My First Dodge truck, the one that staarted all of this madness

1972 1/2 ton 4X4

318 4 speed.

Support post across wooden bed were guard rail post...

My first Paint job, red and blue Rustolium Mixed to Purple, sprayed with my wagner power painter...

Got a 1984 bed for it. After I was pulled over by PaState police and told I needed a reconstructed title for a wooden bed.

Guy down the road had taken the bed off and put a dump bed on his, sold me this bed for $20.

Once again Rustolium paint.

Looked good for about 2 years.

Also this was after I swapped the 318 for a 1969 440 Magnum...

Cool! Looks like you got pretty good at painting!

After I was pulled over by PaState police and told I needed a reconstructed title for a wooden bed.

Seriously??

Do they do the same to ricers that put a full-on 'body kit' on their honduh?

Cool truck!

Pa Law says something to the effect of any bed other than that of stock.

I know farmers that have bought brand new cab and chassie 1 tons, and put a stake bed on them, and a brand new truck comes with a Reconstructed title.

Now They can't fail you at PA state inspection for a wooden bed, but they can fine you if they pull you over.

gotta Love Penn DOT...

That sounds like something the state of WA would do. They LOVE their speed traps and anything else to bring up "the quota".

I like the LTD II Sport Coupe in the sideground. I had a '78 which was the same colors that I bought new and put over 80K miles on it in 2 years. That 351W got quite the "durability test".
