Up for bids here is a very straight and original 1979 Dodge Adventurer D150 Long Bed Pick-Up Truck. This is a nice clean Texas truck with good running die-hard 318 2 bbl V8 3 speed automatic on the column with RWD and front disc brakes. Also features dual tanks, new Goodyear Wrangler Radial tires and recent complete tune-up. As you can see in the pics, Sable Brown Metallic original paint job is mostly in place, however there is evidence of some kind of repaint on one fender and the top section of the rear bed, something I did not want to disrupt as it is an original petina truck. The truck is also equipped with factory A/C (not working), cruise control (never tried it), rear tank is solid but not hooked up, possible diverter solenoid issue and also equipped with inside hood release. Wheels, rear bumper and cattle guard have been repainted white to highlight the base version two tone paint job. Dog dish hub caps are period specific OEM Dodge division caps I purchased on eBay for $150.00, and I think from a Coronet. Cattle guard at one time contained the spare tire as you may have detected in the outline of the framework in the front pic. But the mount and tire have been relocated to the drivers side rear bed in a more traditional look. It could easily be reconnected and monted back to front so a camper could be installed. The aluminum fold out camper step on the rear bumper is sure evidence that this truck was once used as a family vacation camper, see original barn find pic the in end of regular pics to show it how it was 2 years ago when we drug it out of the car port it was stored in. This truck has been restored over the last two years to include new Carter BBD 2 bbl carb, new starter, new fuel pump, new distributer cap, new plug wires/ plugs. New fuel filter and fuel sending unit as well as fuel lines and tank have been completely cleared out. Has also got a new carpet installed, restored dash/glove compartment and side door panels. I also got a restored sliding glass rear window and installed it last summer to get the full effect of air flow. Aftermarket Ammeter is in dash, oil pressure and temp gauges work perfectly, fuel gauge is intermittent. Dome light and Cargo light are fully operational and restored with new bulbs. Brand new inspection just completed and is licensed in TX with clear title. Truck runs solid, starts easily and warms up quickly, and once warmed up, restarts instantly. I have driven it back and forth from Canyon Lake twice and to San Antonio once to get a load of shelving and it ran pretty good. All other driving has been in 15-20 mile local trips hauling furniture, mowers weed eaters and garage sale finds so I am pretty sure the truck could be driven to anywhere in Texas. Wipers work pretty well, and I have a replacement wiper motor, there is an external horn, AC is not functional, but all there, crusie control is all there but have never tried it, the defroster works pretty well and it also has a period specific Pioneer Supertuner AM/FM Cassette player and 4 speaker sound system. All sales are final and truck is sold in AS-IS condition, feel free to contact me via email to set up a test drive or a viewing, I have tried to describe everything I am aware of on the truck and expect bidders to be sincere and honest, so serious bidders only and non-refundable $500 deposit via Paypal is expected within 48 hours of auction close and remainder is due within 5 working days. This truck has huge potential to be a great shop truck, Rat Rod or Fast and Loud super truck. Additonal pictures available upon request and feel free to ask any questions which I will try and answer to the best of my ability, several spare parts, manuals, dealer brochures come with the truck, too many to list, so good luck bidding. 8^)=
