1974 Dodge D100 old shop truck with awesome patina Well, here is a Dodge D100 shop truck for sale. It’s so ugly that it’s beautiful. It really has that patina that people seem to be looking for in a shop truck or rat-rod. She is a reliable driver – just bump the key and go. She gets a lot of attention – if you want stealthy, this isn’t for you. The truck runs and drives well with its 225 slant six engine and automatic trans. The brakes are power assisted front disc and rear drums and I would not hesitate to fire it up and drive it around the local community here. I drive it to and from the auto parts store and other local errands. Be aware that the tires are getting old and I am seeing cracks, so before any substantial journey, it really should be tended to. The set of 4 Cragar SS wheels are straight and have a matching patina. Note also that the windshield is starting to fog, so that should be in your plans. It has new brake lines and I just installed a new master cylinder after the pictures. The dash gauges (fuel and DC ammeter) work and the previous owner added a 3-way gauge setup under the dash including oil pressure, water temp and volts – and these work well, too. The truck runs cool and constant temp and oil pressure. The dash is in ugly shape and there is no radio and the seat is covered with a simple cover since the original seat upholstery is falling apart – perfect. The horn button is a replacement and is mounted on the lower dash area – and yes, it works. Technically, she could use some attention. The frame rails are in good shape – could use a wire brush, and it should get floor pans on both sides. I have 2 pieces of sheetmetal in the floors now and I have seen the replacement panels as cheap as $34 here on ebay. I drive it as-is. Obviously, there is some rust here and there, but that’s what gives it it’s character. Operationally, the headlights, taillights, blinkers and even the reverse lights and tag light works. The right turn signal – you have to hold the lever in position – I presume it should get a switch at some point, but it still works. The windshield wipers do not – the motor works, but the wiper linkage needs attention; you can see the passenger wiper sitting on the floor in one of the pictures. The bed was originally wood plank (and you can see this from the under-pictures) but has a piece of diamond plate in the bed now. She has a clear MD title – and in some weird twist the MVA years ago had titled it as a 1970! So, don’t be surprised when you see that on the title – the VIN matches the door, the lock pillar and the title – all matching. The VIN decode indicates it is a 1974 model. The truck can be picked up from my home in East Baltimore. If you want it shipped, I can meet your assigned shipping truck locally, no problem.
