well i own a 1977 dodge w200 m880 former military truck. im a huge mopar fan. mopar or no car. i bought the truck for $600 off someone that lives around me. i bought it for a first truck cause i had just turned 15 and needed something to fix up and drive for when i turn 16. my whole family is big into dodge. my dad has had many dodge pickups. so i found this truck and just had to have it. i bought the truck thinkin it was just truck someone painted camo. well when i got it home i found out it was a m880 which actually is a 1-1/4 ton truck my dad and me had just thought it was a 3/4. it has all the mitilart things still in in that im plain on takin out. the truck only has 67,000 miles on it. it has 318 in it which runs graet. the truck is in awesome shape for how old it is. im hopin to put a 4 inch lift and 35 or 37 inch tires on it. im hopin to paint it hemi orange or plume crazy purple. i hope i have it done by the time i get my linsence. well hope you like it here is some pics of what i have done so far.
pic from the day i brought her home
during the winter

the frame almost done just got to do the rear end
sandin off the camo and gettin the primer on

rear of the truck
my truck with my dads 35s on it
with the wimpy stocks on
picked up these 16x12" white wagon wheels and 33x12.5" mud brutes off ebay for $200
with the 33"s on they fill out the truck pretty good
my truck and my dads cummins
i got a grille off ebay for $100 and picked up the mirrors from a junk yard
yeah thats what it looks like as of now, its far from done but thats what she will look like till i start makin money again. i think it looks good for bein over 30 years old and a 16 year olds first truck lol. but thats just me. i got it on the road finally. shes not that great on gas but i dont care. how many people do you see drivin an over 30 year old truck as a first truck?
this winter i put a bumper on it cause of the cops lol
i blew the rear end in it at the beginin of spring
i got a new rear from a junk yard for $150 bucks it was the only rear i could find for my truck in nepa
i resanded the whole truck and there was no red primer so i used black primer i think it looks pretty good im hopefully going to paint soon
so i finally got my brand new pro comp mud terrains =] i got 4 for $675 down in bloomsburg at the 4 wheel jamboree
yeah so when i hit bumps and turned sharp like in parking lots my new 35s would rub, so i bought 2 inch helper springs from summit for around $80 and it did help quite a bit they dont rub and the truck sits higher in the front =]
