Carb linkage froze up (with actual ice) going into New Mexico, put some Heat in it, no further issues. Went through Flagstaff in a blizzard, I was the only truck around. The truck just handled it. 318's are so underrated..

    Just a little more than 40 years ago (early '80s) I had the piviledge of driving a very similar D100, non step-side, 3 speed clutch in a faded yellow dressing.
    There was a specific way to cold start this cold blooded D100, I don't recall today how exactly to be assured of a first time crank start but I do remember most often you'd start rolling in second gear.
    Only using the 'granny' 1st gear for a start on an incline.
    This is an awesome truck for you to have on your property, so glad to see it is getting used and ran after such a long hiatus at slumberville.

    For many years I drove a '79 D100 long bed swept-side, with a 225 Slant 6, and 3-on-the-tree. My dad ordered that truck brand new in 1979, with that engine and transmission. He had owned a number of those late 40's and early 50's Chevy and GMC trucks with roughly the same size motor and trannsmission, and he liked the way they drove. That Dodge was underpowered, but it had tremendous torque. I once towed a heavy trailer with it from Hastings, Nebraska to Flagstaff, Arizona. That Slant 6 had no problem towing the trailer. At 40 MPH. After my dad died I drove that truck all the way through college and law school. I was still driving it after I started my law practice. By then, though, it sat most of the time on the street in front of my house in Phoenix. One day, a friend told me his dad had suffered a stroke and needed a project to keep him busy. With no hesitation at all I sold my friend that Dodge for $50. For years afterward, every time I ran into that fellow, he would tell me how his dad got up every morning, had his coffee, and went out to the garage, where he spent the day tinkering with that old Dodge truck. I always thought, wherever my dad was at, he was smilimg.

    I love 318's. They may be little, but they're some tough engines and pretty well bulletproof. Pappy bought Dodge Charger new in '71 and drove it from West Tennessee to Louisville, KY actually trying to blow it up and couldn't do it. We kept it until 1984 and sold it 6 months before I got my driver's license...I was crushed and have wanted one ever since...with the 318 :)

    This one would make a good resto series, given how rare the long flareside bed is...and how far gone it is. New clutch, new rockers/cab corners/floors, new bed, and restore the rest to original yellow Local Authority condition with a mechanical amber beacon on the roof. Just an idea 🙂 Love your vids, they brighten many a dull day. Thank you!

    Hey Dylan! Here's some winter driving tips from a Canadian 2wd pickup truck driver. First of course would be tires; althought I don't think your part of the world should necessitate dedicated snow tires, tire chains would have been the ticket for what you where doing. Number 2, weight in the bed over the axle, around 300 to 500 lbs (I put about 300lbs in my 1998 2wd Ranger) that way you get more pounds per square inch of contact patch, helping traction. Third, high wheel speed is your enemy; spinning tires melt the ice and snow and make your crappy tires even more slippery! I usually give it just enough gas to prevent the engine from stalling, giving the tire some time to bite in the ground and get traction. And last, for anyone who wants to daily a 2wd pickup yearly including proper snowy conditions, a LSD is the only way to go! Never again will I drive a 2wd open diff truck in the winter now that I've seen the difference! Looking forward to seeing more of this truck, cheers!!!

    My best friend of decades had a 79 D100 4x4 with 3/4 ton suspension and 360, we had so much fun with that, and it handled the western South Dakota winters like a champ... Only issue was it needing an engine rebuild every 80-100K miles. He later picked up a 78 ext cab 4x4 with 318 and 4 speed, and that thing was a trash heap, was almost useless in the winter.

    DYLAN,
    To help your slick tires in the mud, hang snow chains on them.
    That's what old time loggers used to do.
    You need to pull those trees down. Use a long chain or strap &
    connect to the tree as high up as you can reach. this will
    give you leverage. Then, Tug on the chain in easy short pulls of bumps.
    The tree will come down little by little stump & all. Remember you have
    to snap the roots.
    !
