I snagged this nice little Dodge D150 last week on craigslist. I've been itching for a new future project to put a big block in. It's currently a slant 6 with an overdrive 4 speed. It will stay just how it is for now, my wife and I will use it as a delivery vehicle for our business, it runs and drives great! It's got 82,000 original miles.

Eventually when it isn't needed anymore I will make it into a street/strip truck. Lowered, fat tires out back and a 400 based stroker. It's now time to start gathering parts and planning the build.

Been getting some differing opinions on how much power these OD 4 speeds will handle. Let me know what you guys think. I know Passion makes a beefed up version of the OD 4 speed.

It was actually cleaner and more straight than the ad made it look. Once I got there I was just afraid I didn't bring enough cash. He reluctantly took my offer.

It needs one cab corner, other than that it's 100% rust free.
 
Beautiful truck!
I got a slant truck, 1980. Please do a writeup on the motor swap!

Those trucks do look good. I've had old Dodge trucks for a long time but never a 2wd. Still think about getting one every now and then. After seeing these I'll probably be on CL tomorrow.
