1970 Dodge D-300

[j-miller]

Here's my 1970 Dodge D-300 truck I got just last year. It has a 318 in it,4 speed transmission and the rear axle has 5.86 gears in it. It was a dump truck at one time but i'll be putting a flatbed with side boards on it. It needs a bunch of cab work done like floorpans,rockers panels and were the door hinges mount on the cab are rusted out. It's one of the trucks I play around with at home on my spare time.

Oh yeah,it's going to stay as a dually. I do love my dually's for some unknown reason.

Does it really have 5.86 gears? WOW! LOL. That's LOW!

Your loaded with projects haha. Now you can tow a demon with you.

Yeah,as far as I know,that's what the data plate says anyway. Whether or not it was changed out,I don't know.

I hear you Eddie,but the gas mileage would suck.

Good looking old truck...what are the plans for the back of it....pickup type bed or flatbed?

 

[j-miller]

Going to get a flatbed on it and add wooden sideboards.

Do they even have pickup beds for anything that big?

Great Truck J-miller I did a 71 1/2 tun flat bed back in 1985 and custom built rear fenders under the bed like a motorcycle front fender and looks and worked great. I wish I had pictures for you. Congratulations on a fun build

Take two beds and stretch one using material from the other...I think it would look crazy good

 

[j-miller]

Actually the truck is only a 133 inch wheelbase....so it's short. My 1995 ram 3500 standard cab is longer than it is.

That is a cool one! I got me a gold one just like it! Where are you located? We could trade information. I know of one in a junk yard. I got the doors and if I remember there were other good parts. I am in Central PA.
