ran, it's a small block mopar. Another cool addition!
Exhaust sounds 👌
I am almost certain this truck was owned by my dad in the mid eighties. i have pictures of him sitting in a truck IDENTICAL to this, and when we talk about his orange step side he always complains it had 4 way drums.
^ what he said
your so lucky to find a truck like this !! wow !! a real classic
i hope you saved this truck and got it back on the road
Steve Dulcich approves
Lol
William Singer 😂
Dulcich is a god among men.
@@area85restorations75 Rick Ehrenberg has forgotten more than Dulcich knows about Mopars .
I bet if dulcich was there he would buy this boy a beer.
D100s are awesome trucks with a ton of style. Great to see you getting her up and mobile again. Long Live Rumpkin!
It's so weird when you go with all the equipment and the freaking thing starts right up lol
It never goes that easy
Yet forgot all the important shit, like a jack.......
That thing is still prettier than my ex-Mother in law.
😂😂
😂😂😂👍
Facts!!!!
Same here 😂
Same here Bro
keep saving as many of them as you can. keep on keeping on dylan. 👍👍
Ohh dang this was good! Gotta go back for that Dentside F100 next to it!
I asked about it! Awaiting Crown Vic suspension.
Thecraig909 hell yea brother
Haha
Waco midway through the first half of these days I'll let you know a lot of truck's
Was that a dentside dump truck up from the camper
Love this that you saved it from the scrap heap. . And I like that your plan is to clean it up. Fix the mechanicals and keep the Patina of the life it’s known. Rump lives on!!!
I am a fan of vintage computers, and love watching restoration videos, guys rebuilding computers from the 70s and early 80s; I have no idea why RUclips suggested your channel and Junkyard Digs...but I'm glad it did. You just got a subscriber.
Fast forward 45 years and you find a 2017 anything that has been sitting for 13 years.
We won’t have a snowballs chance of getting it going again.
Bob Earley yup!
Damn RIGHT
Tons of computer wires and more rats nests that's for sure
Crazy to think about the evolution of cars and what they will be like in 40 years from now
Bob Earley Just imagine that... finding a 2018 Cummins powered titan Just sitting there in the weeds all rusty and Mossy No chance of ever running again
Good old reliable trucks not like today's cars smh
True :D
That's because back then it was a luxury to have a truck so the engineers had a different mindset
I have a 68 Chevrolet
@@morganbaron425 I've got a 1989 Silverado and I love those Camaro
@@joshuaavila8317 I love my 2000 silverado but hate the 4lsliptyE (4l60E) in it
My 1973 Toyota Pickup sat in my yard for 12 years after the brakes went out and started almost immediately and drove away with no problems. Loaded the old girl onto a flatbed and brought her to the new house. Started restoring it last year and it starts and runs flawlessly. Dad got it free as a wreck from a friend of my Grandfather's in 1989 and finished his rebuild in 1994. He only put about 17k miles on it as his work truck, so it has about 106k miles total. About 12k miles since engine and clutch rebuild. Nearly flawless mechanical condition aside from the brakes, but its absolutely horrid as far as cosmetics.
It's a 318, of course it's gonna run, most reliable V8 engine ever built
Absolutely!!
Steve Dulcich would be proud!. Also, my Uncle has a 74 D100 and it has 4 wheel drums as well.
I suppose that the Disk brakes was an option back then. I had a 73 D100 and it had front Disks on it. Should have kept that truck but it was before LMC started carrying parts for thoes old Dodges
Rebuild the wheel cylinders and life's good.
My K10 has rear drums. Didn't bother with a rebuild I just replaced them. It was extremely therapeutic to see the end result after totally new brake hardware kits and shoes.
I’m sorry 😐
That rusty pumpkin has some class....very good find :)
It's a shame people just put old trucks and cars outside like that. I'd like to fully restore that truck!
Think when it was abandoned, why would you want it back then?
Did you check the oil?
Its a dodge that why
M773 did you see Junkyard digs restoration on the 1968 Ford F-250? It was sitting for more than double the amount of time that dodge was. It was also in much worse condition and it still ended up running easily.
Dante josey dodge is better trucks easy to work on and last forever
Congrats on your new project. There's nothing like an 60s-70s chevy, ford or dodge truck. Can't wait to see what you do with it (resurrect it).
What an awesome truck! Love that old Mopar wheeze of the starter. I’m looking forward to the next video of her restoration.
Get a crew and become the Roadkill RUclips deserves... please
Tianze Li I’ll be his co roadkiller. With gladness
Tianze Li another cheap ass complaining.
In the works!
