1969 D200 Camper Special 48K original miles, but was originally white with green interior. Had an 11' slide in camper from the factory and still had it when my buddy Paul bought it on my recommendation as he was looking for one, this was in 1993. He took the camper off it and had the minimal bodywork done and the paint, then he put in a red interior but never got around to do the seat, it is still the mint green bench with a cover over it. I found a mint tailgate for it and helped him remove the saddle tanks and weld-up the holes. The original 383 has never had the motor mount bolts removed but he trans was rebuilt. I did the heads, added a nice hydraulic cam, found some used headers and had them jet hot coated, put on a stock 4-bbl intake and Carter carb, and have been having fun with it for the last 18 years! The suspension, brakes, and 4.10 Dana 60 have never been touched, and the power steering and brakes are all original except for one hose the sprung a leak. I added wheels I bought for my 96 Ram 2500 that I never used, and even the tires are still from then, I really should replace them.  About 10 years ago I saw and ad from the NHRA looking for pusher trucks for the Cacklefests they put on at the Hot Rod Reunions and other shows like the U.S. Nationals so I built a push bumper and have pushed Garlits, Karamsenes, The Sour Sisters dragster, and a dozen more altereds and dragsters. In fact if anyone else wants to do it they are looking for more people especially for the U.S. Nationals this coming Labor Day!

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I've seen this one around on the net. Very nice ride. 70 or 71 I'm guessing based on the grill and dash pad. I have a fellow wanting to trade me a 69 SWB for my 64 2dr project. We're negotiating at this point but I'm wanting a truck and don't want to start the 64 so it might happen. What motor is in this truck? What kind of suspension?

1970 D100 originally a 318 now 360 4 bbl - 3 speed. I added the pistol grip shifter - Adventurer trim, and bucket seats. I also used an original black Sweptline steering wheel , and modified it to have the wood grained look!! I love this truck, and it is amazing how much attention, and compliments this old work horse gets!!!
I saw this truck for sale but it was too far. I'm in WV and like to sleep in my own bed at night. I looked at it several times too. Good luck with your sale.

Anudder pic... 
That's a better shot. That is a clean truck isn't it? Looks like a pic taken in the early 70s. Cool!

This is a beauty too. I really dig the black out on the hood, it works well with the orange. Digging the riders too. Bet they keep the vandals away.

70 D100 with 77 D150 frame stub...
The picture was taken years ago and it still looks the same. I put it on hold to build a 68 Scout 800.
1970 Dodge d100/eventually going on a 77 D100 frame

Thanks & after seeing pics of Vanishing Point's beautiful blue
interior, I want to redo my seats in black, with the horizontal
pleats...and maybe check into a 4 speed conversion. I like my
cluster with the round gauges, but his interior & truck is stunning.
My am fm 8 track is out for repair, but here's a shot of the inside.
We lowered the floor 4" which gives more legroom.
