Scrapping a 1964 Dodge D-200 LWB

3/4 ton LWB, 318 A-block (Poly) 4 speed. Heavy duty rear axle.8 lug wheels. Original red paint. Quad headlights. Runs. A bit battered and tattered but a neat old truck. Does anyone want anything off this before I knock it on the head and send it to the shredder? I hate to do it but can't keep it. It's sad but true, scrap prices are high and no one wants to pay anything for the truck.

If there is any interest I can delay the grim deed for a few days. Otherwise it has to go.

 

Sad but true. I know some guys on truck forums are all pissed off because the junkyards are sending the 60s-70s trucks to the crushers in alarming rates but the truth is those trucks would set for years waiting for nickel and dime scavengers to buy that many $$ in parts off most of them. Head em up and move em out.

 

I would be interested in the gauge panel and gauges if you still have them.

 

I do. I'll check the condition today.

 

We just painted one of those, and it looks awesome.
This one is a D-200 4x4, 318 4 speed.
We painted it black.

I could get a pic although its still in pieces.

I'm surprise we don't see more of these.
They really look good fixed up.

 

Thanks, Let me know. At least we may save something of the ol' girl........

 

A little local yard has set one back from the crusher that is a one ton 4x4. Somewhere in the 60s I suppose, pretty turquoise with black fake vinyle top.

 

Yeah.... would love to have a D100 of that same vintage-- somehow would make the perfect TIKI truck.

 

Budro,

You have mail.

 

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe the flywheel and bellhousing will fit an early hemi. If so, that is DEFINATELY worth saving!

 

Benzine, U dew 2

 

If it runs I would think it's at least worth pulling the engine and tranny to keep for a project.

 

Yes it runs. Forged crank and rods. 200 HP with 2 barrel.
