440 trucks - 10/25/03 05:09 PM

Picked this truck up for$800.00 , a basket case of course. many options,tach, volt/vacum am/fm 8-track,but no ac.go figure! black with woodgrain.But what I like the most are the dog dish hub caps. It is nice to chat with some one who knows the trucks.

after I went to all that trouble, I realized what I did wrong, esp when I looked and saw the reply location. Ric I would still like to know if anyone has any info on my truck, I have only found 1 in this set up. beautiful russet sunfire metallic.

Re: 440 trucks - 11/11/03 12:35 AM

russet sunfire metalic is an unusual color indeed. that is the only one that I have heard of.

Still looking for help on this one, not much infomation out there. It has all the options, not AC

that is a pretty nice truck. don't see many Adv SE stepsides, esp 440's.

as for production #'s they are hard to come by. i have been searching relentlessly for the years that are not known.

in 76, these #'s are known for 1/2's,
-121 D100 shortbeds
-70 D100 shortbed stepside.

i would assume the 77's to be similar maybe even higher. 76 & 77 were the high production big block trucks years.

Re: 440 trucks - 11/16/03 08:06 PM

Not meant as a put down, how are you guys verifying that your truck originally had a 440?

Back when I had my '76 Club Cab and was looking for big block parts, saw a LOT of trucks with the 400 that the owner/seller insisted was a 440 (hint, 440's didn't come with 2bbls!).

Just curious.

My Club Cab had been a 360/auto Adventurer, I dropped in a (440) cop car drivetrain from a '77 Gran Fury using a wrecked '77 400/auto truck for parts.

Re: 440 trucks - 11/16/03 11:04 PM

mine also. it's a code "D" VIN, has metal tag and GVW sticker which both have VIN on it. plus, it still has the original motor. i believe it has only had 2 previous owners. i've seen alot of trucks and most still have orig motors. they weren't "beat on" like cars were. mostly work horses, esp in the 70's. so you'll most likely find high mileage original engine trucks.
course, that all depends on how original it is when it's been purchased.

Well , for the most part, I will have to agree with you, most do have the org. eng ,as because , they were trucks,nobody knew what they had,nor cared , because it was ,just that ,a truck,no one cared , even with the LRE ,,I have seen many of those trucks destroyed.Many of my friends have destroyed them, and never looked back

Hi all.......
I have to agree with both of you guys (macho and 440se). I have 2 1976 d100 swb 440 trucks
(1 adv se with broadcast sheet, 1 custom 100), 1 78 ramcharger se w/440 loaded(orange and white), 1 d150 lwb factory 440, 1 b200 with factory 440 in it and 1 78 W150 Club Cab swb 400. I also have, but belongs to a friend 1 1977 d150 club cab factory 440.
Sam in Ca.
I guess I have a few of them besides my LRE Macho and Palomino's which are all 360's.....lol.

Re: 440 trucks - 11/21/03 01:57 AM

Thats funny, I never been to this part of moparts and I have owned a 77 macho 440 4x4 for about 9 months now. Its an all original 440 auto with a.c. matching numbers and solid. I've had it for sale for some time now and someone is purchasing it tomorrow. Using the money for my 69 bee or 70 runner. I do however like these trucks very much and will probably look again someday for another. Guess I should have held onto this one being its a 440 macho but the money will come in handy. I wasn't to keen on the 7 mpg deal either lol. Anyone know the production number of 77 macho's with the 440 option? If its super low, maybe I'll change my mind in selling tomorrow haha

To cheap isn't the word, what you're saying is true, every truck I see in the yard, just makes ours worth more! Just keep it coming.
Posted By: dynotune440

Re: 440 trucks - 12/15/03 02:45 AM

this is true, I guess that makes my 78 d150 factory 440 truck even more rare. I have seen 2 in the junk yards in the last 2 years. It will make tham worth a lot more.
Posted By: AdventurerSport

Re: 440 trucks - 12/15/03 03:00 AM

Gee, does that make my '76 1/2 ton factory 440 shortbox truck worth more than the $1100 I gave for it in 1996?? :P I've seen and heard of SO many shortbox 440 trucks I have a hard time believing that they are at all rare...unusual yes, rare no...

JS
Posted By: dynotune440

Re: 440 trucks - 12/15/03 09:02 PM

it all depends if your truck is a 2 wheel drive or a 4 wheel drive. hte numbers for the 2wd 440 trucks in 1976 is 121 units(both short bed and long bed total). I myself have 2 1976 d100 short bed 440 trucks, 1 is adventurer se loaded white, and 1 is a custom that is fairly loaded metalic brown. I know that they are rare according to the book the Galen Govier printed up back in 1998.
Posted By: dynotune440

Re: 440 trucks - 12/15/03 09:04 PM

plus, it has to have the "D" in the 5th position of the VIN number to be the real deal. I guess 1100 would be cheap for a nice complete orignal truck, but if it isn't complete or it is way rough, then 1100 would be average then.
Posted By: 70Challengerse

since it wasn't a factory package and most likely a dealer or regional package i would say it's worth a decent amount. there would definetly have to be paperwork stating what it is and where it came (dealer) from, really to be worth any dough. then again, 440 trucks just don't bring the value in like it's musclecar counterparts do.

you got pics or any other info. please share

Re: 440 trucks - 12/23/03 11:08 AM

is there anything special about it? are there any stripes or decals that have faded away. do you have any paperwork. would be nice to have documentation regarding it's history. where was it sold new. i hope i don't sound like an a$$, i'm very curious about it's history, cuz it would be neat to find another regional type truck

it looks like a regular 4x4 option wise, from the pics anyway.
Posted By: dynotune440

Re: 440 trucks - 12/23/03 08:34 PM

Well, it is definately a 440 truck! As macho said, do you have any past info on the truck at all, that will make it worth more in the long run.

Re: 440 trucks - 12/24/03 10:09 PM

You can't see from the pics, but it has ORANGE decals instead of gold or white(except the tailgate DODGE decal is gold). The truck as you see in the pic is original, including engine (other than rims which last owner painted white instead of leaving gold). The missing items, according to the second owner, are the steps, wood sides, original seats (now has some ugly race buckets) and tuff wheel. He used it to 4 wheel on mountain trails , so changed some items and threw away what he decided wasn't worth keeping. I'm workin on getting some more documentation from the original owner, which I'll post as soon as I get it (hopefully sometime soon... he's a pretty old guy). Apparently, these are from the Southeast dealers only, but there are no production figures available (what a shock). From research, they only came with 440s (unknown how reliable the source is).

Re: 440 trucks - 12/29/03 12:20 AM

My question is, and for give me for feeling stupid,lol, is why are there so many variations of the dodge truck, mainly from region to region, mainly 76-80, different packages , because of climate.....thanks Ric

Re: 440 trucks - 12/29/03 01:24 AM

Ric,

Dodge Truck Division was competing for the truck market, which was the least restricted (emissions mainly), and last, performance vehicles of that era. Unfortunately, Dodge was mainly interested in selling trucks, rather than keeping track of dealers (which is evidenced by Dodge's lack of archival information for their trucks. Production numbers for any performance truck other than LRE are unavailable). In fact, Dodge still disputes the fact that they offered Warlocks in 1976, and maintains they didn't officially offer them until 1977 (which may be true since they were dealer optioned). So, you actually find very few of the special performance trucks with adequate documentation to prove this is what they were (Warlock, Midnight Express, Orange Blossom, etc.). In other words, certain dealers came up with some neat ideas that weren't really restricted, or backed fully, by Dodge. Hope this helps.

I found a 78 Warlock with a 440 in it. I got to take a good look at it and talk with the guy, it has 65k orignal miles on it and I am still working on the guy to get a price from him. It is unusually equipt, it has a/c, full gauge package, buckets, road wheels(not wagon wheels), and the normal stuff that a warlock would have. It is red and he is the orignal owner. He uses it to carry a quad when he goes hunting. I will have updates later.

Hello all: I just joined today.. But I have a couple of questions.

1- What would a 1976 Adventure SE club cab long bed. Original 440 truck that is in need of restore be worth? It was running when it was parked. The A-arm bushings are out.. It looks very complete and has lots of wood grain. Has factory tach. My dad bought this truck new. The second owner had the truck now.


2- I am trying to convert from Power to Manual Steering. On my 79 LRT. Where can I get a manual gear box and what else would I need.

Thanks
Great site.
Please dont me too bad about the LRT distruction.
Posted By: MachoMan

Re: 440 trucks - 02/25/04 10:24 PM

it all depends on the condition. are all the SE trim there and in good shape. how bout the interior?
what color is the truck in/out.
if you can try and get us a pic. i'm thinking right now about 1500 from your desc. again, that all depends on condition of truck
Posted By: Anonymous

Re: 440 trucks - 02/26/04 12:03 AM

The best I can remember. All the trim pieces are there. I dont have this truck. However the guy that ownes it has told me I could have it. Like I said it was bought new by my dad until 79 when he got a new truck. The current owner bought the truck and it has like 400k miles on it. It has been parked for I know of 3 years. He parked it when the A arms about fell off. It has been coast to coast several times. I remember the day my dad got it. He had a reg cab 440 74 before this and a 71 383 before that. In 79 he went to the F word for a big motor. After 3 transmittions he went to a diesel F word so on and so on.... I just bought him a 04 Quad Hemi. The truck is white and has never been painted. The interior is black and the seats have the console seat in the middle. If any one is interested in parts enough I could part this truck out. But I have no use for anything but the transmition. If someone has money to spend on this truck let me know. I dont really want to make money but It is about a 5 hour drive away. The sheet metal is in pretty good shape the best I remember.

Re: 440 trucks - 04/09/04 06:53 AM

I must have missed something, 78 was the last year for the 440 's in the trucks, but the "B" series van and motorhome chassis and "M" chassis did recieve the 440 engine through the end of 79. There are some high end motor homes that are say 1981-1982 vintage that used what was left over of the "M" series chassis that had the 440's in them.

Do all the old dodges have the VIN on the frame? Mine is a 78 440 truck with Dana 60's front and rear with a 727 TF. I dont know where the truck was built or anything because the Vin is usually on the door, but somewhere along its life someone put newer doors and fenders on, so I dont have a VIN. I have a title but im not sure if it is the real VIN or not. Someone also put a stepside bed on it too. You can see it in the pics page, its the first truck. blue/silver. Also, inside the cab is yellow behind the dash, did these trucks come in a yellow color? The VIN is W14BD85252608. I know the first part of the # thanks to redex79, but does anyone know what the 5252608 means. Usually there is a letter in place of that first 5, so it threw me off there. Any help would be great!!

Re: 440 trucks - 04/13/04 01:01 AM

Just like 440SE says, it will be below the passengerside door on the frame. definately a 440 truck by what your VIN is. It was orignally a fleetside bed truck. Yes, they made them is yellow, I just sold a 78 macho power wagon that was factory yellow. The "5" that you are refering to should be an "S" in the vin, and it is a common mistake at the DMV too.