@@DylanMcCoolVideo ok sweet
No kidding!! SCREW Roadkill. We need some good down-to-earth guys to make another good “old beater” RUclips channel. Just don’t abandon us! Lol
I never considered myself a car anything, but watching you bringing these old classics back to life is very satisfying, keep up the good work :)
I did the same Thing with my 79 Chevy was off the road since 2008. Sitting in the woods for 10years. Since I first fired it up an drove it I put almost 1000 in parts in it to make it a dependable truck, I now use it to haul my truck camper and tow anything and everything with it. I love seeing old trucks brought back to life. Great video man keep it up!
Whoa !! Cool vid !! That bad boy wanted to live, it did not wanna die in that yard.
This truck has a TON of potential. These trucks are simple and reliable and I still say that the 318 is one of the best engines ever made by any manufacturer!
The 360 V8 is a better choice for a 72 Dodge D100 Because they have better revs than a 318 V8
The 318 and the 360 are both great engines,but the 340 is my choice for the best Mopar small block.I wish Chrysler would sell them in a crate engine package because vintage 340 engines are very hard to find.
David Humphrey , I wish the 340 was as popular as the 318. I've seen 340's that ran like scalded cats.
@@charger19691 ,I have a 340 in my 71 Roadrunner and it is a very strong running car.They were even more potent in the lighter Darts and Dusters.My car has gone a best time of 12.79 at 112 mph in the quarter mile on slicks.It is mostly stock with a small cam and headers.
David Humphrey , that's a strong Road Runner! I love classic Mopars,
I've been a part of this channel since 23k and I can honestly say the never get old. Keep them coming my dude we're all loyal fans here.
Love that body style Dodge.. I would daily that thing in a heartbeat with a few modernizations and repairs! Thanks for the video, totally enjoyed it !! Love my old Mopars!
Seeing the truck rise out of the weeds while airing up the tire was the best part.
Great find, clean, fix, drive! Long live 'Rump'.
Thanks for sharing your video! I'm Steve from north Florida and I'm 50 years old. I bought my 1972 Dodge 100 318 from Florida Division of Forestry....it was still the dark green body with white top half of the cab. Short wheel base regular bed. Had been MAINTAINED to say the least. I actually had the State maintenance log for the truck in my glove box. Anyway you have a gem right there no matter what you decide to do. I ended up selling mine to a young man that needed it to support his wife and new baby so the Green Dodge lives on!
I got to the point watching the video where I felt like I was right there helping you out with the truck 😆 and celebrating when the engine ran by itself. Save them all. 🙏 👍
Can't beat American made Iron ( Doug in Ga ) l had a brand new one in 1976 silver long bed 318 auto fun truck thanks for the memories
Had a white 1985 Dodge PU years back I used primarily as a track truck with a 440 6 pack in it. But I did this really cool mod to the tailgate. It had the raised DODGE across the center of it. I cut the interior side of the tailgate out in the middle so I could see the raised letters on the outer side. I then cut the highest points of the raised letters out (they were slightly tapered) and refitted the cutouts with white tinted Plexiglas using epoxy. I then took the cut out section from the inside of the tailgate and mounted a red LED light bar that was close to the width of the entire cutout to that and welded it back into place. Cleaned it all up, repainted and wired the lights to the brakes. Was a great effect as with no brakes on it basically looked just as it did before but once you hit the brakes the DODGE would light up red, it really popped.
Edit: Should you do this mod be sure to use at least 1/2 thick plexiglass and taper it to match the taper of the raised letters. It will add stability to the metal you removed from the lettering.
My first attempt I used just 3/16 inch and it was a bit flimsy. I realized it luckily on the first letter I did and got 1/2 inch which worked perfectly and was easier to fit.
all that text to see you drive a new FORD......Sorry..haha.
The fact your saving that old truck is awesome !!! Congratulations on your find !!!
I used to have a 72 custom 100, sat for 20 years and got it going and drove it for a few years, was my first truck. Mine was a long box with the little built in tool box at the bottom of the bed toward the cab. Loved that truck. Keep that truck, so very rare they are. The people holding on to mine for me scrapped it.
Another great find , I'm not a Dodge guy per say but definitely a cool truck
Shake Rattle and Roll Garage same here but it I was a dodge guy this is the one o whould get
Someone has changed the grill along the way. '72-'73 had the early grill and this is a '74-'75 grill I believe. I bought a '73 Short wide bed Power Wagon new in '73. 360. Torqueflite, Ps, Pb 3.54 Sure Grip, Adventurer package. $4,600 brand new off the lot in So Cal. Great trucks.
74 had this grille and this dash
72 had 4 slit grill.
Good to see it start and run
I Love these old trucks. Brings me back to my childhood and riding around in these old trucks everyday.
