Up for auction is a 1985 Dodge D-150 Short Box Resto Rod. The short version is as follows: Every inch of this truck has been gone through during its frame up restoration down to the last nut and bolt. It now sports a 440 Magnum, 727 Torqueflite trans and a 8 3/4 rear. It is ROCK SOLID front to back and top to bottom. Rust free and mechanically perfect. Everything works as new or better and it is a BLAST to drive. I have been the proud owner for the past 7 years and my current financial situation is the only reason I am selling it. Now for those of you interested in the long version it is as follows: One of a kind 1985 Resto Rod Dodge Ram Pickup, this truck has less than 46,500 miles on it since it's full frame up restoration. The truck was also featured in Mopar Muscle Magazine, June 2004 issue (color 4 page spread). You will not find a nicer pickup anywhere.
