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:

Cruise Woodward Avenue with Autoblog's Dodge Challenger Hellcat

Thu, Aug 20 2015

While Autoblog was consumed by coverage of the increasingly important Monterey Car Week last weekend, there was another big even going on. The Woodward Dream Cruise is significantly lighter in terms of news, but there's no denying that it's a far bigger, and far more egalitarian than what the wine-and-cheese crowd experience on the links at Pebble Beach. The Dream Cruise crams tens of thousands of cars and over a million spectators along a four-lane ribbon of asphalt between Ferndale and Pontiac, MI. What's remarkable aren't these numbers, though, so much as the distances they travel. Owners and admirers come from far and wide, across the United States and in some cases across the globe, to take in the spectacle. This year, local radio and television coverage featured fans that traveled from Japan, Australia, and Europe, just to take in the cruise. Of course, we realize that not everyone can make the pilgrimage to Woodward Avenue. With that fact in mind, we decided to bring a bit of the Dream Cruise to Autoblog with a time-lapse video of the cruise route. You can experience the good (a Lamborghini Gallardo, Chevrolet Chevelle, and Oldsmobile Cutlass 442), the bad (the traffic jams), and the ugly (no, your 2003 Ford Focus does not qualify as a classic, get the hell out of the cruiser lanes). So join us, as we turn off 8 Mile Road behind the wheel of our 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and run north, through Ferndale, Pleasant Ridge, Royal Oak, Huntington Woods, Berkley, Bloomfield Township, and Bloomfield Hills, before ending up on Wide Track Drive in Pontiac.