That truck sounds so good for its age
Its a 318. You have to blow the guts out of them to keep them from running. lol You need a gas powered air compressor for the back of your truck.
These are my favorite type of videos
You’ve gained another follower, this time from the UK. Great video and superb save. I love the sound of this thing. When I see classic American motors like this, which are still sound after so long sitting, I sometimes wish I was US based, rather than UK! Needless to say, if it had been sitting in the UK for that long, there’d have been nothing left...
Just started watching your videos. Love watching you bring these old Mopars back to life. Awesome job!
Awesome find Dylan, I had a 73 D-100 and it had rotors on the front. Maybe the first year had drums. I love the distinct sound a Mopar starter makes. I thought I saw some wheel wobble on the right rear when you pulled away @19:57.
Restore it
I love seeing those old dodges come back to life! I've got a 1975 w100 about the same condition as this one when I picked it up... same color as well. Swapped out the half ton axles for some out of a 78 military power wagon, put a 340 performance cam, 4bbl carb and some long tube race headers on it. It screams like a drag car now lol
Man I would love to find an old dodge like that with a 440 or a hemi.
These videos are cool saving the old rides
Ahhh ! Nice to see a new young face into Mopars! Great find! Had an old 71 power wagon i miss!
Terry Blake that a 9er I see?
Got to love a mopar! Can't kill a 318.
I've killed 2 along with there transmissions in a 2 old mud trucks lol 😎
@@OGskunkMASTA you had to run'em hard though didn't you lol.
@@chuckhawes7519 1 yes, the other was tired and the trans was slipping before we got it so we just ragged it to death. The good one was in a hole and we we're rocking it back and forth the trans went then just put it to the floor just to throw a rod lol.
many people agree the slant 6's are the most durable gas production engines ever built, got a 318 now and its pretty bulletproof too
I have 73 w 200 dodge in my garage for 13 years, 2 days ago try to start I put gas in the carburetor and it works but the gas pump doesn’t work,
That's awesome to see that old classic truck out and moving again. Great job on giving it a second chance at life! Also I love the sound of it
Love those old trucks I had a 79 power wagon stepside bed. Drove it from 97 until 2014. Dont make them like they use to. Thanks for the video.
Good to see Forest Rump running and drive itself out of the junkyard.
She’s fighting to keep going. Atta girl
My daily driver is a short bed 98 dodge ram p'up. Iyears ago I bought a 71 datsun p'up and had to pull it out of the weeds, had been sitting up 6-7 yrs. Friend helped me pull it to his place. We drained everything, put new fluids, cleaned points, took carb apart and cleaned it, never bough a kit for the carb. I drove that truck for 8 years, then one day came home from work and started taking it apart, took me little over 7 months tinkering with it, stripped it to the frame. Rebuilt everything, not one bolt left unturned, it turned out great, drove it another 4 years and sold it to buy an 82 mazde p'up cause it had. 5-speed and air-conditioner. Drove it for 8 years, gave it to my daughter when I got me a short, stepside chevy with 350. The mazda still run great with 302 thousand miles on it, never did any work to the motor, still had the factory valve cover gasket. I always tell people 'it's just nuts and bolts', I love messing with old pick-ups. My first 'car was a 61 chevy pick-up'. Paid 175$ for it, my dad drove it home for me cause I was only 15 and did not have a lisence or a learners permit. Good old memories......
I just did the same thing with my orange 76 D100 about 6 months ago, it was my Grandpa's old truck and he gave it to me. Starter fluid and jumper cables and it fired up, a battery and a fuel pump and it ran out of a gas can and a new fuel pickup and it was on the road. 6 months later I have a total of 400 into it being a daily driver. They dont make em like they used to. Btw drums on the front were from 72 to about 74 or 75. I love these...
You find the coolest rides!! In New Jersey where I'm from, that truck would've rusted into a pile of dust from sitting out in the elements that many years. You must not live in the rust states.
kman 4443 true I live in Delaware and everything rusts
cool find, my dad bought a 1981 custom d350 about 20 years ago hasnt ran since then either with i believe a 318 with a carter thermoquad in it and just the other day i put some gas in the carb and it fired right up(for a few seconds)
WOW!!! My father and i have been looking for an old Dodge stepside to fix up, and that is something right up our alley right there! Very cool man, thanx for posting!!
The exhaust sound...Awesome ! Sounds like : " what doesn"t kill you makes you stronger.." If I live in the states....Do I need a cool truck to go to work ? Go to junkyard ! :D Huge work to restore such a car but it's worth ! This exhaust sound..the shapes...I like very mouch ! :) This exhaust sound..the shapes... You brought the soul of a old machine back to life .Good work , Dylan ! Keep it up !