Re: 440 trucks - 04/13/04 10:02 AM

nice color combo, like that red on white. does it have red int? just wondering cuz you said it had buckets and they only came in black. and that would make a really nice color combo red/white/black. oooohhhhh
show us a pic, red int looks sweet when it's redone.

did you have rear wheels widened?

Yeah 77440se I am a machinist, I got the truck from a guy who had gotten from a doctor that special ordered it. Where do I know you from? I am in Northeast TN.

Machoman,
it has a black interior. On the wheels the rear ones have been widen two inches to the outside and I took off the plain bullet style center and added spinners to them. They really turned out nice. I wanted to use the stock wheels so that was what I decided to do to them to make them look trick.

I take somemore pics in the next few days and post them.

Re: 440 trucks - 04/15/04 05:03 PM

I too own a 78 440 Warlock with the all important D as the 5th character in the vin. Now let me start by saying that yes I agree these trucks are rare, but, a total of 73 440 d150's built in 78. I don't want to upset anybody, heck I've got one myself, but I've run into other 78 440 trucks in my travels around the surrounding states and in western Canada. For that matter I've heard from separate sources years ago that 5 78 LRE's with 440's were built and sold in Canada. I've never seen one but have talked to a gentleman in Saskathchewan who did. Anyway I agree they are rare, I just think there are more out there that slipped out with 440's. This is my humble opinion and please don't think that I mean any harm. I don't! Give me a couple of months and I'll have some pic's on here of my Warlock with it's fresh cosmetic resto.

smokn440 on your truck it is really rare but i have talked with another guy that says he has one of those ( it may have been you though). I spoke to him at the Lil red/Warlock show in Newport News VA in 2002. Said he had bought it with the intention of making a Midnight express out of it but after seeing my Adv SE and me trying to convince him how rare and odd his was he said he was going to restore it back. Also I believe he said his truck was a sunroof truck..

Hello Dodge Truck Fans! I just stumbled onto this site specifically searching around for 440 trucks.

I have a 78 Custom D-150, shortbed, sweptline, 440, 25,000 miles still running the original date coded spark plug wires! the truck has bucket seats, tac, volt, vac, oil pressure gauges and an AM/FM 8-Track. Paint is weak, wheels changed to cop wheels.

Any opinions as to current value?

Again, just thought I'd say hello.

welcome d14bd8s,
Sounds like a nice truck. I saw a black one similar to the one you are discribing at the Mopars at Bristol show. I believe it a few more miles than yours but they were asking around $8000 for it.

Would love to see pics.

nice to see another 78 440.
please go into the "moparts club and member registry and sign into my registry. or PM me.

nice to see these trucks coming out of the woodwork. i think that makes 6 total so far for 78.

as far as value, it all depends, i would say 8-10K depending on condition, low miles is an added plus.

at 98 Nats i seen a 76 very similar to yours w/40k on it going for 8k, it was still for sale as of 2000 or 2001. 70's dodge are starting to come around, bout time.

Re: 440 trucks - 04/22/04 02:45 AM

ok , I need some serious help. This might take a while....so me and my da are supposed to tow an old dodge to the junkyard for his friend who just got it to steal the motor (an original 440), so we load it up on the ramp truck, and on the way to the jy I watch it in the rear view mirror all the way. When we are gettin close to the yard, I say to my dad "hey, this truck is pretty cool, why dont we just keep it" Now my da being a dodge fan his whole life says yes. H has 2 68 coronets, and a 70 challenger R/T. He restores cars for a living, and has never owned a dodge truck. This one, has a stepside bed, 727 trans, dana 60s front and rear, 33's with the white spokers, roll bar, no floors, half a steering wheel, wiring harness hanging out the window, no rear window, huge hole in the roof for a sunroof. covered in rust, the works....ITS PERFECT!! Now, the truck is supposed to be a 78, according to the VIN on the title. However, the truck has the square headlights and the body lines of an 85, with a stepside bed w/ a steel bottom. Im not even sure what the hell model this truck is, and ive now fully restored it. It had yellow color behind the dash and on the firewall, so im guessing it was yellow from the factory. The VIN is W14BD8S252608. It is definitely a BB from the factory, but thats about all I know. Now the 14 in the number says its a 1/2 ton correct? Well it has Dana 60s, so somebody swaped those in i think. Its also supposed to be a sweptline bed. So I figure all this out after I restore the whole truck, and the reason I found it all out is because of this site. Now I need all your help trying to figure out what model truck this really is. The doors and complete front nose have been swaped to the newer style, and it has a bed from a 81-85. The VIN says its a 78, but it has all 80s parts except the cab. I can tell the older cab by how it is rounder on the backside of the roof. The newer ones were more sharp of an angle. The rollbar I think is an original that came in the stepside bed. I only know of 2 people who have owned the truck, and I called the earliest owner and he told me when he had it it had the regular sweptline bed on it, and he use it as a carpentry truck. So somebody in the middle of him, and the guy who took the motor changed the whole bed and some other stuff(like the axles). IS THERE ANY WAYS TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT MODEL THIS TRUCK IS. were only special trucks yellow, or maybe it was a lifeguard truck or something. And what stepside came with rollbars from 81-85 if any. I can use all the help I can get on this one. If you need any more info just ask. Ill keep looking back here each day. My screen name on AIM or AOL is EJohns2004, so I can have a real convorsation with you about my truck if you want to.
THANKS!!

Re: 440 trucks - 04/24/04 04:44 AM

a set of these shields can be made if you have a templete to go by and correct rubber material. I made a set of them a few years back for a guy that needed a set of them. I used part of a thin el-cheapo mudflaps that were almost the correct material, the hard part is locating the material to make them from. The only difference is between model years, and if it was standard cooling or air conditioned/max cooling.

Did Dodge trucks originally come in a Baby Blue (I think it's baby blue?) like D14BD8S's truck? Does anyone know what color (what kind of blue) that is?

I noticed that my '76 440 has a very light blue like that under the red paint. I also noticed the light blue underneath the cab where it was never painted over with red.

Re: 440 trucks - 04/24/04 04:57 PM

back in those days you could get anything you wanted from mopar, so long as you had the money. i don't recall seeing light blue being offered in 78, but I don't have a 78 truck broushure in front of me either. a truck could have been painted any mopar color for an additional 150 dollars in 78, so long as it was a mopar color.

Re: 440 trucks - 04/25/04 02:07 AM

The light blue was a standard color for that year. Someone asked about whether or not it was a radio delete vehicle, no it came with the AM/FM 8-Track.

Let me tell you a little story about this truck. Roll back the clock to late May, early June 1978. A friend of mine decided he wanted to test drive a Little Red Express so we went down to the local Dodge Dealer. They had a LRT on the lot but the danged thing would not fire. I don't think it had any gas in it.

We were about to leave when the salesman said "Wait, we've got another truck you might be interested in". He then pointed to a light blue short bed with the standard, 15x5.5", white, steel wheels and skinny H78-15 Goodyear Poly Cushion Tires. We scoffed at the notion, it looked like a slant six fleet special. Then he said the magic words, "It has a 440 in it".

Well, that's different. Heck yeah we wanted to see that. The truck had been ordered by the dealer and was equipped with bucket seats and the 15" Tuff wheel. My friend test drove the truck with myself and the salesman.

My friend wasn't really going to buy it, remember he just wanted to drive a LRT. I made note of the truck kept tabs on it.

Back in that time frame, aftermarket stripes were somewhat in. The dealer had the truck, as well as others on the lot striped by a guy who came to the lot. The dealer also installed 15x8.5 ET Turbine mags and a set of 2 1/2 dual exhausts. Sort of a dealer custom job. I noted the truck on the lot in this form before it was sold. I once saw the truck on the street sometime later.

Years passed and I often thought about that truck. I thought it would have been a good one to buy (before the dealer striped it) because of the obvious merits. Last year for the 440, last year for the emissions exemptions for light trucks with a 6100lb gross vehicle weight rating.

In July 1994, I spotted a classified ad in the local paper that read as follows:

DODGE '78 150, 440 eng.,PS,PB, 1 owner, 21K orig. mi., $----, PH------.

Yep, same truck. The truck had been off the road since 1986. I bought it, removed the stripes, all 10 miles of them, and ditched the ET's. There is a little more to the story which involved the seller trying to buy it back but I have wasted enough of your time already. I have owned it for the past 10 years and it has been stored inside for 9 1/2 of those years.

On a side note, the build sheet and sticker both specify the Tuff wheel; however the original owner says it wasn't on the truck when he bought it. My hunch is the dealer took it off and put it on another truck on the lot.

What do you think of those stripes?

Posted By: dynotune440

Re: 440 trucks - 04/25/04 04:52 PM

the only reason why i asked if it was a radio delete or not was because of the aftermarket radio antenna. that is a nice old truck, that is typical of what dealers did in the 70's disco era to vehicles to attract more attention to them. once again, sweet truck!!! if you ever want to sell, let me know, it would have a home with other 440 trucks...lol...but that is wishful dreaming..

Hey Dyno and other 440 owners.

In the stupid question department what kind of Peformance do you get out of a Mid to Late 70's
SWB with a factory 440?

They appear to be quite the rage and I am curious to known if they had that tire smoking performance of a early 70's muscle car out of the box?

Please advise!

Re: 440 trucks - 04/27/04 05:47 AM

it all depends, the other guys don't have the pesky smog stuff to deal with, but the late 70's trucks were under rated horse power wise. These trucks can be made to run like the late 60's earily 70's cars with not too much effort. But keep in mind, these 440's in the trucks were TORQUE MONSTERS, hence the smokin tire action, but hold on to your butt when you have some sticky tires, because they will launch hard and were good for hi 14 second passes with sticky tires through the 1/4 mile with all of the emissions junk that good ol' California put on them, and besides that, some of the 440 trucks look like ordinary trucks that people wouldn't look twice at(of corse not the one's on the fourm though....lol).

Are you actually asking,lol sure as soon as someones tells me what the 8 in 440-8 stands for.




8-pak. it's an 8 Pak block. they are quite uncommon. you should probably put it on the Bay.

ok, ric, i'll let you in.
the 70 340 block has the number 340-6 cast into it. alot of people think it stands for the 6 pack block. basically, they think they have a T/A block, which they don't. that's just the casting #.
that's where the 8pk block joke came from.

Bay?? that would be eBay. another joke as people try to sell outlandish stuff on there. you'd be surprised how many people would have bid on it.

Re: 440 trucks - 05/06/04 02:49 PM

I wish the idiots at mopar didn't toss out the information that we all could use as far as production numbers and stuff like that. I immagine that it is a rare van, but I don't have the faintist idea on how many were made. this might be wishful dreaming, but it would be nice to have someone actually come up with the documentation for the 440 trucks from ma-mopar!

Re: 440 trucks - 05/06/04 10:04 PM

I have a letter from Chrysler regarding 1978 D-150 440 trucks. The letter states there were 74, 1978 D-150 trucks with the 440.

