I bought this truck in Febuary of 2013 with the intention of turning it into a Pro Street. Looks like I will never get to it with the other things I have going on.
Was told by previous owner that the engine was a recent rebuild with less than 500 miles.( original 225 with 410 gears) I drove it home 2 hours and it ran terrible. Distributer was out 1 tooth, valves were all over the place, vacume advance was bad, carb was out of adjustment (new carb) and vacume leaks galore. Fixed all that and now she purrs. Runs and drives but inspection expired last month and I havent had it inspected.
It is an ameteur single stage paint job that looks great from 20 feet but it has small scuffs here and there when you study it. There are 3-4 places that bubbling has started. I have not passed a magnet over it to see if has bondo but I would think that it would have to for a truck this old. It needs some small things at the dash if you want to restore it. Oil pressure light, instrument cluster light, that sort of stuff. Wipers are slow but work. All headlights, break lights etc work. Heater works. The glass is not cracked but the drivers window only rolls half way down. All of the exterior trim is there but some has been painted like the bumpers and the rest needs a good polishing.Passenger door handle needs to be taken apart and corrected. The button does not line up by itself and you have to align it with the whole in the handle to open it.
Shifter on Dash between steering wheel and radio cut out. Pretty Cool.
Thats really all I know about it.
This is pretty solid truck for an unrestored 1968. These things are hard to find. This is not a show truck, But it is a solid old dodge pickup.This would be great to start with for a street rod oran excellant candidate for restoration. Any questions will be answered to the best of my ability.

Chrysler recalls 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks
Sat, 09 Nov 2013Chrysler has announced that it will issue three separate recalls that will cover as many as 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks for "steering-system tie rods that may have been misaligned during assembly or steering-system service." The vast majority of these trucks were sold in the United States, though some trucks in Mexico, Canada or overseas will be called in, as well.
The largest of the three recalls covers an estimated 842,400 model-year 2003-2008 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Two smaller campaigns will bring 294,000 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups, chassis cabs and 2008 Ram 1500 4x4 Mega Cabs; plus 43,500 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 4500 and 5500 4x4 chassis cabs into the dealer to be checked and repaired if necessary.
This is a very large recall, and Chrysler says it is "casting the net wider than necessary to identify those vehicles that require repair." The automaker estimates that "as many as 726,000 may not need repair."
Ram exec: first 30-mpg pickup truck will 'win'
Fri, Aug 8 2014It is totally possible, today, to take the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel pickup truck, load it up with gear and people, and drive it from Texas to Michigan while getting 38 miles per gallon. We know because we did it. Officially, though, the 1500 gets just 20 mpg combined. A more impressive number is the 28 mpg on the highway. Bob Hegbloom, the Ram brand director, thinks that there's a more important fuel economy target to hit: 30 mpg. Whichever truck company can manage that feat, he recently told Automotive News, "wins." It's kind of an obvious thing to say, but in the 1500 with both the EcoDiesel and the V6 Pentastar engine, Hegbloom said, "fuel economy is so important." Hegbloom didn't promise that the next EcoDiesel truck will manage to get on up over the 30 hump, but he did say that Ram is not sitting still when it comes to fuel economy. "I just want to have continuous improvement and to keep gaining every day," he said. "We sat still in the past and it doesn't lead to a great place."
Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats
Sat, 16 Aug 2014If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.
