So I took some more pics of the Adventurer Sport

[NeDodgeguy]

Got around to retiming the engine as it has been pinging under heavy load for a while now. No more now :tup:

The numbers matching engine. Talked to dad about what he's replaced, and everything is original, except the alternator. Even the starter is the factory one!

Order sheet, yeah that's right it's loaded :D

Someone wanted hood emblem location pics, hard to look at isn't it? :VHOT:

The extent of the rust, remember, this is all original and never touched besides one wheel well.

Yeah that's the wrong hubcap... supposed to be silver in the center. He needs to get those ghey tires off of it. They are too small for me.

The Bed
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c44/pcross_53/Trucks/NikonPhotos138.jpg

Yes, it needs the seat recovered, and the factory AM radio is AWOL in our attic. Had a nice CD player in it.

Door panel, you would think it would have white panels with white paint on the outside.

Headliner, again original

Crack free dash

Yes, it is not perfect but it is still hard to believe that it has remained untouched for all these years. Good maintenance, regular washes and waxes, and one owner can make a vehicle last a very very long time. Kind of seems like society has forgotten that these days.

And when he bought this truck, it's sticker price was more than a Hemicuda the year before :whackit:

Nice truck !! When I learn how to post pics, I let you see my 76 D200 Club Cab adventure sport truck.

Just upload them from your computer and then just copy the links from photobucket, then post the link in a thread.

Man, I wished my 'Under the Hood' looked that clean....

That is VERY nice for bone-stock-never-did-nuthin'-but-clean-it-now-and-then....

You've got yourself a real 'keeper' there m'man! :D

[Speed Dragon]

Damn, I wish mine was half as nice as that :( Super sweet truck, dude.

[NeDodgeguy]

Thanks guys, I still don't know how it never rusted out. It's lived in Nebraska all it's life.

I guess the old Rally Red 73 Satellite Sebring gave her life and was the DD during the winter. I remember watching the road go by below between the rear seat and door panel when I would sit in it.

Former student bought it from dad and restored it into a RR. Original motor in that thing too... with over 200k on it. AND here's the kicker, it was in a flood sometime down south before dad bought it. Haha :rck:

[HeadlandRam]

nice ole 73 there

[NeDodgeguy]

It's a 72 :grum:

[HeadlandRam]

sorry dude "Nice ole 72 there"

[62savoywagon]

NeDodgeguy, this deal worked for me. This truck is almost original from the factory. Only the wheels are fairly new

[NeDodgeguy]

Hey and your missing two hood letters! Welcome to the club!

[62savoywagon]

Yes, I am, but got lucky and found in a really old truck those two letters. As far as I beenable to find out either I am the 3 or 4th owner of her. More pics this weekend.

Seats are original and floors were redone 20 years ago. Going to take time but I do enjoy driving her down the road.
