It's tough to even write this, but I've admitted to myself that I need to let my '78 D300 440 standard cab, 2wd truck go. I bought the truck 9 years ago to fix up and use to pull my car trailers. I love the look of the '72-'80 trucks and I love older standard cab duallies. Back when trucks were ment for work and worked they were. I bought this '78 out of Indiana and had it trucked to PA. The cab was shot, as were many of the body panels. The bed panels, rusted in a few spots, but really not terrible. I found a donor truck with a great cab and all the other body parts needed including the dual headlight radiator support and grille. The cab floor was meticulously cleaned and painted with SilverBullet paint, the front half of the frame cleaned and ready for paint. That's roughly when life took over, money flowed, and a suitable truck was needed sooner than later. The truck has been sitting, taking up valuable garage space, and life continues to fly by. In a honest moment last week, I've realized that I'm 20 years away from finishing the truck. I have numerous other project vehicles and honestly, I'm more interested in them or they have a greatly amount of sentimental value to me. It's time to move, find a new owner, and move something else into that garage bay.
Now that story time is over, comes my offer. I still love the truck and I'd still love to see it completed. I'm literally willing to give the truck away, the great cab, the 440, everything, to someone that will put the truck together. Short of paint, I honestly think I have everything needed to finish the truck other than carpet. Make no mistake, it's apart, it's a project, but if someone can prove their interest, I will give you the truck. Soooo, any interest?
