Is that your dodge truck??

That is my old Dodge truck, 78 D100 bought it brand new January 1979 for $3400.00

6 cyl 3 on the tree, then converted to 4 spd OD on the floor. Great on gas at the time. Did some customizing to it, had it for many years.

Sold it 15 years ago. Surprised it is still around with the same perfect body on it. Have seen it at Mopars in the Park 3 years ago.

New owner lowered it, dog dish wheels, some new generation engine, and a Cadillac seat. Not Happy about the changes he did . . Out of my hands.

Perfect ad. In the sale section and you are the contact person. A Craigslist ad for example should be put in Mopar General Discussion. Well done!

You know, I have been wondering who this "Stephen Hotz" guy is......I just now read the thread about your 71 dart for the first time.

That is such a cool car.

My first dart ever was a 72 with a 318 / speed on the floor. It seems no matter how much I look for cars, I always end up with a clutch pedal. I have never driven an automatic dart. ...... yet.

Every time I think I am bored with darts, a really cool one pops up.

I started with darts and then darts took the back burner and I got really into dusters. Then I started finding demons and was all about demons for awhile. Now i am kinda making full circle and getting into darts again, although I have been daily driving a 68 dart for years now.

I'm good... I live at the top of a hill with a creek in my front yard... The creek is usually dry, but can get flowing good during heavy downpours...

The rainfall flows down a large hill into another creek in the forest preserve, which then eventually flows into the Cal-Sag Canal... My basement has never been flooded since the house was build in 1960....

Here's some pictures of the creek in the forest preserve shown from the bridge in the last picture... The creek down there is usually pretty shallow and slow flowing, but you can see it's pretty deep and flowing fast now to get rid of all the rain...

I think that you have lots of "demons".... LOL!!!
 
Here's a woman walking a horse on the trails while I was down there...

You are allowed to own horses in my town as we have the forest preserve so close by and it has bridal paths through it where you can exercise your horse... I just hate the "road apples" that they leave around... I think the village should make ordinances to make the owners pick up after the horses... After all, many towns have ordinances about picking up after your dog, why not a horse???

Thank you Rainy on the car. I so want to work on it and several others that I have, however need to get my house dried in. We are building a house out of pocket ourselves. I like the fact that you daily drive your Dart. I am looking to get 2 of my cars to the point that I can drive either of them at the drop of a hat. The 71 Dart and my 67 Fastback Mustang. I like cars that actually have thier own personality.

Thats cool right there. Towns these days get so uptight if you have any type of pets or animals outside of what fits in your house.

That's how it's always been around here... The lots are about 3/4 to one acre and some houses have horse stables...

There's also a farm nearby that has horses that you can go horseback riding on...

I'm the second house on my street and can walk to the forest preserve entrance within 3 -5 minutes from my front door...

My family has been walking Dalmatians on the horse trails here since 1948... We've had Dalmatians in our family since then and not very much time without after one generation dies and we start with another generation...

I grew up with at least one Dalmatian since I was born and am used to them... I actually need one to keep me grounded... They help keep me on my game, without one, I don't feel complete...

However, they are not for everybody... You have to know them to put up with them... They can really push your buttons if you let them...

I had a horse growing up and love them. Would like my boys to experience that but most people dont understand how much work they are. I grew up on a ranch so even now we have chickens and sheep.

I've never had a horse, but have been horseback riding...

My aunt used to help the local barn where you can go horseback riding when they were short on guides.... Her daughter, my cousin used to have a horse when she was young, but that wasn't around here...
