I had a 64 D100, 3 speed push button on the dash with a 318
was taking auto ed at the time and I got to bring it in and do some resto on it in the shop, now this was the late 60 so it was only about 5 years old, damn ?? truck seems allot holder at the time?
but the motor sure looked good painted red,white and blue after I got thru with it,
know I've got pictures of it somewhere
to bad, mine was a long bed and of course I had to find a set of buckets and console out of a 64 Malibu and put them in it with a little help from a local welding shop
Damn truck was cool

Damn can you image buying your 16 year old kid a 5 or 6 year old truck these day!
Bet my dad spent all of $500 bucks for that truck!

I love those old Dodges, too!

Ok, I said it. I even sold my daily drive Fusion and now I'm driving a Dodge pickup.

I'm 98% Ford, I bleed blue. But the other 2% does have a small spot for Ma MoPar. [I also like shoebox Chevys, but don't tell anybody.]

I don't have a problem with the Chevy trucks of our years. I know a couple of people who have restored them and they've done a real nice job. I personally wouldn't buy one or restore one but I like the way they look just these Dodges.

Those 318's are pretty good engines and the slant sixes arent too bad either

Buddy of mine had a red one like this one. He done a bunch of custom work to it like a RV shifter on the dash and welded up and smoothed the tailgate. We rode 200miles in it to pick up my 429 with trans for my '55. Used his shop for my motor swap.

I know where 1 of these old Dodges are right now just rotting away. It's less than a block from me and been there as long as I can remember.

The old style line Dodges... my grand dad had one back in the day.... I like the looks of them also...

i had a old dodge truck of that vintage about 10 years ago... if i could have found a 440 auto trans for it i might still have it! it had a 318 smoke screen engine. burned a qt a week. lol

I had a 64 D100 in high school, stuck a 413 chrysler in it, boy was that fun!! Not many could keep up lol. Still have the 413, ran good when we pulled it.

I have always been amazed how much that little swoop in the body on the back of the quarter post reminds me of the doors of our standard cabs ...

I like them with the stepside box or is it flareside? They do have alot of character. I'm with Max on the 60-66 Chevys - I REALLY like them in a step side - love the front bumper on them.

I like the bonnets!, did the dodge come with 14" headlights as an option?

I like all early-mid 60's trucks. Had a 66 Chebby SWB stepside, and very nearly bought an early 60's IH. I think the dodges have a pretty cool look to them.

i'll never catch on to the thought that back in the day fords, chevies, dodges or any other manufacturer was better than the other. i can appreciate cool rides no matter who manufactured it. never ceases to amaze me that people feel the way they do about certain makes/models

I'm the same way, well as long as it's American anyway...

Looks like the pot stiring failed this time...Hahahaha...

I love thosed huge Dodge headlights!

Sorry guys...can't agree this time.

More you you all I guess.

i'm with dan, not a big fan of the styling. seems like nothing really "fits".
my buddy's neighbor has one that is pretty straight with the wide 318 and wouldn't sell on a 3k offer. it just sits in the side yard and will be scrap in a few years if she doesn't do something with it. two fools met right there.

I see one just about identical to this one about once a week. Learned to drive on my dad's 66 with a slant six. These are the trucks that started my hate for straight axle trucks.... scary over a washboard road or train tracks, even with that 5 foot diameter white steering wheel