Remember this is for the D-150, and does not include W-150, or any 250 or 350 trucks. Remember also that the 440 was not available in the D-100 in 1978.

Boy did I screw up! In my last post I refered to 1978 Dodge models as 250's and 350's rather than 200's and 300's. I can't believe I did that. Most of all, I can't believe no one jumped on my case for that. Must be a pretty forgiving group here!

all 440 trucks should have came with a thermo quad stock from the factory on a dual plane cast iron intake manifold. If you are looking for a correct numbered carb, let me know,, I can research it for you.

Posted By: dynotune440

Re: 440 trucks - 06/23/04 05:00 PM

easy way to spot a 6545 TQ is that they will have only 3 vacuum ports on them, 1 for the PCV, one for the spark advance, and 1 for the choke pull off. The center phelonic black section will not have any ports on it, as well, the top cover will not have any ports either. in my opinion, it is one of the better carbs to find, because it lacks all of the emissions B/S on it.

I agree holley are great..... For chevy's! 8 years ago on my 77 trailduster I pulled that thermoquad and replaced it with a holley 750 double pumper and then a vac sec. they have their problems but then putting back on my thermoquad one year for smog I started tinkering with it and bought a book and have never looked back (to see those chevy's with holleys in the rear view)the bad thing about thermoquads is the rest of the world that being part such as jets & etc. dynotune are you on ebay as dynotune1? man everything I watch and want this guy buys!

Re: 440 trucks Hi 77440se - 07/04/04 04:53 AM

Good evening;
equipted with round black housing on carb and connected to exhaust manifold by a 5/16 tube to transfer heat to the choke spring. I thought most Chryslers used the intake manifold type of setup with coil spring on intake manifold and a linkage to choke valve. This carb came off my 76 arrow with 360 and 904. was on it when i bought it and my first act was to replace it with a Holley. I know i never gave it a chance , but hotrod is spelled Holley
Old school thinking. Wish I had a nickle for all those I sold in the " Good old days " , 60's & 70's .Time marches on Darn it. seeya

Hey whats up fellows? I just signed up so I could join in on some of the chat here. I have been reading alone and listening for a while now. I have attached a pic of my 79 with a 78 440 in it.

I wanted to get in on some of the carb talk. I have a few cents to add, I have always found that if a guy wants a strong perorming carb to get a holley. If he wants the turn key and just drive get a carter, AFB that is. I have had a few of the t-q's on some big blocks and have always thought the dawhoop! when you hit it is pretty cool sounding. just sounds like you realy tapped into some real power!

Has any one ever tried a Demon Sizzler TQ.? I think that I am going to try one on my 440 step side. http://thermoquads.com/ Go here and tell me what you think. I got this link from a guy who is on a lil red express mialing list with me.

440 trucks TQ question - 07/05/04 03:06 AM

A few years back my brother tore up a 1978 w150 club cab 440 truck, after which I scraped for the drive train. The 440 was the original but I don't think the carb was. I still have it, can you tell me what the #s say it is from? they are - 9036S over 227 5. I think that the top is the one needed, what is the bottom #?

Posted By: dynotune440

Re: 440 trucks TQ question - 07/05/04 05:44 AM

9036 carb is something that would have went on a 440 engine on 75 and 76 model trucks and vans. it is the emissions style carb according to my 74-77 mopar truck parts book. hope that helps

Dynotuned you seem to know your trucks well .. This is what i just got last week > I have a 77 A 150 dodge truck fleet side, short bed , black and white stripes on the tail gate in between the chrome trim. It looks to be B5 blue factory paint . Factory 440 auto.. sold new in Sacramento Ca .. I have all the paper work and it is all matching number truck.. It was sold with a trailer tow package, tack. tilt tuff wheel and wood grain trim and bucket seats with a fold down buddie seat inside..The truck even has a moon roof.. and the moon roof shows on the window sticker .. It's a strange truck..It has duel gas tanks. I was told by the first owner that the truck came with side pipes like the little red but they ran down in rocker panel and not up the bed like a little red ..The first owner was told by the dealer it was a calif truck package and not sold in this form in any other state . its a totaly rust free truck with only a few tiny dents.. If you have any info , or any web sites that might help me please drop me an email .. Thanks Lee Pritchard .. Sorry i forgot to add that it has little red express chrome slots wheels

Big block Ramchargers & Trail Dusters - 07/13/04 02:43 PM

Has any one ever seen or owned a factory big block 2 wheel drive Ramcarger or trail duster? Is this some thing that was built? I have owned a big block Trail Duster but it was a 4x4. I think I would like to get a 70s 2 wheel drive Ramcahrger but I don't want to give up my 440. I know i could put one together, but I don't think I want to go through with the trouble. It was just a cool thought I had. What do you guys think about this?

the only big block available for 2wd's was the 400. 440 was only offered on 4x4 RC's. ya never know tho, maybe one specially ordered or canadian version is sittin out there waiting to be found.

No oil pressure in the 440 today!!!!!!! - 08/01/04 04:43 AM

MAN! I fired up the truck this afternoon, let it warn a bit and made a few passes up and down the road, pulled it back in and drained out the oil. Toped it off with new and refired the 440 and the oil PSI never came back up. Something is weird here, the shaft did not twist off, and it is full of oil, so I figure, must be the pump. The local parts guys in the area ( A-Zone, O'Reilly's Napa, All pro ) all said that a 440 oil pump will be special order. That will take a week or more! How about that for luck.

Re: No oil pressure in the 440 today!!!!!!! - 08/01/04 11:38 PM

Boom! The 440 is OK! 100 psi, Never had that before. Weird that the pump stoped when I changed the oil, I got a used pump from a 400 I have in storage. This will do untill the new one comes in.
Posted By: shinnery

Re: No oil pressure in the 440 today!!!!!!! - 08/05/04 01:58 AM

Look in the pump you pulled off. Specially the relief valve. If you got something that blocked the valve open it will not prime and build oil pressure the next time you try to run it. My brother had a 383 that parts of the nylon cam gear did that to a couple of times. That relief valve is what determines your oil pressure so your new one must have a stiff spring.

Posted By: dynotune440

Re: No oil pressure in the 440 today!!!!!!! - 08/07/04 12:48 AM

I agree, it must have something in the releif spring causing it to dead head the pump (full presure)
Posted By: MrRico

Re: No oil pressure in the 440 today!!!!!!! - 08/09/04 06:14 PM

Well I took the pump apart and I did not find anything obvious. I geuss that the trash could have been knocked out in the past week that it has been laying around. The spring is intack, I don't know if it is worn out but nothing in it and it is not broken. The new pump is on and working great so I will just have to be happy nothing went terribly wrong. Thanks guys!

good deal, i like that one better than your russet one. that will be a very cool truck when finished. i never thought sam would get rid of it, but it's at another good home. can't wait to see it done.

I like the 76 because of course the documentations,the org bill of lading, org broadcast sheet and the org options paper work,and they all will be laminated.Plus that it is a radio delete,WITH the paper work, that the dealer installed am fm 8-track with cb, now that is cool,and I have the paper work to prove, the options on this truck is wild,the truck will not be started on for awhile[promised the wife] BUT will be done,the weather here in PA is quite diff from CA, so its gonna be stored alittle different.Yes it does have a good home,and I plan on never getting rid of it.Sam when you get a chance, give me a hollar,BUT stick to the books!!

Re: 440 trucks - 09/02/04 04:29 PM

Been a while since I've logged on, mainly because I've moved back to BC from Phoenix and now use a dial-up instead of cable.

Anyhoo, I logged on hoping to find someone who could tell me about Warlock wooden bedrails, if they were a factory option and where I could get a template to make a set for my '78 Adventurer SE. I am currently replacing the oak bed that got warped silly in the Phoenix sun and thought the wood rails would look good on the truck. Hoping to sell it soon to better my downpayment on a home.

Some of you may remember the truck from my previous sig pics but for those of you who don't, here it is. It was originally a 400/727 combo but I replaced it with a '68 440 punched .030 over, TRW forged 6-pak replacement pistons, forged crank, 284/484 purple shaft, worked 906 heads with stainless valves and topped off with a dual quad propane system sitting on a low rise Offy intake. Had the trans built by John Cope of Cope Racing transmissions. Currently sporting a set of 2.7 gears in the rear but have a set of 3.9s... just haven't had the inclination to kill my fuel economy! (Plus it's fun to pull down to first at 55 MPH and tromp on the load pedal!!! Scares fart-piped Hondas!)

The interior has the woodgrain dash without tach or vac/volt, has buddy seat buckets, tilt column, all in black.
Kind of a rare bird based on the VIN and production date having the last 6 digits being 500001 built Sep/77 (1st truck, second line).

The bed railds were standard on the warlocks, but could be ordered as an option from what my local dealer told me here within the last year. They could have been gotten for any utiline truck dodge made with a short bed step side.

Not an original 440.. But since they didn't offer the big block after 1978... I had to add the 440 myself.
So why not make it a Six Pack.

This is my 1980 Ramcharger...still in construction.

Thanks. I am rather proud of how it looks. Unfortunately the summer up here has really sucked so the internet is the only place that I can "share it" and get people's reactions.
I am particularly happy with how the late model Durango and Ram interior parts came together.

Holy Sheep Sht!!! Never would have thought that could be made to fit. What year is that dash? Some VERY nice work there. I like the attention you paid to your AC system too. Well laid out, especially like the bulkhead through the firewall, no cheezy hose thru a grommet.

When I decided to try this, All I new was that the width of the Ramcharger was the same as my '98 Ram. So the majority of the modification was cutting down on the depth of the dash.
I realized once I installed the '98 dash that the overall flow of the dash was still close to the stock. the original heaterbox wouldn't fit with the new dash so I had to go after market.
I decided to go with Dakota Digital for the instrumentation because it would be easier to install than the original analog gauges. But I think that it ended up with a better look.
The Steering column, steering wheel and the power and heated seats are from an 2002 Durango.

I'm pretty impressed with the plumbing work done under the hood. I was nervous about how that was going to look was wsa very pleased with the care and attention to detail that they took to make it look clean.

Considering that this was originally just suppose to be a new paint job and big block project, I would have to say that I am happy with the outcome. Especially considering that I am more a restoration buff than a hot rodder.

Thanks for the interest.

Joe

Those grills you speak of, They are all but gone,averaging $550.00 apiece. I have 1 left at this time, people will put thousands of dollars into a paint job, but wants to spend 2 dollars on the drive line and the chrome,By the way I have almost 30 hrs in every grill!

D13BD6S------

The truck was exported to Canada hense the speedometer in Km. The early history of the truck is not known. I am not sure if the Warlock package was added before or after it was shipped to Canada. Adventurer was simply another option package. From my understanding, the early Warlocks were created as an appearance package for trucks that had a hard time selling. Thus there is little known and no production numbers. In 1976-77 who would want a D100 2wd pickup with a big block?! Had to load it up with options just to push it out the door.

the warlock had unique options, so i don't think just sprucing it up for sales was the idea. tuff wheel, gold wagon wheels, chrome side steps along w/miles of gold pinstriping.
GK9 is supposed to be the code for warlock package but i've never seen it on an equiptment decal. my guess it would be on the shipping invoice and maybe buildsheet.

according to my information, there were 70 dodge utiline dodge trucks that were built that started off with the VIN number D13BD6S. This would include all models (custom, adventurer, adventurer sport, adventurer se, and the package trucks like the warlock and true sprit).