That engine bay could probly take like an engine three times the size of the original
Drop a 440 or 426 in there i would drive the shit out of it. Like the Lil Red Express
@@moabt.frican7163 The little red express had a hopped up 360...
wow that thing wanted live. From the moment you fired it up on starter fluid i knew it was still kicking
Love these type of videos Dylan I love seeing these old vehicles brought back to life
Amazing! Spray starting fluid and the truck runs. I've never seen that before!
Try that with a chevy. Great old dodge, thanks for saving it. My luck when it started a million bees and a couple of snakes would have been living inside.
First time viewer as I’m into trucks. To me, that would be a keeper. Love the glass packs as I always had many on my trucks...hope to see more...thx.
I enjoy watching first starts and driven from the grave videos. Thanks for keeping it real!! I had my own forest fresh 76 F100 that had sat for 10 years under the pine trees. I had it running in a few hours after towing it into the yard from the neighbors. I've got it running good and tomorrow it's getting all new exhaust installed. Some Magna Flow glass packs and chrome turn downs, that should make it go faster!!!
Love your video’s! I look forward to watching them everyday on my lunch break!
What an amazing truck, I would just clear and drive it. Thanks for sharing, great videos.
I've got a 1957 d100 stepside with the same bed. Super cool truck always wanted one!
This is the same truck, same color my dad use to have in Venezuela. He bought it brand new. The difference is the bed. Wow what a memories. That truck is priceless for me !!!
Nice running truck, great you got it going. Amazingly quick start.
I grew up in my fathers black 1980 D150 custom that looked identical. It had the slant 6, which he put over 250k on before selling it to some guy who used it as a farm truck for years. I always wanted him to make it into a lil red wagon clone, but it never happened.
Diamond in the rough it could be fixed up
I REALLY miss my 81 d100 with the 225 slant 6. Was a trooper. Come to fine out, the block had a hairline crack between 2 cylinders but it kept running. It also may have ran on only 5 cylinders at times, yet it kept going. Only had a 3spd auto but could hit 90mph. Only thing that killed it was a mechanic that left the engine in the rain, he was supposed to rebuild it with the parts I bought. I lost the truck when I bought yet another engine and hired another shop. Well they took over a year and then shit down on me and I lost the truck when they went out of business. Being out of state at the moment made it impossible to get the truck. I'm 1500 miles away. About $8k later and still no truck.
Great video, the older trucks were awesome
Great video. I've always loved this model custom dodge truck. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Most of all bring it back to life its great! Just buff it and put it to run. Nice patina!
bet you a dollar thats one of those old state of tennessee trucks , they had a bunch of them , and the color , I bet it is... and the fact it's a radio delete truck , being someone has put that antenna on the drivers side ...
Maybe, but the thing people don't realize is that these trucks had factory orange colors. Not all orange pickups were state trucks.
I watched this video and remembered my dad's 75 powerwagon. 2 days later I went and bought an orange 74 D200 extended cab long bed with a 318. It hadn't ran since summer. I threw a battery in it and drove it an hour and a half home. Love it. Metal door panels as well. I have pics but can't upload them here.
Wow, the front end grill on that truck is practically mint! Get it road worthy safe, a bed floor, and drive it for sure!!!
old mopar never dies, resurrecting one is always easier than chevs or fords because theyre so bulletproof
Uuum yeah right then explain to me this then why does mopar have shitty dash clusters that fail and junk trannys😂
I've saved 4 or 5 old chevy trucks they do pretty good. I'll take any you don't want. 350 preferred .keep the fords
Dylan, you lead a "charmed" life!!
i have a 87 subaru that was sitting since i remember (14 years), me and my friend got it to start and drive, probably one of the best day in my life, has survived the icelandic weather for to long
Great video bud. Congrats on the find and keep us posted on progress
Nice barn find do more videos about this truck. I’m going to start following you on RUclips
God bless you bro for saving that old school dodge hope to see on barrette Jackson show
I did this exact same thing with my Dad's 1971 Dodge D100 Sweptline. It sat in a field in Texas for 14 years. Points, clean carb, battery and checked fluids and I was driving it down the road that weekend. Those 318's used to be put in the BelAir taxi cabs in NYC because they were so durable. I'm a GM guy but the old dodge trucks are cool.
This is so cool. I know the real sense of accomplishment that goes along with something like this. I hope to see more videos of this.
I was thinking the Great Pumpkin....lmao
Holy shit that’s a sexy truck! You one lucky sob bro! And that WAS too easy! Lol love your content
Love the name!! Great video. You did a great job putting it together without another person!! I’m totally impressed!!
Great find buddy, always badass when you can find a gem like that in a junkyard!
