Description

1978 dodge D100 pickup with rare factory diesel option. Less than 2800 of these 243ci diesel powered trucks were made. This one is a very rare survivor. I bought it out of an Indiana barn in 1999. Looks very much like an old Fire Dept truck. Signs of a bubble light installation and fire engine red color lots of instrument ad control labels etc. Truck still starts and runs like a champ but calls out for a restoration. Has typical midwest rust though not bad for the year. Looks mostly like the sort of rot you see when a vehicle sits in a field: quarters and wheel wells and floor pans. I've kept up with it over the years. Replaced wheel cylinders water pump belts etc. Thefueltank is out of the truck and I run it from a 5 gallon marine tank. I use it to makeoccasionalruns to the lumber company transfer station and to confound the self-proclaimed"Dodge experts" who tell me the truck doesn't exist. Have all thefactorybooksincludingthedieselsupplement as well as some old paperwork and the service manuals. Tires are crap: the nice Motor Wheels in the video do not go with the truck and I exchanged them for some crappy old tires when the truck sold to a collector in NY state. He was unable to come get the truck so now it is up for sale again. See video at: youtube.com/watch?v=zutkFx6u-AI
