I'm hoping my new toy with aid in vintage retreival as well as recreational fun. It does smell a tad like mice, but it has 50K miles on it. [Reply]   [No Email]

The only down fall with the early ones are the drum brakes in the front. I replaced mine with a 79 disk brake front end and added the (real) power steering to it that made it stop and drive like a whole different truck! No problems with a 36ft gooseneck trailer after that. Greg NE [Reply]  [No Email]

When the motor gives out swap in a Cummins and OD and you'll be set. The early auto od Dodge transmission are easy to control with a handful of pipe fittings and a couple pressure switches.
