Here is a few pics and specs of the 78 dodge d200 that I had up to a few weeks back. I had to get rid of it as we needed the space .




1978 Dodge D200
318 V8
727 tranny
full floating Dana 60, 4.10 gears, locked
Weiand intake
Holley carb
hooker headers and exhaust

Thankfully I was able to part out most of it so it didn't go to waste.

 

the engine compartment looks stunning

 

Thanks.

My stuff usually has a funny way of looking better in picture than in person, Hahaha.

 

haha

 

Hope you got a good price for her and that she has a good home now as well as yours if not i hope she comes back to haunt you hehehe

 

Nice truck Tim, it's hard to find em here in the salt zone that nice. Too bad shes gone.

 

Actually, the floors were in pretty bad shape along with the underside of the cab and the fenders on teh bed and the pasenger side front fender, passenger side door and passenger side of the cab had been dragged a long something. It was in pretty bad shape that was not fixed right by the PO.

I do hope to get it back, or another one when/if Heather and I get a house with more land and a larger garage for me to live in.

 

you want it heated too right?

 

Heated or not, I don't care. I've done plenty of motor swaps and tranny swaps in the freezing cold of single digits. I will install a heater though as it is nice to have warmth when getting off the cold ground.

 

true

 

Ah, every gearheads dream...heated garage !! There's just something about a warm wrench.

 

Warm wrenches in the winter time? Hell, when I heat up my garage my tools have a nice coating of condinsation on them and are far from warm.

 

haha

 

you parted it out? i would have loved to buy those valves covers...

i had a 78 with D100 with a 318..i loved that truck, until i had a white tail buck jump off a hillside and come through the passengers side door..it destroyed the whole side of the truck.

 

I had so many people interested in parts from it but nobody interested in the whole truck.

I actually got those valve covers cheap on craigslist. Still in the box, unopened for $20 with the matching air cleaner. Hahaha.
