1979 Dodge Other Pickups Sport

1979 Dodge D50 Sport. 2.6 Mitsubishi 4 cylinder engineG54B engine code, sometimes referred to as the " 2.6 HEMI ". Automatic transmission.Odometer reads 15041, I have no idea exactly how many realmiles truck has on it.

When I purchased this truck it had been sitting for what looks to be about 12 years in a field.

I've done a few things over the last few months since I've acquired it.

It has a new alternato, ignition coil, fuel pump, radiator, cylinder head valve seals and alsonew tires on it. There is a spot in the engine harness that has been repaired, a rodent had been eating on it.

I noticed when changing the valve seals the head appears to be an updated version as it no longer had the troublesome jet valve setup on it andthe head was very clean!

The carb is still the original MIKUNI-SOLEX carb,(they where junk from day one ive been told).Thechoke and secondary diagfram where locked up, I removed those items and cleaned up the carb as good as I couldto get it running.It does run. It is hard to start sometimes and seems to be running rich.It really needs a new carb setupand im told Weber makes a carb conversion kit for this engine and that's what mostpeople go with that have these trucks.I have the Factory Air cleaner, it is just not on in the pictures.

I have driventhis truckdown the road a few blocks but that is all since it does not have a current inspection or tags. The Engine runs with good oil pressure and the transmission shifted as it should.

The A/C compressor is off the truck, but I have it.

Paint is weathered from sitting out in the open for years and enduring the elements, ive noticedthe passenger side seems to have weathered more, im guessing the passenger side took most of elements and sun.

There are no majors dents and ive see no rust through on the truck, itappears solid.

Interior appears to be all there and original.

Expectinterior to need attention if your wanting to restore, Carpet worn, dash pad has a few cracks, etc.Personally it wouldn't bother me to just leave it as is for a driver. It has the Factory floor shift console with gauges.

It will need a passenger tail-light lense, wiper blades and possiblysome brake work, it stops but feels like old brakes that have been sitting for years.

Clear Texas Title in my name, I have the owners manual anda few repair manuals that will come withthe truck.

This truck will drive up on a trailer/car hauler with no problem with a jumpstart ( I think the battery is going bad)
