This is a rare find.
This truck sat outside for years and has lots of surface rust. BUT ONLY SURFACE RUST. The body, fender wells and frame, also, show only surface rust.
The only serious rust was on the floor pan where water collected as a result of the holes in the windshield. I used a fiberglass patch on those.
As you can see from the photos, on the parts of body that I already worked, I took it down to bare metal. (The rusted parts are easier to get to bare metal than the painted patches.)
The radiator and gas tank are gone. Both were rusted as a result of sitting.
I pulled the wheels and replaced the brake wheel cylinders----the brake lining is good and I did not replace them. (I also packed the front wheel bearings and seals) I also replaced the brake master cylinder.
This model has a hydraulic clutch system. I replaced both the master and slave cylinder.
I did a very careful wet start on the engine. I first I pulled spark plugs and squirted oil into all cylinders. I replaced the plugs and let it sit for a month. With the plugs out I rotated the engine until I got oil pressure. Only then did I fire it.
It has a good sounding 318 CI engine and four speed tranny. (I filled the engine block with water and have only ran the engine for short periods.)
I use a motorcycle gas tank to gravity fuel to run the engine. (The motorcycle tank is not included)
I blocked up the rear wheels and took it through the gears. The clutch and tranny seem to be good.
I have an extra rear window and instrument cluster. (Photo)
The tires are fair to poor.
This is a very straight truck and the doors and hood align perfectly.
I have used Ushp.com before and they do reasonable priced hauling.
No Cashier checks (I got burned once with a fake.)
I am 78 and because of health problems I will not be able to complete the project.

Dodge Durango gets the Blacktop treatment
Sat, 09 Aug 2014The Dodge Durango is getting a meaner, more aggressive look as it becomes the latest model from the brand to wear the Blacktop Appearance Package. The upgrades are strictly cosmetic, but they lend the SUV a more assertive demeanor that some buyers like.
Available on the SXT, Limited and R/T (shown above) models, all Blacktop Durangos get black 20-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bod- color fascia and gloss black trim. The grille surround, air dam, mirrors and headlight surrounds all get the inky treatment, as well. The improvements add $1,590 to the cost of the SXT. They come to $1,990 on the Limited but also include HID headlights with LED running lights and a leather interior. Finally, R/T buyers only need to pay $295 for the upgrades. The Blacktop Durango hits showrooms this October.
If you're already in the market for a Durango but want a dash more style with no added performance, the Blacktop might not be a bad way to go. It certainly gives the SUV a bit more edge than it has in stock form. Scroll down to read the full release.
Dodge Grand Caravan to live in fleets through 2017
Mon, Jun 22 2015After a hard-working career of hauling around families for decades, the Dodge Grand Caravan name was set to retire in 2016 under FCA's five-year plan for the US. The decision would have put all of the automaker's focus behind the next-generation Chrysler Town & Country, but that original strategy might have changed. Now, Dodge's minivan may have to work just a few more years before it can finally shuffle off. There are set to be 2016 and 2017 model year examples of the current Grand Caravan, according to an internal FCA production document obtained by Automotive News. This report suggests no changes in the minivan between those two years, and there's no mention of the company's intentions deeper into the future. "While we've announced the Grand Caravan will eventually be the minivan that goes away, we're not going into more detail at this time," a Dodge spokesperson said to AN. For the next Town & Country, production would start in Windsor, Ontario, in late February 2016. This document also suggests a brief run of 2016 Chrysler minivans based on the current model from August 2015 until February 2016. Automotive News speculates that the reprieve for the Grand Caravan could allow that model to focus on fleets and the Canadian market while the new Town and Country gets up and running. The latest generation T&C will reportedly debut at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show and will possibly carry a higher price to befit a vehicle with a more modern platform and improved tech.
2013 Dodge Durango R/T
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Not too long ago, Chevrolet got itself into some trouble by throwing the SS badge on just about everything it produced, so I've always been a little hesitant about the seemingly excessive use of the R/T nameplate on Dodge vehicles. For the 2013 model year, every model in Dodge's lineup has an R/T trim level from Dart all the way up to the Durango. Although the R/T name used to signified models made for road and track, I doubt anyone would be delusional enough to assume the Durango - and some of the other models wearing this badge - are suited for any sort of track duty.
Still, when this 2013 Dodge Durango R/T rolled up for me to drive for the week, I couldn't help but take in its big, mean and imposing stance. Sure, if I had my choice of buying any of the Dodge R/T products, the Charger and Challenger would be my top picks for sure, but it's easy to say that the Durango would be a close third - far above the R/T versions of the Avenger, Journey and Grand Caravan.