Re: 440 trucks - 10/11/04 10:34 PM

Lil Reds were predestinated from the factory to be Lil Reds. But were Warlocks, Midnight Expresses, and True Spirits destined from the factory that way? I thought it was more of an individual dealer sales gimmick for declining sales and leftover inventory. It was just an appearance package. When they found it was working, they increased the efforts of the “Adult Toy” campaign. Does anyone have any original 1976 literature that mentions Warlock? I have only seen the brochures in later years.
In the late ’80’s - early 90’s Mopar did a similar thing with the “Mopar Express” kit for the Dakotas. I know a dealer who ordered one to put on a leftover Dakota they couldn’t sell.

dynotune 440, is that the number for 1976? Any idea of how many left? I guess that would make it pretty rare.
Where do you get the other statistics of how many utilines with each engine size were built in 1976, 1977, 1978? Just curious. For example, Black Warlock’s pickup is one out of how many that start with D13BF7S?

Re: 440 trucks - 10/11/04 11:12 PM

the true spirit was the precursor to warlock. did they tweak it a bit and come up w/warlock. i've seen only 2 different color true spirits and both were different body's a utiline(all were same color) and a sweptline(was blue). the swept didn't have the striping.
i have sales and dealer lit and nothing is mentioned about warlocks or true spirits in dealer order books. so hard to say. warlock is mentioned in sales brochures for 77.
don't have much before 76 as far as dealer stuff.

Who at Dodge was behind the marketing strategy for these trucks?! Names like Warlock and True Spirit could have definitely backfired on them.
Maybe this is why they waited a year before putting anything in print.

Typically, auto manufacturers don’t resort to images of witchcraft to gain popularity among the general public. Now the names are quite fitting because these trucks are very “mythical” – little information is know for a fact. I still haven’t run across one of those rare Warlocks that “looked EXACTLY like yours but with the big block HEMI 6-pack, 4spd, with stacks……...

Re: 440 trucks - 10/11/04 11:45 PM

That is the number for 1976 units only as I stated before. There is no information on how many other utiline trucks were made with the VIN"D" code 440, unless Machoman knows more. I have no idea how many are still out there, but I would have to immaginge that there are not too many left out there. There were no 131wb utilines in 1976 with VIN"D" 440 engines. Also, there is no information on other trucks other than the 1978 D14BD8S trucks, and the Lil Reds.

Re: 440 trucks - 10/11/04 11:53 PM

Well, one of the guys was Tom Hoover, and the other guy I can't remember his name. Tom was inspirational in the conception of the LRE. The names did actually backfire on them, in 1979 the name of the warlock changed to warlockII. This change was of a law suite from the warlock motorcycle gang stating that the name was theirs and mopar was infringing on their rights to the name. as far as rare birds goes, they are out there, but in some cases, some of those rare birds look like they were made that way by their owners, rather than the way they rolled off the assembly line.

Re: 440 trucks - 10/12/04 12:30 AM

Interesting about the Warlock II. I never knew that was the reason behind that.

The comment was reflecting on people's little knowledge about these trucks (not you in particular). It seems like they is always one in the crowd at a car show that starts telling you that they had the exact same truck but instead turns into a list of every Mopar word they know. Or think they think you ripped the stacks off a Lil Red, painted it, and put custom gold pin striping. Very few people know about the Warlock package even if they own a Mopar.

Now back to our regular scheduled program...

I have been reluctant to ask this question.

Has anyone ever seen a Warlock with a Warlock decal on it?

I remember as a kid seeing a 4x4 Warlock in the "hood" (not to far from where I live now) that had a decal depicting a Warlock / demon looking "man" in the same location as the True Spirit script.

When I have posed this question to Mopar car people in the past they all laughed and thought I was stoned. Not then I was 10 years old and on my way to church.

Has anyone ever seen this?

it would have been added, there was a green 78 warlock in minnesota that had a warlock decal on the hood(kinda demonic looking too) that was on ebay about 2 years ago. My guess it would have been added by the owner, as mopar only did striping back in the day

I have been reluctant to ask this question.

Has anyone ever seen a Warlock with a Warlock decal on it?

I remember as a kid seeing a 4x4 Warlock in the "hood" (not to far from where I live now) that had a decal depicting a Warlock / demon looking "man" in the same location as the True Spirit script.

When I have posed this question to Mopar car people in the past they all laughed and thought I was stoned. Not then I was 10 years old and on my way to church.

Has anyone ever seen this?




Man thats funny you bring that up .. I almost had a guy up here put that on my truck . A buddy of mine has a model of a warlock with the WARLOCK Demon face on the hood. I was very close to doing it... till the guy told me how much it was going to cost. That made my mind up right there.

I have a question for you guys.....
which project should I address next summer?
1978 d150 swb 2wd 440 truck -or- 1977 d150 swb 440 warlock. The 78 is lowered, and will need some attencion to the engine. the 77 is a basket case that will need frame repair and a lot of stuff. Anyhow, any opinions?
Posted By: SANDYinNS Canada

Re: 440 trucks - 10/18/04 03:04 AM

I'm assuming the 78 is a sweptline? Warlocks are cool but more common at shows....The sweptine (?) is more of a sleeper... I'd pick the easy one first while gathering parts for the warlock.


Or you could sell one to finance the resto of the other???

Re: 440 trucks - 10/18/04 03:46 PM

Yeah, the 78 is a sweptline box truck. it is also loaded to the gills with options including adventurer se package, tach, volt/vac, am/fm/cb, a/c, tilt, cruise, skylight roof package, etc. The 77 is also fairly loaded, but nowhere near this 78. I am still gathering parts a little at a time for the 77 anyhow. Thanks for your input.

ok,,I need a guesstimated opinion,,,my motor has seemed to fizzle out to nothing,,,,,,ran beautiful when i tore truck down,,,,,,ran it while i was rebuilding truck,,,,finally drove it for about 50 miles,,,,,,,,now it wont even start,,,,backfiring out of carb when trying to start,,,,,got good spark,,,plenty fuel,,,but major blow-by now,,,and #1 plug around 50 lbs.& #2
plug around 70 lbs. compression,,,thinkin timing gear and chain,,,,any suggestions,,,,

Re: 440 trucks - 10/20/04 04:07 AM

Huh thats what it sounds like to be jumped some teeth there would be no other reason for it to back fire threw the carb . Timing is the problem
Posted By: dynotune440

Re: 440 trucks - 10/20/04 05:58 AM

here is an easy test, put your crank pulley on TDC, "0 degrees" on the ballancer, and pull off your distributor cap. If the cap and rotor don't point in the same direction(toward #1 cyl), then you probably have a timming gear that went away. How many miles are on it? If it is still the orignal chain and gear, it will be the fiber tooth gear set up. Good luck, and tell us what you find out with it.

Re: 440 trucks - 10/20/04 08:11 AM

90,000,,,,,gonna start tearin into it tomorrow,,hopefully have it back together by saturday,,but would the timing being so off cause the low compression and blow by???
Posted By: Fargo Freek

Re: 440 trucks - 10/20/04 02:25 PM

Yes it would because the valves are opening at the wrong time thats why it is blowing back threw the Carb ... thats where half your compression is going....

Re: 440 trucks - 10/20/04 04:32 PM

Was the rotor pointing in the right direction when the crank pulley was set to TDC?

WOW 180 out........ HUH sounds like someone was in there doin some back asswards stuff.... Yup get in there and get that straiten out and go from there....... Hope it all works out for ya ... and it,s not to hard on the pocket book..
Posted By: dynotune440

Re: 440 trucks - 10/23/04 04:23 PM

that doesn't sound right. re-check it Joe before you spend any money on it! the camshaft turns 1/2 of the crankshaft speed. it takes 2 revolutions of the crankshaft to turn the camshaft 1 full turn. it is possible that the crankshaft is not at TDC#1, but rather TDC#6 piston. If this is the case, check to see how close the rotor is pointing towards #6(1 and 6 are companion cylinders). If all looks good there, there might be something wrong with the valve train, like possibly a burned valve(I hope not, but the possibility exhists).

Re: 440 trucks - 10/23/04 06:16 PM

the camshaft sprocket is steel,,,so someone may have changed it at one time,,,,,,when the timing marks are lined up,,the damper mark also lines up tdc,,,,,but the rotor is 180 out
Posted By: dynotune440

Re: 440 trucks - 10/23/04 08:10 PM

then it should be pointing towards #6 cyl. I would almost bet money that it might have some valve issues. there is something else you could try, try to plug off your brake booster line and see if that helps, I have seen brake boosters cause lean conditions and damage valves before. not to say that this would fix your blow by, but it could be a possible cause. Another thing to do is hook up a vacuum gauge to your engine and see what kind of reading it has, a normal big block with a stock cam should have arround 19 inches of vacuum, and be steady. if you want to hire a mechanic, I could come out for a set of round trip tickets and lodging....lol.

Re: 440 trucks - 10/23/04 09:53 PM

now i'm confused,,,,,,,,i thought if everything lined up,,rotor should be at #1,,,but would a burnt valve make the timing chain seem too loose,,,or is that a whole different issue,,,,sorry,,,,my bro-in-law lives here too,,,he's a certified mechanic,,,,he's coming over later today to set me straight,,but your always welcome to come out here
Posted By: Fargo Freek

Re: 440 trucks - 10/24/04 12:46 AM

what it sounds like to me is someone had the distributor out and put it in Backasswards and then moved all the plug wires around. when it is a TDC the rotor should point right to the #1 cylinder . right now it should be pointing at # 6 if it,s out 180. if you want to know if you have burnt valves do a leak down test. start at #1 piston and bring it up to compression stroke and hook a air line to the spark plug hole and put air in then listen to hear a leak . if you hear it from the carb you have a burnt intake valve If it comes from the exhaust it is a exhaust valve that is burnt . do that to each cylinder and you will know if you have any burnt valves hope this helps you out.....
Posted By: smokn440

Re: 440 trucks - 10/24/04 07:33 PM

sounds like it,,,,,,,but I've owned the truck around 4 years now and I never had distributor out,,,,,and this truck was running solid the whole time,,,,even 2 weeks ago trying to start it,,,,it turned over once and ran,,,shut it down and it never restarted,,,,,could it have been running 180 out????hmmmmmmmmmm,,,I think we did try to time it with a light and couldnt get it dialed in,,,,so,,,,now I've got the camshaft gear mark at the bottom,,,then i pulled it and turned the crank one turn to #1 tdc,,,then i pulled the dist. up and turned it 180 to #1,,,,now everything is lining up,,,,now if my bro-in-law ever shows up with a gear puller,,,I can put it back together

Hello, I'm new to this board and this site. I hope I'm posting correctly.
I have a '78 adv se SWB 4x4 with a 440. I've read that there were not many of these made so i guess my question is...is it worth it to restore it or should I build it? Right now all the modifications are to the suspension..and i'm not sure it has the correct seat but other than that it's pretty much stock..any help or suggestions would be great!

well, it would be safe to say that not many adv se 4x4 440 trucks were made, there are a bunch more of those floating arround than the 2wd's for sure. so, do you have pics of it, what options does it have, what color combo is it????? Let us know. You might even PM machoman, he has a truck registry going where he is collecting info on 1972-1980 dodge trucks.

