no that wasn't me.. i got it at a junk yard.. guy is a big mopar guy. his son used to drive htis one. he had a lot of cars in the yard with stuff like that written on the windows..lol
 
Nice Joe.....Congrats on that one. Im in the market for a Dodge truck of some sort.
Just waiting for that nice little cream puff to appear. :)
 
Nice score Joe. You know how I feel about the 79's. Keep us posted on this one!
 
Yeah I've seen a lot of talk on this forum about a more purposeful truck LOL.
When I seen the thread about the little red express it did give me aspirations of making a clone Sno fitter out of my truck or Sno Commander. It's more of a rust Commander now... LOL I'm sure your wife will like it I know my wife likes driving around in the big truck.
 
Great score...it's cool to find old Mopars that haven't been FUBARed by backyard hackers along the way.
 
Looks like a great project for a good price. I've always liked those trucks. Congrats on your purchase!

Only thing wrong is it was the 78 not the 79 that was the fasest production vehicle. The 79 was slower than the 78.
The 79 had catalytic converters the 78 did not.
Still an interesting video though.

my son prefers the 78, i prefer the 79. looks more finished and refined to me. may also be because there was a 79 across the street from me as a kid that i fell in love with.... but i sure wouldn't kick a 78 out of my driveway thats for sure. if the 78 where i bought the 79 at was in better shape i probably would have bought that since i've never had a 78....

also got it running today.. hasn't run since 1994

changed the oil..

threw a TQ i've had laying around for about 10 years on it since the original one was all jambed up.. reason for it idling so damn fast..

then found there was no spark.. a new ecu fixed that..

baby fired right up.. i couldn't believe it... its running off a little container of gas until i clean up the gas tank and put it back in...

some heavy smoke at first but it calmed down as it ran..

major exhaust leak. the little tube that goes to the rear of the exhaust manifold rotted off. gotta see if i can buy a new one.


other then that the motor runs real smooth.. nice and cool too..
