Haha! Might need 20 with yours 😂

It was a good start. I painted this one and did miscellaneous other work to it back in summer of 2020. The playlist is called “blue Meanie”

Thanks brother! This one was done in 3-4 weeks in a row, back in 2020.

Thanks, Terry! This was back in 2020. Got it all done in about 6-8 weeks. Lots of little things. Much better now!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks, Tim! It’s been 2 and a half years! Crazy how the time flies

Thanks brother

@@JustMoparJoe Mopar Forever brotherman 👍👍🏁🏁

Thanks 👍

You got that right!

Awesome! The prep always takes the longest

@JustMoparJoe Joe it's like building a house. If the foundation is good she will last the test of time. Take your time and do it right. Ya got to go slow to go fast

Thanks brother! I will get another truck in someday to give the works

Thanks, Ed. I’ve been needing to do a quicker video for this project. I actually left quite a bit out because I didn’t know how to shorten it anymore 😅

Thanks brother! I think I had it totally painted from start to finish in 14 work days. Cool truck! Cream puff 318

Thanks buddy!

That’s Awesome! I drove my high school truck from 15-21. I finally parked it when I needed to hit the interstate every weekend.

Thanks brother

She worked out alright! Thanks John

Thanks brother. This would be a sweet spot for the gen 3

Thanks brother

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks, Jeff! It was a good learning experience

Thanks brother. The new owner does daily drive it and really enjoys it

Haha! This was back in 2020. I had that one done in about 8 weeks

Thanks 👍

Thanks brother!

Thanks, Terry!

Thanks, Greg. I was having trouble fitting it all in to one video

I’ve had over 20 people ask me about that steering wheel!

Thanks brother

Awesome! You’ve got it going on brother

It was a light blue metallic, with the factory code from that year model. I have the Nason code under the basecoat video of spraying this one. Definitely unique.

Thanks for the support!

Thanks brother! Good to see you

I appreciate it! I did this back in 2020. Hopefully my editing and filming has progressed

Thanks brother! Snowed in here, and wanted to throw together some old footage to make a quick one.

Thanks, Mitch!!

Thanks 👍

Thanks brother

Thanks brother

Thanks, Mike!

Thank you! You too!

Thank you! Cheers!

You came in too late. Gotta start back over 😂

@@JustMoparJoe A+ I love that color!!

Oh yes. It was an easy one, compared to many rust buckets out there

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks brother! It needs a big block

Thank you!

Thank you! 👍

Absolutely! It’s a cool one

Absolutely! It was said to be the factory code for that truck.

Awesome!

Thanks, you too! We are at a chilly 7 degrees here with snow staying around for a few days.

Thanks, Shane!

Thanks brother. I have more trucks coming soon!

Thanks, Coleen!

Thanks brother!

Thanks, Mike! This one is a few years back, but I never got to put it in to a single video.

Thanks Jaybo! Happy Birthday 🎊

Thanks brother

Thanks brother

Thanks brother! It’s a cool little project

You and me both!

Thanks 👍

Thanks, Danny

Absolutely! Love your truck, buddy!

Thanks brother

Thanks brother! I’ve been needing to make a short video of all the stuff from that one.

Thanks 👍

Thanks, Buddy!

Thanks 👍

Thanks brother!

That’s the one! He’s repainted some spots on it, I think after another door repair. But I was able to give him the same paint left over 😂

@@JustMoparJoe that's awesome it's a nice looking ride for sure

Very cool! I have a playlist on a similar truck called Juan Carlos. Also a playlist on an 87 called “Red Sled”. And my most recent is the “ramcharger revival”

@@JustMoparJoe yes sir I seen Juan Carlos, and the Ram Charger Revival. I’ll check out the red sled today. I think my 1990 may have a cracked head or head gasket leak. At idle it looks like steam coming from the DS exhaust

@@gwgdog66 oh man, I do hear that those heads are prone to cracking. Many say it’s not close to a jacket . I’m not sure

I need to find a good Mopar mechanic in the OKC area.

For sure. But it’s an actual daily driver now with the 318

Thanks for sharing! This one definitely deserves more more 🥊

Haha! Thanks brother. I can’t remember what was back there. Probably corn in August of 2020

Thanks, Stan! Been a few years back. I picked up 10,000 subs since then. I figured someone had missed the build lol

Wow man! That’d be a trip from here. Thanks brother

Thanks, Ricky!

I can tell you from experience...most of them didn't. Mechanically they were very dependable but all Dodge trucks up until 2010 when RAM took over they were big time rust buckets. The first gens like this one would rot away in 10 to12 years even when undercoated if you lived north of the Mason Dixon and had any kind of winter. The windshields on them were held in buy a big rubber gasket and most of them leaked enough to let water run down the firewall inside and get under the floor mat so it was always wet under them. The floors would rot out then the cab mounts would go. I bought a gorgeous brand new 1977 1 ton Power Wagon with the HD 360 and TF trans. Had it thoroughly rustproofed. Within 5 years I had it totally repainted and new doors put on. 5 years after that the box was shot so put on an old dump body off an international truck my dad had used for the farm. It took 2 more years for the cab to rot off the frame so the engine and trans came out and the rest went to the scrap yard. I had other Dodge trucks with similar stories. Even the second Gen Dodges rotted out around the back wheel wells...of which I am experienced with...right up until 2010 It looks like they have finally figured it out. The only Dodge trucks that lasted were the ones that were babied and lived in the southwest and now any that are for sale the sellers are asking stupid money for them. No thanks been there done that.

Thanks brother

Nason Ful base BC B8364 IF B Std. #339422

@@JustMoparJoe thank you! I hadnt heard of them.

@@SKMopars Nason is a fairly popular paint. This was their base and clear. I put the code there in case you wanted to get a sample mixed. Many Oreilys and Crow Burlingames mix and sell it.

@@JustMoparJoe sorry I'm an at home novice, i really only heard of paint from Summit, Eastwood and Sherwin Williams! I knew there was more out there?

I can’t remember the exact name for it, but it was the factory color code bought in Nason. I have the code under the base spraying video if you ever want to buy some.

I think they were the cragar Nomad chrome, 15x10 rear with 295/50, and 15x7 front with 245/60’s

@@JustMoparJoe Thanks for the info Brother!👍👍🏁🏁

Haha! I’ll get it on the list!

Thanks, Steve. It’s still the factory 318. The owner added a 4 barrel intake and aftermarket distributor to wake it up some.

@@JustMoparJoe nice im trying to find out how to build a 472 hemi i can find it as a crate motor on google or 472 stroker hemi but i cant find how to build one i havent found a build on you tube either i find cars or a few dyno but no build info

@@steveburlingame1935 Rick Seeman is the hemi man. He has a very detailed build of his 572

Look back in my recent videos. I bought a 4 speed truck that was from the mid 80’s. Arkansas truck for under $1,000.

Thanks 👍

Not at all! Front 15x7 with 245/60-15. Rear was a 15x10 with 295/50-15
