Vehicle Detail
1977 Dodge W200 4x4 3/4 ton. See a short video at my youtube channel youtube.com/watch?v=TQ11xxgH3yE or search DodgeM887. The Good: Dana 44 in front with disc brakes, Dana Spicer 60 in rear with drums.318 v8, Automatic. 4wd is all time has low loc, low, neutral, high, high loc. When in neutral the truck will not move. It has to be in high or low. It is a nice system like some jeeps have.Ex-military M887 (tool truck) then it was a Missouri Fire truck. Now it has a flat bed that I put on.32,700 original miles. Not rolled over odometer.It has extra springs in the back so it is more like a 1 ton.Was a western truck so no rust rot anywhere. Solid floors, rockers, cab, doors, ect. Fresh resto and repaint over this winter. It is now a charcoal gray metallic with Flat black flat bed, grill, wheels, bumpers. Bed liner on floor, bumpers, wheels, and flatbed frame.Interior is black. No dash cracks. Has government plate still on dash.New head gaskets, intake gaskets, valve seals on rebuilt heads. Valve guides are good, no smoke.Reman 2bbl. carb. (older)New brake pads, shoes, lines, master cylinder, front calipers.New coil and cap and rotor.No air, no smog stuff, manual steering. That is the way the US Gov. ordered it. You can buy the power steering stuff at a junk yard or new if some one wanted to convert it to power steering. I never needed it. I turns easy enough without power. Less to break down. You can easily upgrade to power steering in one afternoon and a few parts and a little money.Factory plastic gas tank so it won't rust out. Runs great, drives great, for what it is. It starts right up. It is not a 2005 so don't think that it is going to run and ride like a modern truck. It is a heavy duty work truck and it is 36 years old so that means stiff ride, loose steering, road noise. Anyone who has driven a classic knows this comes with the territory. But it also means cheap to repair like $20 calipers, $40 rotors, $80 alternator....and no $350 fuel pump or $250 hub bearings and you can do it yourself in a matter of minutes to hours. Heck you could swap the whole engine and trans yourself in one day. It also has in my opinion better axles. These Dodge truck are about the same parts from 1973 to about 1993 when they changed styles so parts interchange. Has wide 16.5 steel wagon wheels. It has 33x12.5 tires. Comes with an extra set of the original narrower steel wheels (olive green) and military tires.Looks great. Hard to find one of these trucks without total rust rot everywhere. The Bad:It does have a trans leak at the pan or maybe the seal where the shift lever goes in. It shifts and drives no problem and it will not affect the function of the transmission ever. It is not a expensive fix, you don't even have to fix it. The fluid is not burned.The dash light is out. The speedo bounces as the cable gets full of crud over time. I am soaking it in PB blaster which often fixes that. If not then you can ignore it or buy a new cable. The speed is also off a bit as the tires are larger than stock. Other stuff:It sat around my house for 6 years and was only driven on the property or on short trips into town, like less then 10 miles. It was never used at all some years. That is why I want to sell it, I am not using it and have too much stuff. It always started up and like I said above I replaced some parts. It could use at least a 1 inch body or susp. lift. I am selling it as-is so if you live 3 hours away, I think you should trailer it going that far. Not because there is anything mechanically wrong, just incase something stupid like a radiator hose blows, or alternator quits or whatever. A cheap, quick easy fix near home turns into a pain 3 hours away and makes you unhappy with me. I don't want that! Trailer it unless you don't want to that is up to you. If you live local, feel free to drive it home. It will be better than the other 200K mile 90's 4x4 rust bombs out there for this price! It is a great sold truck.
