i dont think i ever showed my truck that i picked up this last summer.
Its a 1974 Dodge D-100 stepside.
i keep changing my mind but at this point the general plan is:
-To put a 1979 Plymonth Valarie front clip on the frame 2 slam it to the ground
-Stick the 318 that i have in it, with a 3spd auto tranny with a 355 rear end.
-360 heads on that 318 with an aftermarket carb. (not sure on which one yet)
-Get a normal fender for the drivers side rear (remove the whole spare spot)
-Paint it that BMW white
-black 20's with chrome rings in the front and same in 22's in the back
-black out the grill, with a chrome ring to kinda match the muscle cars of that time
-black and white everything interior
-red digital dash
-maybe a little spray (hehehe)
-and some more stuff... lol.
heres the truck the day i bought it for 250 bucks
A week after that i cleaned it up with some soap... get the 35 years of crap off it
And this is how its been sitting all winter...
This is the donor car... the 1979 Valarie
The J, the Truck, and the junker... lol.
comments and ideas please!
ditch the 5.2 and 5.9 , and do a hemi
nice project man, and thats one hell of a nice garage you got there.....its huge!!!

my uncle has a 76 i believe D-100 advenurer1/2 witha factory 440 3spd auto,only 70 made.
that stepside truck looks awsome. i would seriously think about a newer hemi swap. find one at the junk yard take the wiring harness cpu everything and put it in there.
maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow....... but some day