Re: 440 trucks - 11/01/04 03:44 PM

Thanks for the reply! I don't have a pic right now...I think the truck is fairly loaded it has a/c, cruise, ps, pb, tilt, cargo light, dual tanks, full carpet, woodgrain dash(I'm not sure if that was an option) and an automatic(not sure if that was an option either). The original color is two-tone blue/silver although right now it's mostly primer, the poor thing needs some work. also it has remote spotlights but I don't think those are stock...I am having a bit of a hard time finding info on what did or didn't come on these trucks.

yes they did. if the 15-10LT tire was ordered you received a 15x8in steel wheel. this wheel was available from 74-76. in 77 the chrome 5 slot became available, and i'm not sure when the wagon wheel first came out. i'm sure it was 77 also only cuz i have never seen a factory 76 w/these.
the chrome 5 slot was optional on 2wd's in 76
here is a pic of the complete set of 5 i picked up.

The first one, the MACHO PW is a factory 440 truck. The second one could be, and probably is, the auction appears to have the "B" and "D" switched arround.

Re: 440 trucks - 01/09/05 03:22 PM

I take it the big blocks were available in more 3/4-1 tons and 4wd than 1/2 ton 2wd's? Were any 1/2 ton 2wd trucks available with a 400?
I helped a local guy get his 1976(I think) RamCharger with a 400 running. I wasn't sure if this was an option on 1/2 2wd trucks since the RamChargers got them. ~Mike~
Posted By: dynotune440

On 77 Short bed trucks the second tank is located in the cab. On long bed trucks both tanks were under the bed. So changing beds won't help.

On build sheets I have not seen trucks with them other than the black and white sticker or stickers under the hood listing all the equipment. These were usually located on driver side under the hood.

too bad you didn't live in the states, I know a really good transmission guy, and he has a 77 truck as well......but shipping to there and back would cost mucho $$$$$$$$$$$$

12 Weeks,How many people live on that damn Island?

Re: 440 trucks - 01/27/05 01:34 AM

12 weeks is quite some time just for machine work. Must have a hard time finding lava rocks hard enough to hone that 440 block.
really though that does seem long but if their putting the engine together also that may be about right. At least that will give you plenty of time to detail that engine bay.

I don't think so, It used to be a city or state truck, because it was originally an awful yellow, and it is still yellow under the hood, interior, under the box, and peeling through a bad paint job.

Are you going to take the brake booster off to paint? It is only 4 nuts and one pin that hold it in place. I know I would but just curious from the pictures.

I was kind of wondering the same thing too. would be easier to paint with the booster out of the way, allong with the bulkhead connector too, and .........well, you know where I am going with this..

Re: 440 trucks - 01/31/05 11:08 AM

On the master cyl. I painted mine with Stainless Steel paint. Makes a shiny bare metal finish. One bit of warning on a problem I had on my truck, after having the wiper motor out. When I put my wiper motor back in it was out of phase with the wiper postion on the windsheild, so when I hooked up power back to it (hooking up the battery) the wipers came down onto the cowl panel below the windsheild. Luckly not scrathing but they sure could have. I took the wiper arms off, turned the motor on then off so it would postion itself, then reinstalled the wiper arms. Thought I might pass that along to you because I see you have your wiper motor out and that might happen to you. Hope that helps you.

Re: 440 trucks - 01/31/05 04:27 PM

Well I have always loved the mid 70s Dodge trucks, owned a few, then i came across this van:
1977 B200 Sportsman Royal "D" code 440 ! 1 owner, 60K orig, cruise,ac,2 tone green/white,was converted to wheelchair lift when new by Braun,
which included fiberglass raised top, its still got the option sticker under the hood,runs and dries like new! No rust, garage kept, looks like first time it saw snow was this last Jan in IL!
so its now my parts hauler/swap meet transport.
how many of these do you think were made with the 440?

As a matter of fact mine is the only short bed I had ever seen with dual tanks ( one in cab one in bed) until now. Thats pretty cool, must be no place for a spare tire with the tank back there like that.

Don't know about basic searches, but places like Jegs, Summit and etc, have headers,basically the same frame,dodge didn't change that much in those years,good luck,I cut my headers out with a torch,in about 10 pieces,pain in my butt!But happy with manifolds, oh yeah,I like org look better.

Hedman makes 1 3/4"x3" full length headers for 2wd big block dodges. I have a set on my truck. Other than a little work on the 3-5 pipes to clear the frame better they fit great.

Here is my parts hauler, 80 Ram 440 2wd. 13.40s @102.

I dont see any reason why the 81 would be different, these things appeared to be unchanged until 93!

Hey guys here,s a pic of the truck I picked up for 1.000 bucks that had a 360 race engine in it . The guy that had it lost intrest in the truck after putting out 3500 bucks on the engine and 1000 on the trany. He also had a buddy of mine get the body ready for paint when it ended up sitting for 6 months in the drive way . My Biuddy told me that he wanted to get rid of the truck because it was getting to be a Eye sore in his yard.. So I offerd him a Grand and he took it ..... the truck also came with a running 318 and 727 tranny ... now keep in mind it needs paint

Re: 440 trucks - 02/24/05 04:17 PM

I only had one experience in flying that was a little odd, and that was that we landed in Minneapolis, and on the approach you could feel the plane feathering from side to side to slow down, and then, a sudden burst from the engines right before touchdown. We landed really hard and everyone onboard just got real quiet.. . Was fun though. I love flying, and would not hesitate to jump onboard another plane. I almost went skydiving once, but my mother of all people talked me out of it..

So what did you end up choosing on cams? A few tips on the new engine that you may or maynot know to do, be sure you prime the engines oil system before ever firing it up. Get all those oil galley full of oil. Dry start is one of the most common new engine failures. Also don't add any of those oil additives they can keep your new rings from seating. I know you have your engine bay all ready so you won't be doing this but don't leave a freshly built engine setting for too long before starting. A month or so won't hurt but if its going to be longer be sure you turn the engine over periodicly by hand to keep everything free. Also another startup problem is having the coolant system not completly bleed of air before firing. If there is trapped air in the radiator system the engine temp will got out the roof real quick. That happen to me when I first fired my engine up. And one last thing and I'll quit preaching be sure to follow breakin procedures on your camshaft after the engine is fired up. Most hyd. cams need to be "run in" when first fired up. You do this by getting the engine running first, make sure you have no major leaks and then run the engine at 1500/2000 rpm for about 15/20 minutes. This hardens the cam & lifters to one another. Your machine shop will probably tell you all this but just in case. Good Luck with the new engine

Hey cool Joe
Well Guys I had a awsome time in Mexico and the plane trip wasn,t bad either . But I will tell you some thing about Mexico that you may not know .... Those guys down there have the minnopoly on the SWB fleet side D100 & d150 and the 2x4 ramchargers I never seen so many in one place and I would say that half of them are big blocks. Just made me sick to see that all that mopar truck stuff going to waste. they don,t look after any thing down there. They also drive like they are in the Indy 500. I would never drive down there at all < My truck wouldn,t last 5 min, down there. It would be wrecked in no time the way they drive. Any how we had a great time drank lots LOLOL seen lots did lots.

I saw these post for Dodge trucks. I have a pretty nice Dodge Ram. It's not rare except as far as older trucks go, there aren't many Dodges in this part of Texas. A lot of late models but nothing in the 80's or earlier

Thanks Smokin44. It's got M/T ET Streets on it now. 18.5 X 33 X15,s. It's a mild 440+.030, narrowed Dana 60 w/4.88's, TF with a Turbo Action 3800 converter (smoked it last weekend at the track - the trans. not the converter), glass AAR hood. Should have it running in the 7's 1/8 mile in the next couple of weeks. It has a nitrous hookup and if it won't run 7's on the motor I'm going to pill it till I kill it.

Thanks for the compliment. You probably saw it when CUUDA had it in Houston. I agree, it looks better than the photos. You can see the ghost flames and how slick the paint really is. It has changed running gear wise since I got it. Cuuda has my old Falcon. It should be up and running again soon - and should be in the mid 5's at HMP.

Re: 440 trucks - 04/04/05 12:02 AM

Hoosierdaddy,
Great looking engine, But why propane? Just to be differnt? Besides the ovious carb differnce and I'm sure plumbing & tank,what else did you do to convert to propane? I know from seeing propane engine that they are really hard on cylinder head components, [valves & seats and springs] did you do anything to the engine to run on propane? But that is one sweet looking engine.
Posted By: 70Challengerse

Re: 440 trucks - 04/04/05 12:41 AM

Propane,Guess thats why you build engines Larry, any advanantages?
Posted By: Anonymous

Re: 440 trucks - 04/06/05 02:03 AM

I'm an automotive tech that apprenticed at an alternative fuel conversion shop. I pitched a tent every time I saw a dual quad setup, and when it was time to rework the ol' Dodge, I figured I would throw in my own little twist.
The 'carbs' sit on Holley 4 barrel throttle plates and two were used because they flow 425 cfm each. If you've ever seen the pic of the propane powered '68 or '69 Charger that was campagned back then, it had a near identical setup only differences being it had 600 cfm units and the regulators were mounted vertically.

So far as engine mods go, I used a 68 block punched .030", steel crank cut .010/.010, TRW 6pak replacements, MP 284/484 cam, 906 heads with hardened seats and stainless valves. Only thing I had trouble with was cam timing. I originally set it up 4 degrees advanced and it would barely run. Thought about trying retarded cam timing but opted for straight up. Up here propane is 60 cents/liter where premium is over a buck. Propane has higher octane although it's critical to keep the incoming air cool if you're running higher comp ratios. Phoenix summertime traffic was hard on her, Would detonate like mad if I layed into it after sitting a a traffic light for a couple of minutes.

Yes I said Ford, Get this it took a mopar guy to fix a ford LOLOLOL I had to put a water pump in his truck, It blew on him when he got to the show and he was from out of town and had no tools or any idea as to how to fix it . So being the good guy that I am I fixed it for him. He ended up taking first place in his class for his truck and got a huge trophie and a 100.00 bucks he gave me the hun for fixing his truck.. COOl HUH!!!!! Any how this sunday the 2nd of May is my Daughters schools out door show , So this will be the big show for the truck at her school , her friends will get to see the truck that she worked on before we lost her. From what I hear they can,t wait to see it . I don,t care if I win a $12.00 trophie at this show I will be just as happy to see that her friends got to see her truck. I just pray for sunshine and not rain ...... I will let you guys know how thing went...

by the way, I don't know if I told everyone on the 440 thread, but I have 2 siblings, both born on the same MDH number, and 7 vehicles appart going down the assemble line. One is a loaded orange ramcharger se 440, and the other one is a loaded power wagon adventurer se 440. they were both sold at the dealership here in Dinuba, CA.

