I didn’t have time lol
I found out about the truck, called the guy, then went and got it. Needs quite a bit of work but I am happy with it. I wasn’t going to let it get away, especially since it was under $1000 [Reply]
My first post in this thread. It has been 7 years since I finished the 68 Barracuda convertible and had to do something.
Been looking at this old 79 Dodge Power Wagon for 6 or 7 years since we bought this place. I only know one way to do it, take it clear apart and build it again.
I have about a week in it so far, getting close the fun part.
Those dashes suck. Someone murdered that radio hole. That dodge floor mat needs to go lol.
How are the rockers and corners? You keeping the front bumper? I like it.
My 72 has a rear bumper that someone had rigged up as an air tank at one point. Ill probably get it working again when that truck gets going.
I've been thinking about throwing that 72 engine sitting in the corner in it. I bought that thing on the way to a royals game last year. Might as well put it in the truck.
It was like Santa came last week with parts for the 69. Also got new shoes for the black truck.
Im going to spend a weekend or two down at the shop soon getting that shit going.
If you are feeling foggy you are welcome.
I think we are going to try to do some bump and run racing the 28th in fair grove. [Reply]

Yeah the dash is all sorts of fucked up and the gauges don’t work either, so I have to tear it all out. Whoever fucked with the radio really went after it, there is super glue on a couple of the brackets back there.
The floor mats and all padding are going out next week so I can do some fixes to the floor. The transmission has to come out as well, won’t stay in 2nd gear so I’m going to tear into it and see if I can do a simple fix.
Cab corners are good, floor boards and under the floors are in pretty bad shape, rockers need replacing as well. Front bumper is staying, it is welded so it would be a pain to remove even if I wanted to
Whenever you decide to start working on that let me know I will swing by and watch you work and drink beer [Reply]
Yeah support brackets are fucked on both sides, driver side floor board is already been replaced with a road sign. Very shitty job replacing it. But I’m just going to order all new floors and supports from LMC and then that will be done
Already have had an adventure with with the starter. Normal starter for the truck is the staggered bolt pattern. Won’t work, and couldn’t figure out why. Measured the flywheel and someone put the 12 inch flywheel on instead of the 14 inch. So I’m on my way to the store to buy a starter with the straight across bolt pattern [Reply]
