I just recently traded my father for a 74’ D100 club cab, Adverturer with a 360 under the hood that was overhauled 40k miles ago. Brand new automatic transmission with maybe 600 miles mostly original with the addition of disc brakes in the front stepside bed, four barrel carburetor, and aftermarket heads with barely and exhaust. Just need to add the MSD box, and a custom gas tank that mounts under the rear axle. I love these trucks too and mine with be with me for life.
Nice truck man, like suspension 💡 the newer wheel set up. Just got me an 85 d150 2wd 318. Looking to slightly restomod it but keep it mostly original apart from wheels, suspension dynamics and a few other additions.
First of all I want to say thank you very much for watching the video and your comments really upset the channel. Yes the truck has over 300K. I think the actual mileage is like 360,000 mi on it or more and however, now the engine is while it still runs pretty well. It does consume some oil and that's only getting worse as time goes on the more I drive it but also two I've noticed the more I drive it the slower and the slower it gets. So it's not as much fun to drive as it used to be used to be a lot funner to drive. But I've got something in the works that's going to correct all of those problems and make the truck a lot funner to drive. I'll give you a hint just go look at the all the videos I did on the 360 build and you will see you'll catch on all right. Thank you again have any questions feel free to ask
Hey there, first of all thank you very much for watching the video and thank you for your comments. No, my lower control arms on my truck are not boxed but I would like to offer you something. I'd like to make a video about this and put it out there explaining a lot of this a whole lot better than what I can in the comments. Okay, thank you very much and have any further questions feel free to ask. God bless
First of all, I want to say thank you very much for watching the video and thank you for your comments. To answer your question very briefly, yes, all of these items will apply to the 3/4 and 1 ton Dodge trucks d250 and d350 now. However, I'm referring to the two-wheel drive whenever somebody says d150 d250d350 that's two-wheel drive now if we're talking four-wheel drive a lot of these same tricks work, but you have to keep in mind four-wheel drive. You got a solid axle up front so some of these ideas won't work or some of these ideas. You may not be applying to your vehicle like the sway bar however, a lot of Dodge trucks are a four-wheel drive. Came with a front sway bar but not all of them. Also, something else to keep in mind is that most likely and why I'm saying most likely is I don't have a 1-ton Dodge here to measure from. As far as the frame rail height, the half ton the frame rail is going to be not as tall. The 3/4 ton and wontons are going to be taller most likely so that will mean that those braces in the front that run from The cross member that runs underneath the radiator to the frame rails in front of the engine cross member. Those braces that I showed in the video. They will probably have to be shorter now. However, do keep in mind that I will be redoing this video. I'm not entirely happy with it. I think the videography could be a little bit better and the camera I was using was filming it backwards. So all of the images and video is flipped. That's why it looks like I have a right hand drive truck when I don't. And also too I will be making a video about making these braces so that's coming up pretty soon as well. All right? Thank you very much for watching and if you have any further questions feel free to ask
The best mods for first gen 4x4s is an earlier model reverse rotation steering gearbox. Eliminates bump steer and is a must for lifted trucks with bigger tires. Durango mini starter motor is great too, turns over faster , saves weight and has more room if you're running headers. Ive grabbed several for 15 bucks at the wrecking yard. They bolt right up with no mods both big and small blocks.
Thank you for watching the video and thank you for your comments. Yeah, this video was centered around the two-wheel drive trucks and while there is some of these modifications, we'll work on either two or four-wheel drive the reverse rotation steering gear box. I've never even heard of that but there again I don't do a whole lot with four-wheel drives but sounds cool anyway. And the mini starters. Yeah that's always a great idea. You got to be careful though with some of them that that rounded piece on the nose of the starter that goes into the bell housing. Some of those are different sizes and they won't work with your bell housing. So just something to be careful about. But yes, the mini Mopar mini starter is a great idea and they are proven and saves about 7 lb
Awesome video man! Just bought a 76 D200 forestry truck that was sitting in a garage since 93, no rust and perfect interior. Ready to get it driving better.
Sounds great! I'd love to see pictures of it sometime if you can get the chance. Me and the d200 and a forestry truck is kind of unusual. Usually forestry services usually by the four-wheel drive trucks which are w200. But either way but still it's still going to be a cool truck and if there's anything else I can help you with on that questions or anything like that, let me know
@@slantfish65sd Would actually really appreciate it as we are new to Dodges. If there is an email I can reach you or some form of contact, I can send some photos and some questions.
