1978 Dodge D150 Club Cab Note: This truck is equipped with a 408 Stroker Engine – Not a 440 This Dodge started out life as a Washington State Parks and Recreation truck. A few years later, with a blown 318 engine, it went on the auction block. It was purchased by my Dad and brought back into driving condition with a rebuilt 318 engine and 727 Torqueflite trans. It was the typical Gray, no AC, bare essentials truck. He drove it for several years, changing out the ‘hood ponds’ for an 80 hood. Then noticing the roof rusting, we sanded it down and repainted it with Black rust proof paint. Then, in 1996, he and I swapped some vehicles…I needed a truck and he needed a Sedan. I took the Gray/Black truck with a Brown hood and started to do some changes. By 2003 I had done the following: Front floor pans welded inRadiator Support replaced Grille reworked/polished Dakota Digital Dash installed Automatic antenna installed Pioneer Stereo installed w/XM unit Garmin GPS installed in dash Custom built Center Console with shifter/storage/cup holders/CD pocket/Center Vents Saab bucket seats/Recline and are equipped with heaters though they are not connected ‘Vintage Air’ AC and heating system with rotating vents as installed on GT40 Gear Vendors Over/Under 6 speed O/D with Manual foot switch or Auto Mode 17 Inch KMC Tank chrome wheels Goodyear Wrangler 255/75R17 tires with little to no wear Bed liner New chrome front and rear bumpers Headers with custom crossover pipe and custom exhaust tips 360 Engine stroked to 408CI with forged pistons/moly rings/256H Comp Cam/forged H Beam rods/forged Eagle stroker crankshaft/340 J Heads/Dual Plane intake w/Holley 4bbl Dual 14 inch Thermostatically controlled electric radiator fans Painted White with a below belt line Patriot Blue – then covered with Blue Frost Pearl clear coat Cat III hitch with wiring and under dash Brake Controller There are two spots of rust that will need repair: the driver door and some small bubbling over RR wheel well I have approximately 25K miles on the drive train since 2003 and have loved driving every inch of the way. I also would have no issue with driving this truck from here in Charlotte to Los Angeles to Seattle and back to Charlotte. The truck does need some TLC and an owner that can give it the attention it deserves. I don’t drive it enough!!
