New truck

[moparkrazed]

Hey guys, just joined. Purchased a 1974 d100 club cab adventurer ,318 with 8 3/4 rear end. Originally yellow and white. I didn't really need another project but couldn't pass this one up. It runs but needs brakes. I have some welding I'll need to do,o hoping to knock it out soon. My other projects are a 1971 charger, 1973 charger se, 1966 valiant, and a 1975 dart that's "finished" for now haha. I do need a tailgate for the truck and the bed trim on both sides. Anyone know of a good place to start looking those items?

The 75 dodge dart was the first car I ever did body and paint work on, I fixed most of it when I went to school for auto body and street rod and customizing. The 71 Charger I found in the woods, it had been sitting there since 1984, so there is a ton of work to do on it (I'll post pics of when I found it). The 73 charger SE I purchased a few months ago when my wife talked me into buying it b/c it was a good deal and not that far of a drive. I just put a 360 in it and should be getting really close to a test fire on it. The 66 valiant was my uncles, my aunt and cousins gave it to me to finish for my uncle after he passed. The truck I just bought a couple of weeks ago and hoping to have it up and going soon. There are a few gremlins I need to sort out before it hits the road, like the fan motor sounding like its about to hop off the truck when spinning and then it cutting out altogether and windshield wipers not even attempting to work. I also want to take the heater box apart and get the rat nest out of there before I burn the truck down using the heat.

This is where I found the 71 charger. Not a bad deal for $500. Bought it from an old man in the next town over. He has all kinds of stuff out there, only down side is all of it has been sitting forever and rotting out in the mud and pine straw.