What's wrong with your factory fuel tank? Is it missing or is it just damaged? Or I don't know of any aftermarket fuel tanks for '70s Dodge trucks. But I will tell you this all of them that I've ever seen from the '70s from like say about 74 onward. Almost all of them are plastic and they're under the bed. I'm thinking 1974 they went and they put the fuel tank under the bed. I could be wrong on that year. It may be a little bit later. Maybe 75 or 76 but I'm thinking 74 was when they went to the fuel tank under the bed and got it out of the cab. That being said, their fuel tanks are usually plastic and they're usually pretty durable, but I don't know of any aftermarket ones. Let me know what's happened to yours. I might be able to come up with a fuel tank for you maybe?
@@slantfish65sd I have a '74 D100 Custom stepside that has a metal tank behind the seats in the cab as well as a plastic tank below the bed. The truck has been in the family since 1976. Getting ready to drop in a mild 360 w/4spd auto with od. BTW. Mopar made a brace for the steering box. Direct Connection had some repop I bought several yrs ago. Good Luck
On my 87 I have steering wander from one side of the road to the other and I was wondering about your frame braces did you custom make them or are they from a doner truck ? Rodney from Jamestown Tn
I custom made my frame braces just some flat steel bar stock but be sure to check your steering linkage tie rod ends idler arms center link pitman arms and be sure to check pot coupler on the steering shaft and the ball joints and control arm bushings
I came here cause there's a guy wanting to trade me his 1991 d250 with 318 engine with 83k original miles nice truck . He wants my 2009 Scion xb would y'all do it? Idk what it's worth but I know I paid $3500 for the Scion
Yes, I would definitely do it. Here are some things to look for. Chris, of course you know the usual make sure it starts up. Runs drives stop starts all of that you know with little to no issue that being a 91 it's going to have the throttle body fuel injection unless somebody has changed things on it. But it is definitely worth the money. Those sort of trucks are going for about that kind of money. Some more some less really some of the prices are really just all over the place. One thing to really keep in mind though is that those trucks do use a 16-in wheel from the factory so and it's 8 lug so make sure that the tires are in good shape, The only thing I can think of that would be something to that is characteristic of those trucks if it has the interior pieces that surround the headliner. If it has a headliner and it has those interior pieces that surround the headliner and goes down and trims out the around the windows, those plastic pieces are insanely brittle. They will break very, very easy. Just insane how easy they'll break so if those are all in good shape then you know another plus if yours doesn't have them and some trucks didn't usually like the SEs or you know or what used to be known as the prospect or package those you those usually have those interior trim pieces by 91. I think they were trying to put that on a lot of the Dodge trucks be sure to also check out the steering pot coupler if it has a lot of slop in it, you'll have a lot of basically a lot of swamp in your steering. They do make kids to rebuild those and they're not hard to rebuild. There's not much to them but just something to be aware of. Also, be sure to look for any kind of cracks around the steering gear box where it attaches to the frame also my videos I have showcased the braces that I've made that keeps that frame from twisting and moving around when the steering gearbox is turned. So if you have any further questions feel free to contact me I can be reached here on my RUclips channel or you can message me on email. slantfish65sd@gmail.com
I love the W/D 200 trucks! Since I was a little boy I wanted one, now Im old enough Im looking around! Found one pretty original as far as I can see. Im not a technician at all. Working on the truck isnt for me, just riding it. But I'll get a Haynes workbook to learn.
the truck is lefthand drive when my phones camera is flipped from the lens to the screen it would flip the image or in this case video and create the look that is very convincing and makes it look like a vehicle could right hand drive which it isn't but I live just outside Knoxville TN
I not sure what year it came off of I think it was an 87 but any Dodge D series truck front sway bar should be a bolt on and go deal just remember to get all of the hardware; brackets and the sway bar links
No, I haven't. Not yet. But that's just something you know when you got the head off or before you put a head on it might be something anybody should consider doing course. You know a lot of folks. They won't do it. They won't use antifreeze to save their lives and they'll use straight water and then they cry about oh, why is the freeze plugs come out you know or why is it freeze plugs rusted out? But of course, as usual, I really thank you for watching the video. Have a great day!
So I get that a poly bush kit and decent tyres have made the truck much better, however, if someone came removed your bit of loose biscuit tin in the night would you notice?
