Ok, so I might be going on a suicide mission and buying a '75 D600 grain truck with a dump 300 miles north of where I live and driving it home! Does anybody have any part numbers for service parts for the 361-4 like the belts, oil filter, air filter and ignition system items? I have a bunch of pictures of the truck and it looks good and the current owner says it runs good, but we all know what means! I might put out a request for a Moparts member to check it out for me before I attempt this.

What state is the truck in?
We are still using 2 Dodge trucks on the farm. Basic parts are easy to get.

We are still using 2 Dodge trucks on the farm. Basic parts are easy to get. The truck is in Eastern Washington. I wanted to have the parts to take with me when I pick it up, but all the online parts suppliers don't have the D600 in their option list. I guess I'll have to go to Napa and see what I can find.

These trucks used Chrysler's electronic ignition. So if you have spare parts for other Mopars i would take them with.
300 miles in a truck like this will take you a long time to get home. I would guess 7 hours. Maybe more. Think 50-55 and lots of gas.

Yes it has electronic ignition, so spare ballast resister and ECU will be in the parts bag. It's about a 6 hour drive in a regular vehicle so if I can do it in 7 that would be great, the good thing about the drive is it's all two lane rural so I won't have to worry about winding it up too much until I get back to Boise and turn east, then I have about 10 to 15 miles of interstate to deal with and then drop back off on two lane again. I will also bring two five gallon gas cans with me, I would assume it will get about 10-12 mpg's!

10 to 12 mpg, idling downhill. More likely 6 or 7.

so I won't have to worry about winding it up too much until I get back to Boise and turn east, then I have about 10 to 15 miles of interstate to deal with and then drop back off on two lane again. I will also bring two five gallon gas cans with me, I would assume it will get about 10-12 mpg's! It is going to flat line with a working governor. Don't expect anything much better than 8mpg.

Don't expect anything much better than 8mpg. You don't get a D-600 for mileage. It will function just like any other truck of the era. Good luck and have fun with your new equipment...

I just got home from driving 1300 miles with a dodge 700 dump truck. I bought all the stuff like you did BUT not 1 thing fit, so i took off anyway. Blew a inside back tire in the first 50 miles, made it the rest of the way on 3 back tires, and got 7 mpg . Nobody has tires for that truck 300 miles is like nothing! Iook out for bad gas,alt,voltage reg. Drive it during the week and get the parts you need along the way, NOT the weekend like I did. Bought it in ID drove to st louis area 50-55 (top speed) Drove from little America all interstate, was no.1 lot of times

You dirty SOB! I was trying to win that one too. I drove 200 miles one way out there to check it out and drove it around a bit. And to think I was worried about driving it 200 miles back home, well I guess it would have made it. About the tire size, my local Les Schwab has them in stock, I guess that is because I live in a farm community that has a lot of these old trucks in use.

In this area tires are easy to find too. 9.00-20 and 10.00-20 are everywhere. New, used, recaps whatever you want. IF the truck has Dayton spoke type wheels guys will switch to 22.5 tubeless Radials.
Dodge trucks are some of the best built heavy duty trucks from any era.

Well I made it home with her! No big issues, swapped out the voltage regulator for an over charging issue, and swapped out the windshield wiper motor and linkage bushings in the NAPA parking in Lewiston Id. Other than that, not a bad return trip. I took it slow and easy, doing between 45-50 mph and about 3000-3300 rpm.

Looks really clean! How many gallons per mile did it get?
I'm thinking around 10 mpg, but that is a guess. Topped the R/H tank off in Lewiston and it was around 1/4 left in McCall. Topped it up with 26 gallons and made it back to Mountain Home with about a 1/2 tank left. So some where around 30 to 35 gallons used for 340 miles.

What are you going to do with this truck now? At first I am going to do a full service to it, and then work it.I am trying to figure out the older fluids that the service manual calls for, before I work it, I will change all the oils and do a full tune up. After that, I will be using it to haul gravel for a lot of landscaping, haul hay, and I have a 1/4 mile driveway that needs a lot of attention. As I work it, I will be fixing it up. Eventually I'd like to do a full restoration, if I can find the parts.

Eventually I'd like to do a full restoration, if I can find the parts. That was pre synthetic era so the trans and diff would have been 90W conventional oil and the engine likely 30W maybe 10w30. The new synthetic gear oil won't bother the diff but the synchros in the trans might might cause a fuss unless you use the stuff with the friction modifier in it. Nothing wrong with conventional gear oil if you are concerned about compatibility, especially given the intended use For the engine, 15w40 Rotella, Mobil Delvac etc will do the trick. Kevin

Nice truck. Nothing special on the fluids. Jack the wheels off the ground and grease those king pins. Looking and your trip MPG wise I calculate it at 6mpg. A friends father now deceased was in to brass era cars, drove em all over the USA and Canada. Real old school gear head. He ran an add in Hemings for years selling all sorts of early oil, grease and gear lube. He had cans and bottles, many different grade stickers but only 3 drums of lube. Gear, oil and grease. Don’t forget the elimination of Sperm Whale oil from industrial lubricants came in 1972. That was a game changer. Red

It is good to here you are going to use it as it was built for A friend of mine has 6 or 8 early(1961 and later Dodge D500 and larger trucks to use on his farm Please post some pics if you get the chance! A four eye D700 or D800 has been on my dream list for years! Sweet truck Mopeman, way to go!

In looking at the pics Bigdad and you have posted, both have windshield chrome, vent divider chrome, chrome bumpers.
Does that mean they have Adventurer packages, or was the trim standard on the bigger trucks?
Either way, nice trucks!

This one grew up near me , 1 owner truck until the local city bought it .
was under the impression that it could not be bought ..but, guess he let it go due to some connections he had with employee of the city
Now, we wait until the city puts it on the list of items that they don't want .. hopefully, it won't be destroyed by then
really nice now
