I am finally giving up on this project I have had for at least a decade. Last week during a windstorm the passenger rear door window was shattered. 1978 Dodge D300 crew cab dually called "big dog"! It was an Indy 500 car hauler originally and was a good driver until I parked it about 9 years ago, still run and drove but needed an accelerator pump and a power steering pump. The cab is rusty, so I bought a 77 D200 crew cab longbox for the nice cab, removed it and started body work. I still have the rolling chassis that I was going to restore then use the 1-ton suspension off the dually to make it easier as the restoration progressed. I bought another 77 D200 club cab for the bucket seats and other parts, even the same colors! The dually has a 400 2-bbl 727 automatic and 4.10 Dana which was just rebuilt before I bought the truck. I may try to fire it up in the next few weeks, I am sure it will still run. I then bought a 92 Cummins truck for the core support if I decided to change it over after doing the bodywork. All four trucks, or any parts wanted will go with the dually for $2500. Call Jim at 224-688-4352 or email rhinodart@sbcglobal.net and I will take any pics needed. Here is a picture taken when I brought it home late last year.