Well I tell ya the Met Black is not so bad. the thing is that you will need almost 2 gallons of it if you are doing the truck inside and out and use a black primer or base coat first before painting because the Met black is very transparant. I found this out with a Grey primer base. Cost me about 700.00 for the Paint and reducer and hardener to do My Warlock..

but the cool thing is that you will probably have one of the few metalic black macho ramchargers around, let alone it is a loaded up 440 one at that. it will be worth it for sure!!!

I agree with that Ric. If your looking to make a livimg doing this you'll go broke quick. If its for fun & hobby then it's great. I'll be at Carlisle, going to see what all Danny has and buy anything I might need from him, as well as trying to fill my shopping list from all the other vendors ther too. We will see you there Ric. I hope to see any of the rest of you all there as well. Look for the red & white 77 swb Adventurer SE 440 in the truck area. Hope to see ya there.

Well you did beat me to the punch Ric. We just got back from Carlisle had a great time. Nice to finally meet you Ric and put a face with a name. Will post a few pics that we took tomorrow. Truck did great the whole trip never gave a minutes trouble. Had a good time going through Gettysburg on Thursday while we were there.
Maybe next year Ric if you can get your paint guy on the move we will have our trucks setting side by side.

Of 440 trucks very few. There was a 74 lwb 4x4 that had 440 with edlebrock f.i. on it that was nice, a really rough lwb 4x4 73'(i think), A nice 77 440 se Ramcharger. And thats about it. as far as trucks in general there were tons of them in every class. Never did see any Macho trucks. There were about 7 or 8 Lil reds. Don't remeber seeing any Warlocks either. I spent 90% of my weekend in the parts senction so I might have missed some of the trucks.

Mopar had a contest to see what people could build from the new Hemi engine. There was a snow blower with a hemi, a outdoor grill for cooking that was somehow powered by a hemi, there was this merry-go-round that was powered by a hemi.

Well thats all the pics for now till I find that other camera disc, those darn XD cards are so small it could be hiding anywhere. When I find it I will share.

On the question of parts. There were quite a few parts for trucks there several vendors all they had were truck parts. There was alot of high priced junk also. I guess someone might pay those prices for some of the stuff I saw but not me.

Also I said earlier that I didn't see a Warlock, I remembered seeing one in the car corral for sale. It had a 392 Hemi in it for $32,000.

Thats what I have often ponder doing myself, keep the grill with it's little scatches in it for when I drive it and a nice show quality one for when I show and just swap it out at the show. Just have to be very careful hauling it around and swapping it.

Hey Ric any new news from your painter.
I went and talked to my painter about possibly taking my truck in this winter and completly redoing it. I am considering this the paint on my truck is 10 years old and beging to show it's age. If I do I will take it down in September and take it to him.

Holy cow I go to a show for 2 days and all you guys can do is talk Grill talk..... Ok here is how it is I drive the truck to alll the shows , some of them are anywere to 250 miles away. And I just got a rock thrown into my grill this week end at one of the shows I was going to not a big dent more like a ding, But if it was one of thoses 600.00 USD grills in there and that Happend , Boy would I be upset.... as for switching grills for drive or show that would just lead into getting scatches or chips in the paint and I don,t wanna deal with that either, I seem to get them in my rear fenders from my tires as it is So I just wanted something that looked a bit nicer than what I have without spending big bucks and have it wrecked from a stone.... Oh by the way I brought home a nother trophy for stock truck this week end at the MOPARS AT THE RANCH SHOW in Vernon B.C
Posted By: adventurer

Re: 440 trucks - 07/25/05 03:43 AM

congrats Black Warlock on your trophy.
On the subject of the grill I understand your driving your truck to shows, I do the same thing. Just did that to go to Carlisle PA, about 420 miles one way and rocks do happen when you drive. I have several small dings in mine from driving to shows. Keep looking maybe you'll find a grill you can live with that is in your price range. Your grill in your truck must not be to bad for you to keep brining home those trophies.

Re: 440 trucks - 07/26/05 02:05 PM

for that price he would need documentation, alot of it. esp a 76. hell it could just be a 440 stepside. he mentions 25 built. how would he know that. 76 warlocks didn't have "warlock specific" codes to distinguish them. plus, in 76 there were 70 D13BD6's know to have been built and 25 were warlocks??

nice truck, but he won't even come close to his asking price.

Thinking a period correct restoration. Cragars, shaved handles, rollpan, tuck and roll interior, either lift off hood or a tilt front clip. Dark purple paint and extra chrome.

The starting bid is more in line with the worth of the truck but I'm sure he didn't change his reserve probably still way high considering it needs restoring.

ihave to agree to disagree (/?)
i like the 74-76 the best.

but the 79-80 dual quad just has a nice classy attitude.

77-78 i like best on RC's. don't know why they just look good on those.

Actually prefer the 74-76 Plymouth TD grille. I wonder what the 78 would look like with a 76 grille? The 77-78 is my least favorite grille from 72-80 too hard to find a decent driver one and looks

someone new there way around the order sheet. odd color combo and options.
would you post the letter you got from chrysler about the 74 built. i would like to see that.
only cuz you state that long, short and stepside.

that number i believe is only for short and longbed versions. the D14's.
stepsides were D13's and club's D17's.

who else believes there were more than 74 built.

Re: 440 trucks - 08/06/05 01:44 AM

I am sorry if I offended anyone with my opinion on the 77-78 grille. I appologize, but I still don't like them.

As for the letter, I am attaching a copy of it. I'm not a computer geek so if it does come out, you will notice I covered over some personal identifiers with electrical tape.

As for the total produced, when I first wrote to Chrysler I was expecting to hear that about 200 or so were built. This was based on my own observations, opinion and sincere belief that I was some sort of a wiz on Mopars of that era. I was surprised at their response, but as for now, this is the best information I have available and it is from the cats who built the truck.

If you will notice in my ads for the truck, here and on ebay, I state that I have a letter from Chrysler that states 74 were produced. This is true; however, it also serves as a disclaimer to a certain extent. It would be totally different if I were to definatively state there were only "X" number produced.

I hope the letter attachment works. It is similar format to other such letters I have seen from Chrysler at car shows and such.

In my request to Chrysler for the production figure, I also asked for the last date of production for a 440 D-150. This was because my truck has a mid May 1978 build date and yes I was hoping to find out mine was the last one!

Seems those who don't own D14BD8S trucks feel there were alot more produced.

The letter is dated from 1995 too, perhaps they had the records still at that point.

That is one nice truck you have D14BD8S. Thanks for posting that letter.

Re: 440 trucks - 08/06/05 07:52 AM

Hey Guys wazzzzzup???????
well I have had just the best thing happen to me I found a grill for my truck and it has NO dents and very minor scratches,,, In fact you have to get really close up to see them. All for the sum of 200.00 bucks Canadian and that works out to about 160.00 USD to you guys in the US. So I think I scored well and Ric I will post a pic of it when I clean all the dust off it. It was hanging in this guys garage for about 3 years. He told me about it when I was at the last show with the truck , so I got my Butt over there ASAP to see it Any how how has things been going for eveyone else????? Oh yeah Man is it hot over here the weather has been just Awsome

my computer sucks. can't open adobe. darn it.

i have VIN's on 12 D14's. that's 16.2% of the total. that doesn't include the stepsides and clubs. which is why i believe more were built if Chrysler is grouping all 150's together.

D14BD8S, i wasn't knocking you. just curious to see the letter,(which i still am, lol).
like i said your truck is weirdly optioned compared to others. which should make it "shall i say a 1 of 1" nice catch for someone who won't see another like it.

if 74 is the number, I have owned 2 of them, and still have 1 of them left, 1978's D14bd8s trucks that is. if it doesn't meet your reserve, I would be currious to talk to you more about it.

if 74 is the number, I have owned 2 of them, and still have 1 of them left, 1978's D14bd8s trucks that is. if it doesn't meet your reserve, I would be currious to talk to you more about it.

Quote:

I am sorry if I offended anyone with my opinion on the 77-78 grille. I appologize, but I still don't like them.

As for the letter, I am attaching a copy of it. I'm not a computer geek so if it does come out, you will notice I covered over some personal identifiers with electrical tape.

As for the total produced, when I first wrote to Chrysler I was expecting to hear that about 200 or so were built. This was based on my own observations, opinion and sincere belief that I was some sort of a wiz on Mopars of that era. I was surprised at their response, but as for now, this is the best information I have available and it is from the cats who built the truck.

If you will notice in my ads for the truck, here and on ebay, I state that I have a letter from Chrysler that states 74 were produced. This is true; however, it also serves as a disclaimer to a certain extent. It would be totally different if I were to definatively state there were only "X" number produced.

I hope the letter attachment works. It is similar format to other such letters I have seen from Chrysler at car shows and such.

In my request to Chrysler for the production figure, I also asked for the last date of production for a 440 D-150. This was because my truck has a mid May 1978 build date and yes I was hoping to find out mine was the last one!






Ok I'm confussed now,
There an issue Of Chrysler Power back in the earlys 90's that said there were 74 Midnight express trucks made in 78.
When I contacted the Chrysler Historical back in 00 they said that due to poor Record keeping the prouduction #s on trucks pre -80 are extremly Vague they know how many total units for each year but to break it down , short bed vs long bed , stepside vs Fleet side , engine option its anyones guess
after 80 when they went to the 13 digit vin records are little clearer,
This is just what I've come across, ( keep in mind I'm a Converted ford guy 5 years clean & ford free)
Oh yea leave the Bumperets off the warlock

yes, i will have camera in hand. always do. hehehe.

i know sometimes mapquest takes a roundabout way.

well, give me your hotel address and i will look it up and give you directions. i just need to see what part of columbus you are staying at.
it's really easy to get there.

i'll tell ya what i take. i follow I-70 east bound and get off at exit 122 and follow it north to first stop light(about 1-2miles) and turn right(east 40) and follow it about 3-5 miles and you can't miss it.

Mine has them. Wife backed into my truck a couple of months ago and pretty much flattened the left bumper guard. Makes the third vehicle she has backed into in our drive. uggg..
I warn folks not to park behind her now days and "encourage" her to back up to the house.
She seems not to want to hit it! LOL.
I like the bumper guards, but may have to take them off since now it looks like it has a broke nose. BTW, nice fish! & your daugher looks to be about 3 years old??

JY find of the day:

D37BD7S213555

Found it behind a fence today at a JY I like to haunt often. It was sitting in a *restricted* area so I slipped past the open gate,wrote down the VIN and scampered off before I could be seen.

Looked like a cool truck,2wd dually,club cab,440/auto,originally met. green with green interior. Sad part is it was a police tow (abandoned on a roadside) Sorry,no pics,didn't have the camera and didn't even think I'd find anything interesting...

Unfortunately,this place doesn't sell anything out of the yard as a whole. I have lost out on some decent parts/project trucks due to that. I was rifling throught the interior (still kinda looking for some door panels) but it was the darker green interior than my td has.

That describes a truck I had right to the t. I traded it off in Denver, CO about 6 years ago on a new club cab ram, and they didn't give me much for it. I bought it off a guy who moved here from Cali, all the emissions equipment and a/c was functional. Had about 60,000 original miles on it.

Re: 440 trucks - 09/13/05 01:46 PM

very cool!!!

i think if i ever had a truck i could do it my way. i would definetly use the woodgrain trim. i've always thought about getting the trim airbrushed to look like wood instead of trying to find the real thing. i've yet to see any in Mi.

Re: 440 trucks - 09/27/05 04:50 PM

Finally got the big truck back together. Now has a lot of head work done on the Stage 5's. 2.14 intakes/1.81 exhaust valves, new guides, new springs, ridiculous amount of porting and polishing. New Isky .525 cam to replace the .484 purple stripe. New forward pattern manual valve body and Turbo Action 3800 converter. Front end weight loss by removing all the A/C and heater stuff. Hopefully I'll get to try it out this weekend. It will either go 7.50's or better in the 1/8 mile or it'll go to the scrap yard.

Re: 440 trucks - 09/28/05 02:14 PM

Is everyone telling me that they don't have enough confidence in the 440 that it will push that big old truck to a 7.50 in the 1/8 mile. I will admit the best it has run was an 8.53 but that was when it wouldn't shift, up against the rev limiter, with different heads, cam, carburetor, converter, valve body, etc. Only time will tell and I'll let Bryce know which scrap yard. He's closest and will probably be able to get there first.

Posted By: ram87

Re: 440 trucks - 10/02/05 06:54 PM

It didn't go good but a lot of exceuses for not putting it in the scrap yard. It went 8.18, 8.19, 8.13 and 8.12. Misread the time slip on the first pass. My best 60' was on the first pass 1.81. Should have gone up in launch rpm from there but went down. On the 8.12 pass the 60' was 1.84. Tires are to big and it wants more rpm. Only had a 6000 chip. Next time smaller tires with a 6500 chip and it'll be in the 7's no problem. And the density altitude was at 2500 or more so at sea level it would have been in the 7's. It'll make it.

Went to a little outdoor show Saturday (88 cars). Actually had a couple of Dodge pickups in the '73-2005 Pickup class. I won first in class again. The old truck cleans up pretty good, but enjoy not doing a killer clean job for an indoor show.

Re: 440 trucks - 10/17/05 05:19 PM

Good thing I gave the big truck another chance before going to the scrap yard. Took the big tires off (33X18.5X15 M/T ET's) and put the tires off the little truck (29X11X15 Hoosiers) on the big truck. Friday night first pass had a 1.71 60' and ran a 7.96. Second pass had a 1.71 60' and ran a 7.92. It ran in the 7's and I'm happy. Think it would probably run some mid 7's at sea level and with a little tuning but don't want to go the roll bar route with the big truck so have to stay at 7.50 or above.

It's seems like a pretty loaded up truck with AC,PS,PB factory tach am/fm cb radio and the skylight sunroof. Also does any one have the glass for one of these factory skylight sunroofs.

I'm finally able to post something on this thread. I just bought the macho powerwagon in VA. with the 440 four barrel. Does any body know the numbers on this truck as to how many were made. It's rusted pretty bad, but they usually are over here. I plan on doing the resto this winter and I'm going to do this truck up right. It's seems like a pretty loaded up truck with AC,PS,PB factory tach am/fm cb radio and the skylight sunroof. Also does any one have the glass for one of these factory skylight sunroofs. I have a idea it's going to be a hard item to find.
Thanks Ryan





I have a spare but they are expensive!

Re: 440 trucks - 11/21/05 03:08 AM

the original owner made them,,,they were on top,,,but he put a cap on so he moved them to the side,,,I almost took em off when I restored the truck,,,but I like the way they look,,,I guess they were for tie downs or hand rails

Re: 440 trucks - 12/20/05 08:55 PM

Greetings,

Its been a quite a long time since I posted on this site. To make a long story short I had to part with one of my projects, my 70' Challenger that was in really bad shape, or my fairly solid 78' Ramcharger. The Challenger now has a new home...

I can now spend my time and money on my Ramcharger. Its a 1978 440 4x4 SE that is absolutely loaded.

I think I made the right choice

Ric on the 518 swap I looked at that but on the ones I've seen you have to cut the ear off on the rear of the block that sticks out where the starter is mounted because the starter is in a lower postion with the 518. I just couldn't bring myself to do that to my block. Maybe you have found some other bell that will work without cutting the block. Can't wait till Carlisle. Our trucks side by side will make a neat display. Hows your painting coming along on the 77', haven't heard an update on it in a while.

I'm think of taking the wife....since she is in shipping we are looking at getting the ute to baltimore on one of her boats and meeting it there. looks be a simple 3hr drive(?). If the cost isn't real crazy I'd prefer to ship it then drive.

All I need is some sort of mechanical issiue to happen on the drive down and i'b be screwed! It would take a couple of days each way! This way I can meet it there and go!

Factor in fuel and hassle hotels driving time etc. shipping is looking real good! I'll pack the ute with Keiths if I send it!

It is the same weekend as the nats. I just got the quote for shipping and it was only $240 usd return with her employee discount...

That plain sucks it looks as if the ute will go to body shop next week and I'm taking the frame for my 72 fargo off to get blasted and painted tomorrow! Won't have the fargo done but the ute is looking good for spring! Progress is happening but I'm not going to miss a huge show that is only 3hrs from me.

Re: 440 trucks - 01/06/06 01:44 AM

That's to bad. That sounded like it would have been a nice trip shipping by boat( Thats not Paul Martin ship is it), Anyway Moncton always looks good ..Have been on the website before and also saw it on My Classic Car. I'am still making plans for Mopar in PA. That means I have to bring the Keiths!!
Posted By: SANDYinNS Canada

Re: 440 trucks - 01/06/06 04:32 AM

Wife seems like she's up for the US trip? The logistics are pretty easy, but I had a great time last year in Moncton....She stayed with friends there and had a great time too. Kids had a ball.

If I put a sign in the ute looking for interesting trades who knows Carlise could land me a prize ( trade for 71 bee?)? As far as I know it is only one of that body style in North America! Unless OZ hemi brings one over I'd say I'm ok.

I'm some stressd that it is same weekend. I would really like to put some faces to the names here on Moparts.....I enjoy the truck section a bunch IF you guys make it the place to go in 06 it may be hard not to go?????

I like the 77 truck just fine! I just really think the 76 is going to look awesome with the alpine white and wood trim. The 77 reminds me of my 80RC in a way, big motor and SE model but no a/c,cruise.


The 77 is the go-fast truck and the 76 is the old man special. When you finish the 76 is the 77 going away, old man?

They were called Californian trucks! They were shipped without fenders and the fiberglass fenders were installed and custom graphics added before they were sold new.


They are rarer then a warlock or lil red! Remember rare does not always mean valuable.

I am pretty sure they were not Cheby fenders, they were fiberglass and had the step molded into the fender, and I believe they were from Dodge, I have a set hanging in my garage. The Cheby fenders were steel and had a seperate step.


One thing I noticed about his post..... He says that the tank was moved from behind the seat....didnt Dodge stop doing that in 73-74 ish? and he states that this truck is a 77?

Well on the tank issue there were still some 77 with the in cab tank. SWB that had dual tanks, like my truck had 1 tank in the bed and one tank in the cab. I have learned that there are some SWB that have both tanks in the bed.

Well I guess it's time for me to learn here again. Were there really any SWB 2wd 440 4spd trucks built. I know I've seen a 1ton 440/4spd and a 400/4spd 4x4 3/4ton but never swb 2wd. Were there any of these really built?

Sounds like a great project DrDodge. You'll have people wondering what's a Fargo. Lots of people have never heard of them.

Sounds like a great project DrDodge. You'll have people wondering what's a Fargo. Lots of people have never heard of them.




Mine was US southern truck I brought bach here in 99 The fargo stuff I scrounged local it will look right! Just picked up the frame freshly blasted and painted.

It was a 318 3 on tree orig. No options.I added pw,pl ps pb and cruise before I took it apart. I have the 440 from my 70 300 with a set of new mounts bb oil pan and a set of tti headers. I have a 23 spine 833 and the proper hump for the floor,a new rug .Tinted glass and whole bunch of other stuff I've put away to do the truck.

When i get further I might even have some pics to post!

only 2wd 4speed trucks that were big blocks from the factory were the 400 4speed in a 1/2 ton, and i have seen 1 of those in a jy about 2 years ago, what a shame, it was a 78 adv se swb truck!!




and you didn't save it??



I wanted too, but it was hit hard in the front, and looked like it had bad dammage to it. medium tan metalic/cashmere tan center with caramel se interior.

Yeah that was the question, 2wd swb 1/2 440 4spd's, were there any built?

But if there were 4x4's as Macho state's there probably were 2wd's, maybe??

Re: 440 trucks - 02/12/06 05:23 PM

I doubt that 400 np 435's are all that rare I parted oiut a club cab 73 d200 that equipped that way. Most of the drive train is destined for my 76 d 200. I first found the truck when I needed a dana. It donated the center sectionto my 76...I then robbed it of the black adventured interior and the power brake/steering for my 72.

The truck was at a friends salvage yard the ownwer kept the 400 and the 435...I tracked him down and bought that last summer it was low mile rebuild and came complete with the rad/carb exhaust manifolds and even the wiring harness and all the pulleys and ps pump....a complete big block swap kit!

Well are you going to buy it and drive it back?

On your full weeks vacation I know the feeling. I haven't had a full week at one time in I can't remember when, probably 15 years. We always take just long weekends and travel to shows(mainly car & truck shows but dog shows and fish shows. Lots of hobbies ).But this year I am and going to take the family to Disney at first full week of June. Family is really looking forward to it. I am really looking forward to Carlisle though.

No adapter,just a bell for the 440,Got it at JW , Cut the bellhousing off the 518 and bolt their bell on, no real mods,lower the crossmember and shorten the driveshaft,gonna wire a hidden push button in the truck,wire a pressure switch to the 3rd clutch and also install a vaccum switch.see the link....and scroll to the bottom to 518 conversions.

So your using a non-lock converter 518 trans? Is that jw bell about $280? What about getting a 90-93 2x truck 518 cross member and d-shaft? Are you using the switchs from that site?

How are you building it as far as clutchs etc? Shift kit? Which rebuild kit?

Let's get some pics. When does the building start?

