1978 Dodge Other Pickups
** THERE ARE 140 PICTURES OF THIS CAR **My 1978 Dodge D100 short box is for sale. 2wd. Power Steering. Power disk brakes. Slant Six, 4-speed. 111k.
I've had this truck for a year; it's been our shop truck for parts runs. Since I have had it, I've installed a brand-new windshield, wiper blades, and fuel filter. Otherwise I haven't done a damn thing to it. It starts every single time and gets the job done. The transmission synchros or lack thereof make it a little grumpy going into certain gears at certain times, and gears do grind between shifts until you get the hang of it. Otherwise the truck steers/stops/drives great, about as great as a '78 Dodge pickup can.
A previous owner lowered the truck using van LCAs and new springs. It's a little low for my tastes, and bottoms out occasionally which is to be expected. He also fitted brand new wheels and tires which are in excellent condition.
This truck is from Wyoming originally and has spent it's life on farms there and in Colorado exclusively. There are bumps and bruises but no accidents. There is surface rust, but NO rot in this truck. See every inch of the underside in the 140 pictures.
The truck has been painted once that I can see, and it is a home-job. I rather like the peeling and patina throughout.
Truck is not perfect. The passenger's side window regulator will go down but needs help to go up. The turn signal stalk flops around, needs help to center. Parking brake was wired up when I received the truck and I have not touched it. It's 42 years old... to drive the truck daily you will want to fix a few things for sure.

I planned to Hemi-swap the truck but we have too many vehicles right now and simply have to let some beauties go. I have a good Colorado title for the car - clean, clear, and properly endorsed. Car is in Wheat Ridge, CO, 80033.

I've sold thousands of MoPar parts and at least a dozen cars here in the last twenty years. Lately, there's been a lot of jokers and disappearing car buyers here. See my positive feedback - TWENTY STRAIGHT YEARS OF IT. I'm easy to work with, but please don't waste my time and I won't waste yours.

1. Vehicle is 42 years old and sold as-is, where is.