Can you possibly send me a picture of this dome your taking about ? The only thing I can think of on your truck that you are calling a dome is seat mounting pedestal
Thank you very much that air cleaner assembly is just a mildly modified stock unit that came on the truck I modified it to use a K and N air filter and also to have dual snorkel air inlet tubes
Okay, thank you very much for watching. I very much appreciate you your question of what snow plows will fit your ram charger. You're not really giving me much information about your ramcharger and honestly, I'm not really the best person to answer that question. Your best bet is going to be somebody who lives in a more northerly climate. I live in East Tennessee and we just don't get much in the way of very bad winter weather. Honestly we can go an entire winter and get maybe 6 in total. Accumulation so it's pretty rare. It's a really really rare to see somebody with a plow mounted to any truck regardless, so I do apologize I can't really answer your question. This sounds like more of a question that needs to be answered by either somebody who lives in a more northerly climate or probably doing hey Google or Bing search and see what comes up. Maybe even talk to some snow plow manufacturers and see what they have. I mean I can recommend that if you do use a snow plow. Make sure that your front suspension is up to par. It's up to snuff. There's no like weak springs or anything like that or anything that's cracked, worn out or broken. And also make sure and get a plow that fits your vehicle specifically. I hope this helps. Again, sorry I can't really answer your question but I just don't live where we use snow plows. We just never get that much in the way of snow. Even if we get 6 in of snow in a year or 80 inches or whatever. It usually is gone within a day. Maybe two melt away
Yes, you are correct. The doors will interchange interchangeability of parts on these d series and w series trucks from 81 to 93 is really good and just make sure you get your lines all lined up. Make sure everything is is correct and get your gaps correct. You should be okay and I would like to say also thank you so much for watching the video and thank you so much for the comments. Have a great day. Any further questions feel free to ask
Thank you for getting back to me I starting a project with my daddy's old truck a 1983 dodge D150 custom short wheel base but finding a shortage of parts but now sense I can use later model parts this is great so Thanks for the info
Sorry for the late reply btw , 1987 5.2 318 auto trans When i bought i found out it sat for some years , it drove fine the first day , then would stall out . Encountered no start like what ive heard for these trucks when they sat for a while and had a mechanic change the starter , it then cranked up fine while driving home again , right after getting gas it stalled out at the light . Brought it to a shop and they thought that might be either the starter relay , so that was replaced . then i encountered the "crank but no start" , so they put on a new distributor , and a new coil . still no change . I since then pulled it from the shop or shops in general as when i got it moved to another that could check it they seemingly held it for a week or 2 before asking me if I would sale it (that happened twice in a row) Ended up dropping the tank and found nothing wrong with gas delivery(changed the pump as well). Have changed the spark plugs due to the others looking worn . I see that it could have something to do with the ballast resistor , that sits next to the coil , but some forums says the 87 with a computer doesnt have a ballast resistor . Hope this helps
Unfortunately it is a left hand drive truck. It is not right. Hand drive The camera. Whenever you flip from one screen to another it will reverse the image. So it makes something that is on the left hand side. Look like it's on the right hand side and vice versa sometimes. So my that was with my old camera. My new camera doesn't switch from screen to screen so that won't be a problem going forward in the future. However, I will say that it is very handy to be able to switch from screen to know from not screen to screen but from camera to camera. Sorry anyway thanks for watching. Have a great day
Really interested in your frame braces, but couldn’t see enough from the video to duplicate them. Please consider going into a little more detail. Maybe making another set, for another truck, and videoing the process. Thanks and take care.
Hello Carl, first of all I'm going to say thank you very much for watching the videos and thank you for your comments. Really appreciate them. As for the braces that are in the front or the frame of my d150, I will make a video about that showing a little more detail about them and show him how to do it. It's really, really simple. They're not very hard to do. Probably what I'm going to do is just show the braces in greater detail and talk more about how to do that at home with just like a drill and a grinder and maybe a hacksaw or an angle grinder with a cut off wheel and I may do a video series showing how to do that. I will be working on an 83 d1150 and getting it going and getting it on the drag strip. So I thank you very much and if you have any further questions feel free to ask
The dash is different and the body design is different the wiring is different the front end is different the grill is different so there is a different and there's a lot of difference between the 1980 and 1981 and up just like there is in the ramcharger
Mmmmm let's get this straight you haven't been paying attention to the video evidently because I said in the video that there are changes in these trucks from year to year but that these modifications do work but it's clear that your just a crying whiney bitching hater that has a real problem with people who go ahead and do things and are successful I would say if you don't like the video then go ahead and make your own but so far you haven't you have been on RUclips 9 years and so far nothing no videos and no subscribers also the joke is on you every time you comment on a video it actually helps that video get seen by more viewers whether it's a good or bad comment so have a good day

What was the year and model of the sway bar donor vehicle?