Using the non-lock-up trans,don't want to worry about the clutch,and yes gonna use their switches,easier that way, gonna use a later model cross memeber and fabricate it,NO cutting up the org...actually gonna be easy,show ya ,when I get the lift in...

Why do you need to fab the newer crossmember? Should be a bolt-in right? Or does the JW bell move the trans back sightly? Or is it to keep from drilling more holes in the frame?

When does the lift go in?

Thanx for the JW web link 440se, what year 518 are you using? I would like to do some more of my own research on this, but am not sure on the cutoff for the NON lock up tranny.
GREAT LOOKING GARAGE btw.
Posted By: 70Challengerse

Re: 440 trucks - 03/16/06 06:32 PM

Not sure on the years,thinking 89-92 on the non lock-up.I am mainly sticking to a non lock-up because I can reuse my old torq converter,I had it modified to match the 440,was way to tight,as far as a shift kit,gonna make pretty much my own,with alittle help from a transco kit.If you can only find a lock-up,thats ok too,use the clutch or have it omited,you don't need it to work.76440,I don't want to drill holes,so I'm gonna find one in a yard and modify it to fit,thats the beauty of having a lift.. and the correct tools,oh yeah before you ask,I am building the trans and I am expecting 2nd and 3rd gear chirps...

Re: 440 trucks - 03/25/06 07:42 PM

I don't know all the codes/options and stuff, but it had factory A/C, Heavy Duty Suspension, Heavy duty brakes, 400-2bbl, 3.21 9 1/4, Front Disc, Power Brakes and Steering, 4 core radiator, Cruise Control, 2 speed wipers, red bench seat interior.

My bad, Just noticed this thread is all about 440 Trucks.

It will have a 440+ ci engine in it soon, but it won't be a RB 440. More like 451 looking like a 400.

I am in the process of hunting down black interior pieces, a 40-20-40 LRE style Bucket Seats, a solid and straight tailgate, and alot of other parts.

Re: 440 trucks - 03/27/06 03:48 AM

I haven't been on here in a couple of week. I had open heart surgery on the 15 of Mar. and just managed to get to the office tonight to check my e-mail. Guess I'm going to have to get rid of all my toys so my 446" Ram and my '97 Dakota and all the R3/W8 stuff will be for sale soon. May keep the Hemi truck but may have to trade the Hemi for my wife's Durango. Any interest in my junk can be sent to Lynn Dillingham, 1026 Reeves, Abilene,Tx. 79602. I don't have e-mail or internet @ home and this will be my last trip to the office for awhile.

Re: 440 trucks - 04/07/06 04:25 PM

Not sure.... Found out the red truck has a 74 cast crank 440 probably out of a motorhome. Don't want to drop the coin on the motor&trans for that truck right now. Have a 518/205 combo so probably use this in the 4x.

But I do agree the beer fridge would have to be full. (After the truck was done ) of corse..... I won,t work on a truck half cut and Ric won,t let anyone touch his truck if your half cut . Thats a good rule to have . all thoe I have done some awsome paint jobs when I was half cut ( go figure ). Any how I fell Ric will make it for the show .. Good luck and may the force be with you

Actually looked pretty good in the pics. The way you talked about working the truck and the bed liner you had in there prior I figured the bed would be wavy.

Even the color looks better. This guy Barry is a miracle worker. Any relation to the Canadian?

Re: 440 trucks - 05/30/06 12:55 AM

Posted By: 70Challengerse

Re: 440 trucks - 05/31/06 02:25 AM

Yah Larry, had to plate the old hole over and make the correct hole,was no big deal though,AS far as the mud Barry,the truck has very little,as a body guy yourself, he was using that much and feathering it back, because the body lines suck... poss 1/16 of an inch at the end result,darn body lines are not coperating,he wants it done this weekend!!!!! ah ok we will see.... pics to continue as the trans goes in and final body preps,just giving you the gears Barry! couldn't resist....

Re: 440 trucks - 06/01/06 07:00 AM

yup, and leave it there......
your truck was a radio delete from the factory, and is hard to find a fender without the hole in it.
just my 2 cents anyhow......
you still wanting to get rid of it?
Posted By: smokn440

Re: 440 trucks - 06/01/06 04:15 PM

thats right,,,the original owner said it was a radio delete,,,,but there is a hole there,,,,did it have a factory plug???have a stereo for it that I still havnt installed,,going to put an aftermarket electric antenna

Re: 440 trucks - 06/07/06 01:57 AM

Ok,Got the trans against the block,have to admit , went right into place,has enough torq convertor space,only thing I have noticed,around the rear support is tight and I extended the pressure switch for clearance,gonna have to make alittle room around the support,about a 1/2 inch of so for the correct angle,this is a quick pic and is not finished,gonna raise the trans about another 1/2 inch,so far the only fabrication is gonna be for the shifter linkage,gonna install a Lokar kit for throttle pressure,gonna finish up some small crap tomorrow,hopefully this weekend ,if the driveshaft is done a trail test on the lift...

Re: 440 trucks - 06/25/06 06:45 PM

When it's done right, the big wheels look good. Tucked up in the fenders with a low stance is just hot! But when you have to raise the suspension and body to clear 20" rims, it just looks rediculous. Unless you have a 4x4 truck, nothing should be raised, the lower the better. With a 4x4, the higher the better. There is a camaro and a regal running around town here, jacked up and rolling on 20's that look absolutely hilarious!

Re: 440 trucks - 07/02/06 08:55 PM

Well so far about 20 miles and no real problems,just minor crap,but I did manage to lose my left mirror,glad only the rubber hit the paint and not the glass,lost the rubber though,got spares, gonna get a new glass made tomorrow and rear view,don't have the tach in at this moment,sending off to have it done right,but the overdrive is great,about 55 ,prob about 1,800 rpm,don't even hear the engine rev,just cruises along,Carlilse should be no problem, back and forth 3 days,approx 100 miles aday. If Larry can drive 400 miles one way and stay here and drive it up with me(with the 3 speed) geez I should have no problem....Thursday will be the final buff and detail night,looks like Larry(adventurer) will share the same garage as mine for acouple nights... pics to follow

sounds good Ric.
this time i am going to be patient and buy from somebody who is honest not that little idiot. he has my cash and says he will return it when he feels like it. if i make him mad he says he will keep it. i should forward you the emails for a laugh. the funny part is this is 100% my fault, i dealt with him once before and posted here on moparts my bad deal, then i go deal with him again, i should lose the money just for being so stupid. lol

when your ready with the grill that will be fine with me.

I like how that JT always sits his products on mopar boxs making you think there nos when there original take offs. He does that with almost every thing. I bought a nos bumper with rust pits under the green paint.
I cant wait to see your 440 macho there next year. The only pic I've seen of it is that one. I could not beleive there wasn't any macho's there this year, that i saw. I was only there Saterday. Are you in the middle of doing your 440 macho all over?

It measures correct,but the hinge attached to the glass is broken,both of them and the screws holding the hinge are rusted pretty bad.They would have to be drilled or ground off.The latch assembly is metal and plastic and I didn't know if that was right.Its also rusted pretty bad.I was going back this week with my camera...I should have taken it the first time,to take some pics.

If I were closer Ric I'd come help you get the trans fixed but its a little bit to much of a drive. Been working on mine tonight,got the volt & vac gauge also the NOS clock in place and working, getting ready for a little local truck show they have here every year usally about 30 or 40 trucks mostly brand x stuff but I still go anyway just to have a good time showing my truck off. It's all just in fun could care less about the trophies.

Well the trans is back in, and works flawlessly,even the wife says its works nice,she wasn't in it since I took the shift kit out anyway the problem was my mistake,when you purchase these ultrabells for this mod,take your time and make sure the bell is flush,mine was not( sure looked like it was until I pulled the bell back off) One section of the pump gasket blew out and I was losing alot of pressure(neutraling out when hot)but all is better and I even like it more now!

glad to hear that the transmission is back in the truck, and no problems after the repair, that is going to be a nice driver combo, and provide SWEET fuel mileage for the 440 trucks!!!

Just talked to Ric he has been driving his truck since he got his overdrive fixed and it is working great.

I went to a junkyard today and found myself an overdrive for my truck. Will be there in the next couple of weekends pulling it out. Well before the next Carlisle trip mine will be overdrived as well.

I stopped and briefly looked at an interesting truck today that I have never seen or heard of. It is a 77 power wagon that looked to be russet sunfire?? (faded of course), and had decals down the side that said SNO COMMANDER.
Posted By: MachoMan

Re: 440 trucks - 08/22/06 11:38 PM

they are pretty common in northern states. well, not really anymore, but 10-15yrs ago.
unless, your referring to a 440 sno commander. then, yes, that would be first one i've seen too.

i don't have a good pic of stripe, i think sam has one.

Well?
Well I finally hit a real show(so I thought) placed 2nd, lost to a Ford that looked like they wired wheeled under the hood,fraid wires, you name it,my jaw dropped,yeah well,lot of people pissed,this was my first time there.Never again,doesn't anyone judge shows anymore that isn't biased? I did get burnt though...

Re: 440 trucks - 09/06/06 03:01 AM

Ric,
Congrats on 2nd place. I know your disappointed but I know from going to shows and organizing shows the judges at the shows are just volunteers that try to do the best they can but usually end up picking the vehicle that appeals to them, even if the vehicle it beats out is in better shape or had more done to it. Just go to the shows have fun and don't worry about the trophies. Their just a $10 piece of plastic. Man you got a great looking truck take it to the shows and be proud.

Enough to build something with and your stash of parts & trucks you can build about anything. 78 Palomino 440 SE swb. Just a thought.

Right. I haven't been "out that way" since I moved from Idaho to Ohio 8 years ago. And before that I was in Phoenix, Az for 8 years. If I could afford a trip to California, I could afford parts for my truck. I would love to see your "ranch" though. Those Palomino trucks are awesome!!

Re: 440 trucks - 10/09/06 12:34 AM

This cab had a fuel tank in it once ( I always thought 75 was the last year for fuel tanks in the cab.) the door sticker has defently be removed , has void all over it.
The other thing is when I 1st saw this truck in the mid 80s it had clearence lights, & now theres no holes in the top of the cab.
she looks good in Pictures , but she needs a lot of cab help . the door jams are broken out in the corners, but the rockes are good I guess thats a good start, tomorrow I'm go to weld the cab tank opening close & fix the bottom drivers side cab corner.
Thanks

Re: 440 trucks - 10/09/06 12:49 AM

Duel tank short beds still had a cab tank in some 77's. My 77 swb has a cab tank and bed tank, but best I can figure out east coast 77 trucks used a cab tank and bed tank while west coast dual tanks were both in the bed in 77. That's what I have been able to gather from my research and the trucks I have seen.

Re: 440 trucks - 10/09/06 11:13 AM

I found it kind of curious that my 77 W200 had a cab tank when I bought it as well.It was a local garages' tow truck when I bought it. Has the PTO off the t-case with a shaft that runs back the DS of the frame to run the winch in the bed.Don't know if it ever had a frame tank.Was a farm truck when new.
