    1968 Dodge D100
    « on: August 11, 2009 - 07:07:40 AM »
    I thought I'd share some updated pictures of my truck. Its work in progress, and it won't receive a full paint job or anything for a few years. I'm basically going to go over it and repair all of the sheet metal rust areas. Recently I've had a few demons plaguing me but it looks like its mostly worked out. I rebuilt the carb, replaced the timing set, water pump, alternator, voltage regulator, belt, brakes, clutch slave and master, and painted the motor.

    I have some goodies i scored at shows that I'll wait to put on as I make progress.

    Those doors were for "saddle" gas tanks. They were facory on some trucks I think, these were probably dealer installed. Whenever I get around to it, I'm doing away with them.

    I was wondering if any more progress had been done on your Mom's Barracuda buddy :bigsmile:

    What is the factory name of the color on your truck ?

    Say Hi to your folks for me next time you are talking with them please :wave:

    That is a great truck.  :thumbsup: I drove my grandfather's '67 D100 after his passing and it was a great truck. It only had a slant but it did what ever I needed. It was totalled by a Ford Explorer that slamed on her brakes in a heavy rain and I slid right into her. My bumper slid under her bumper  :swear: and did more damage than I could afford to fix at the time. However, good luck and enjoy!!!  :2thumbs:



    It did lead me to my first muscle car   '71 Cuda.   :droolingbounce:
