I grew up with a 1964 Push Button Valiant. Then we got a 1973 Satellite. Then a small Dodge Colt. Then a Reliant. In H.S. my first car was a 340 Duster. Then my dad continued with the Mopars with a 360 two tone green and white lone bed Dodge Truck. After collage I had a Dodge Aspen Station Wagon and a 1974 Plymouth Valiant three on the tree. Currently at 65 and a half years old, I have an old 1983 Dodge Truck with 3 speed on the floor with overdrive slant six engine. And that is my family history with Mopars!!!

It is the second video that I see from your channel and without a doubt I subscribed. Lol excellent content and the explanations of what you do in my opinion is very good and understandable. Also First time I see one of these trucks. It would be great if you rebuild that engine because it looks original and it would be great if it goes that way.

What a unique ol' Dodge. If the wheelbase is 146," the chassis is for a crewcab short bed. Back then, Dodge would build special orders for the US government; Metal Crafters would do all of the metal fab work. Back in 62, Dodge told the Air Force that crewcabs were coming; the Air Force ordered a load of them, wanting them 'right now.' Metal Crafters fabbed all the 62s, while Dodge tooled up for mass production. Anyways, cool old Dodge, keep 'er going.

My day is good, I hope yours is going good too! I'm glad you started a channel, that's awesome! Best advice I could probably give is to just keep doing it. Don't let negative comments discourage you. Nobody has the perfect first video and you'll get better at it over time. I know my first video is pretty hard to watch but oh well! Watch other KZfaqrs and see how they video stuff and just do what you like that they do. I got a lot of my inspiration from a bunch of different channels, but mostly Vice Grip Garage, Uncle Tony's Garage, and Nicks Garage! Hope that helps!

Hey, I’m working on a 1969 Dodge D200. It was my first and is my only vehicle. I’ve been fixing it up and driving it the last 2 years. This summer while I’m home for college I’m doing all the rust repair myself (if I wait one more Indiana winter I don’t think I’d have the ability/time to do it myself, and I definitely don’t have the money to pay someone else with college. Have you got any advice on where I could find body parts (like lower door brackets) and do you have any videos that would help me know what I’m doing first time around?
@LambvinskisGarage
@LambvinskisGarage Жыл бұрын
Oh man, unfortunately no one makes replacement body parts other than the lower rockers for these trucks, so you'll have to find good used!

It sounds like lifters /rocker arms clicking, not rod or main bearings with a problem. Just needs some Marvel Mystery Oil added to the oil, and a little run time those lifters will pump up. Hell, it may have adjustable rocker arms and a solid cam in it, so just a little adjustment will quiet them down a bit.

Twenty-five to thirty years ago when I was messing around with 70 and 71 Dodge pickups and slightly earlier. Everybody and I mean everybody asked me why I was bothering to do anything with these trucks. After all they were just old Dodges and they're ugly as sin. Well they were right they were ugly but I still like them. Kind of like if you got five ugly puppies in a litter 🚮 they will go first before the beautiful ones. Then they would laugh at me when I would say he wait about 15 years and these trucks will be in demand. Well I kind of wish I paid more attention to my words. And bought a few more of these old Dodge trucks and hung on them.
