Purchased a few months ago for an around town hauler, sight unseen on CRAIGSLIST. When I got to the farm all I knew is it ran and had a dump bed that did not work and that had not left the property for at least 15 years. This was just a farm hauler that was convenient when the dump bed worked but left in a barn once it was not working. I was told 15 years the since it left the farm the last time. I think he was the 2nd owner and had it for several years before titling it but never drove it off site. It started and drove it home slowly as it wandered quite a bit and ran rough. This is a list of what I have done since bringing it home:New plugs, wires, rotor, capNew Carter 2BB CarburetorOil change, filters, valve cover vent and hosesNew choke cable Front Wheel AlignmentSet camber, caster and toeNew King Pins and Bushings (these are hard to find and not every mechanic has the ability to work on them but I found a great mechanic)New Tie-rod ends and drag linkNew front and rear brake shoes, wheel cylinders New Master CylinderNew Break RotorsNew Front and Rear Break PadsNew Front and Rear Wheel CylindersNew Front and Rear Brake Hardware KitsFront Wheel Bearing SealsRear Wheel Bearing SealsNew Valve SystemRight and Left Outer Tie Rod EndsKing Pin Set with BushingsDrag Link BarFront and Rear ShocksNew AlternatorNew Bed Lift MotorNew Bed Lift SolenoidNew Bed Lift ground Cable/Engage MechanismNew Bed Lift WiringRefill Hydraulic Fluid New Hydraulic HoseNew Battery ($89)New tires ($680)Steering, brakes and suspension work cost $2302.80 and was done September 23rd, includes receipt and a 3000 mile warranty on work done. Dump Bed repairs and work $1500.00Total money spent since September is $4500,00 and receipts in hand. I have more than that into the truck with the purchase price but the reserve is well below what I have in it. All this work was done by two local shops with excellent reputations and the results are fantastic. Took the truck on the highway and it drives and tracks like NEW! Amazing to cruise an old truck at highway speeds without any concern about lane wandering. This tracks and rides like it did from the factory. Basically a new suspension, steering mechanics and lift bed mechanics making this a daily driver that can haul, dump and look like one tough SOB. Engine is a 318, runs strong, no smoke and have not noticed any leakage under the truck. It is an old truck with the nuances you would expect. All lights work, heater blows hot. Original radio not working. Non stock mirrors. Split in seat fabric. Needs a good cleaning on the inside. No cracks in windshield. Vent windows good, door rubber could be replaced.No power steering. This is a good running, strong truck. Now onto the lift bed.... It needed some parts replaced and someone that knew what they were doing. The result is a FULLY FUNCTIONAL LIFT BED! The truck appears stock but as you can see in the photos, she is a true workhorse with a great feature. The body is in need of some replacement chrome, fenders and bed gate. See photos. This truck is a candidate for taking the last few steps to completion. If keeping I would replace bed gate, fenders, chrome and do the bodywork and paint for a complete functional truck. Interior and carpet need some attention. 4 speed with granny gear. This is a no emission vehicle in Colorado and still has some time on the 5 year plates. Starts fantastic and today it is cold and snowing here, pushed in choke and she started right up! Two wheel drive. Mechanically this is a fantastic truck. Body needs some help if you want. Money already spent and I am in this truck for about $6K with purchase price, time, parts and labor. A lift conversion runs about $3500 installed for a good one. This is a 1 ton lift and works perfectly. Buy it now includes delivery up to 250 miles from Loveland, Colorado. Shipping beyond that is up to buyer. If you pick it up I will refund $250 of the buy it now price. Auction is three days and reserve is below what I have in the truck. It is for sale locally so auction could end at any time. I believe the mileage is correct but have no way to prove it. Classic Collectible Dodge D200 Camper Special with a dump bed, what more could you ask for? This is a great running, amazing driving hauling and dumping vintage truck!Link to photobucket where there are a lot of photos. http://s883.photobucket.com/user/eBayphotos4u2c/library/?sort=3&page=1 MAKE SURE TO SEE ALL THREE PAGES OF PHOTOS.
