This the first picture I ever took of my truck after it was declared mine.
She's a 1973 Dodge D200 that belonged to my great-grandad, initally, then my grandad bought her in 1987.
In August of 2004, I went to help my grandparents do some landscaping, and, in return, they gave me the first vehicle I've ever called my own...this baby!!
This is a picture of my grandad loading up my truck onto his flatbed. We hauled it with his 1997 Dodge ext. cab, with a 5.2L 318, and a manual 5 speed transmission, which is now mine.
This is a picture of it shortly after we brought it home...
I took off the camper shell, waiting to restore that.
Future modifications include:
Headers with J-pipe dual exhaust
Cherrybomb mufflers
Paint the engine original blue color
Crane TRUCK! Cam
K&N air filter
Holley 4-barrel carbuerator, more for the
increased fuel mileage (does that sound idiotic to you?)
An Edelbrock single-plane intake
Double-roller timing chain
A MOPAR Ignition Conversion kit with Mopar coil & box
Optima Blue Top battery
Diamondplate bed edge
Rhinoliner or Utility Liner
A REALLY BIG toolbox for the bed
CB antennas that I'll mount above the rearview mirrors on the doors.
She also needs to be reupolstered, and the floor carpet needs replacing.
I also have plans for a nice brushguard I'll build myself, and WARN 18,000 lb. winch
Two KC Halogen floodlights for the brushguard, four for the headache rack that I have on there already.
Goodrich M/T 16.5" tires
American Racing Ouwlaw II rims...?
I'm going to repaint the whole thing original red/white
But first, I need some dings and dents repaired.
Anyone got some bondo?
Dual CB antennas
2 1/2" Sunpro TACH
A gauge from JC Whitney that measures the carb.'s fuel/air ratio
A gauge from JC Whitney that moniters miles per gallon.
Neat, huh?
If necessary, I'll rebuild the engine with:
Flat Top Sil-Vo-Lite pistons (Forged, preferably)
Total Seal rings
Eagle rods
and a MOPAR steel crank if necessary
Manton pushrods
I'll rebuild the heads with MOPAR stuff
Here's some more pics of it at my grandparents...
