1978 Dodge D150 Club Cab

Note: This truck is equipped with a 408 Stroker Engine – Not a 440

This Dodge started out life as a Washington State Parks and Recreation truck. A few years later, with a blown 318 engine, it went on the auction block. It was purchased by my Dad and brought back into driving condition with a rebuilt 318 engine and 727 Torqueflite trans. It was the typical Gray, no AC, bare essentials truck. He drove it for several years, changing out the ‘hood ponds’ for an 80 hood. Then noticing the roof rusting, we sanded it down and repainted it with Black rust proof paint. Then, in 1996, he and I swapped some vehicles…I needed a truck and he needed a Sedan. I took the Gray/Black truck with a Brown hood and started to do some changes.

By 2003 I had done the following:

Front floor pans welded in

Radiator Support replaced

Grille reworked/polished

Dakota Digital Dash installed

Automatic antenna installed

Pioneer Stereo installed w/XM unit

Garmin GPS installed in dash

Custom built Center Console with shifter/storage/cup holders/CD pocket/Center Vents

Saab bucket seats/Recline and are equipped with heaters though they are not connected

‘Vintage Air’ AC and heating system with rotating vents as installed on GT40

Gear Vendors Over/Under 6 speed O/D with Manual foot switch or Auto Mode

17 Inch KMC Tank chrome wheels

Goodyear Wrangler 255/75R17 tires with little to no wear

Bed liner

New chrome front and rear bumpers

Headers with custom crossover pipe and custom exhaust tips

360 Engine stroked to 408CI with forged pistons/moly rings/256H Comp Cam/forged H Beam rods/forged Eagle stroker crankshaft/340 J Heads/Dual Plane intake w/Holley 4bbl

Dual 14 inch Thermostatically controlled electric radiator fans

Painted White with a below belt line Patriot Blue – then covered with Blue Frost Pearl clear coat

Cat III hitch with wiring and under dash Brake Controller

There are two spots of rust that will need repair: the driver door and some small bubbling over RR wheel well

I have approximately 25K miles on the drive train since 2003 and have loved driving every inch of the way. I also would have no issue with driving this truck from here in Charlotte to Los Angeles to Seattle and back to Charlotte. The truck does need some TLC and an owner that can give it the attention it deserves. I don’t drive it enough!! If the photos do not answer all questions, please see, and hear, videos at:

NHTSA investigating Ram 1500 models for rear differential failure

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and its Ram brand following a number of reports regarding the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. According to 15 consumer complaints, the trucks' rear differential locked up while in other cases, the driveshaft separated at its connection to the diff.
Nearly half of the reports claim the truck was traveling at or above 50 miles per hour, while two consumers reported that the diff lockup/driveshaft separation sent their pickups into a spin. Most troubling, though, is that consumers reported little to no sound indicating there was a problem with their truck.
We reached out to Ram for additional information, such as how many vehicles may be affected or what equipment might be fitted that could cause the issue. Unfortunately, the company wasn't willing to elaborate on specifics.

Police officer fired for sexually harassing a young woman

Wed, Aug 24 2016

A police officer in Jackson, Mississippi was fired after a video surfaced on Tuesday of him sexually harassing a young woman from his patrol car. According to WAPT, Officer Darryl Stasher of the Jackson Mississippi Police Department rolled up to two young women walking down the street and began talking to them through the driver's side window of his patrol car. During his discourse, his language because coarser and more suggestive. He gave one young woman his number and told her that he was "going to take care of her" and that he wanted to "do more than talk". He also suggested that the two should "get a room" together. The whole exchange was caught on video, and soon after the incident the young woman uploaded the footage to Facebook where it quickly went viral. It didn't take long for the Jackson Police Department to get wind of the video. "The Jackson Police Department does have possession of the video that was posted to Facebook by the young lady," said JPD Commander Tyree Jones. "Chief (Lee) Vance found the video to be very disturbing. He is very disappointed due to the content that's in the video." Upon learning of the video, JPD put Officer Stasher on desk duty pending the results of an internal affairs investigation. Stasher, who worked for at least eight years for JPD in the second precinct, was fired soon after the investigation finished. Related Video:
