Now what you all been waiting for:
notice the three batteries.
I was quite surprised to discover a LA-360 instead of a LA-318 engine - which is what the truck should have. The Guy I bought it off told me it was a 360 - but i didnt believe him until i did some reasearch. It turns out that the engine was made in 1971 - the very first of that engine - and apparently that engine year was practically the best year for the engine becuase in the years right after 71, HP went from 255 to like 175.
driver seat - check out the rear-view mirror on the hood.
The truck has power steering and id say it handles pretty decent for such an old, HUGE truck. I hear that power-steering is really hard to fine on sweptline dodge trucks like this and that im lucky to have it. It explains all of this here: Sweptline Dodge The truck also came stock with a hydraulic clutch.