I not sure what year it came off of I think it was an 87 but any Dodge D series truck front sway bar should be a bolt on and go deal just remember to get all of the hardware; brackets and the sway bar links

Have you had to change out any expansion plugs on the rear side of head on a 318 without pulling engine ?
No, I haven't. Not yet. But that's just something you know when you got the head off or before you put a head on it might be something anybody should consider doing course. You know a lot of folks.

Where would be a good place to get some new full bed fenders and the shroud that goes around the tailights on a 1978 w150?
I would check with LMC truck? that is all I can think of right now
Also mill supply and google search shop around

Thank you very much for your time and your kind words and your subscription and just trying to help everybody who owns one of these trucks
I have one that all of a sudden wont turn over to save its life
Be sure to check your basics honestly there is a lot of information on this subject I will be making a video about it soon
If you could give me more information about your vehicle
@@slantfish65sd Ill be on the look out
Sorry for the late reply btw , 1987 5.2 318 auto trans
When i bought i found out it sat for some years , it drove fine the first day , then would stall out . Encountered no start like what ive heard for these trucks when they sat for a while and had a mechanic change the starter , it then cranked up fine while driving home again , right after getting gas it stalled out at the light .
Brought it to a shop and they thought that might be either the starter relay , so that was replaced . then i encountered the "crank but no start" , so they put on a new distributor , and a new coil . still no change .
I since then pulled it from the shop or shops in general as when i got it moved to another that could check it they seemingly held it for a week or 2 before asking me if I would sale it (that happened twice in a row) Ended up dropping the tank and found nothing wrong with gas delivery(changed the pump as well). Have changed the spark plugs due to the others looking worn .
I see that it could have something to do with the ballast resistor , that sits next to the coil , but some forums says the 87 with a computer doesnt have a ballast resistor .
Hope this helps
I need to dm you for personal advice on one

That’s so cool that’sa right hand drive!
Unfortunately it is a left hand drive truck. It is not right. Hand drive The camera. Whenever you flip from one screen to another it will reverse the image. So it makes something that is on the left hand side. Look like it's on the right hand side and vice versa sometimes. So my that was with my old camera. My new camera doesn't switch from screen to screen so that won't be a problem going forward in the future. However, I will say that it is very handy to be able to switch from screen to know from not screen to screen but from camera to camera. Sorry anyway thanks for watching. Have a great day
Really interested in your frame braces, but couldn’t see enough from the video to duplicate them. Please consider going into a little more detail. Maybe making another set, for another truck, and videoing the process. Thanks and take care.
Hello Carl, first of all I'm going to say thank you very much for watching the videos and thank you for your comments. Really appreciate them. As for the braces that are in the front or the frame of my d150, I will make a video about that showing a little more detail about them and show him how to do it. It's really, really simple. They're not very hard to do. Probably what I'm going to do is just show the braces in greater detail and talk more about how to do that at home with just like a drill and a grinder and maybe a hacksaw or an angle grinder with a cut off wheel and I may do a video series showing how to do that. I will be working on an 83 d1150 and getting it going and getting it on the drag strip. So I thank you very much and if you have any further questions feel free to ask
The dash is different and the body design is different the wiring is different the front end is different the grill is different so there is a different and there's a lot of difference between the 1980 and 1981 and up just like there is in the ramcharger
Mmmmm let's get this straight you haven't been paying attention to the video evidently because I said in the video that there are changes in these trucks from year to year but that these modifications do work but it's clear that your just a crying whiney bitching hater that has a real problem with people who go ahead and do things and are successful I would say if you don't like the video then go ahead and make your own but so far you haven't you have been on RUclips 9 years and so far nothing no videos and no subscribers also the joke is on you every time you comment on a video it actually helps that video get seen by more viewers whether it's a good or bad comment so have a good day
