Hello all.
It is Dodge D100 stepside truck and it is red, but not the LRE.
My name is JP and I am from Finland. I have somewhat grown myself an
addiction to Mopars. Currently my fleet is '67 Plymouth Sport Fury
convertible, '71 Plymouth Duster, '84 Dodge Ram B250 and as the latest
the '79 Dodge D100.
I bought the D100 a couple of weeks ago from California and now waiting for
it to be shipped. It should be pretty rust free californian car, 318 4bbl engine,
727 tranny and 9 1/4 rear. It is in driveable condition, at least the seller has
driven short distances with it recently. Brakes are working. The wood bed
has rotten away and it has some temporary solution for that. Thermoquad
requires repair kit, it does not start cold without adding gas directly.
My plan is to keep as it is, nicely aged and patina. Might even consider
making it daily driver, depends a bit how well I can get it rust proofed. And
I've already learned a punch of stuff here on the site about problematic areas
e.g. the ammeter seems to be even bigger problem with these than it was in
earlier mopars.
I actually bought it for my wife as a birthday present, she once said
that if she would have this kind of truck, she would always go to the local
grocery store with it and put the groceries on the bed
The birthday is on the 10th of March and if everything goes well, the car is just before that in Finland. Let's wait and see.
Some pictures that I've got from the seller.
