No pics, but as I've said before, yours is nearly a clone of my 1990 that I bought spankin' brand new October of 1989, also a V6 5-speed. Mine had a cloth seat, and that same horrible tape stripe. Funny, my passenger door got damaged... Anyway, best Dodge I ever bought (rather leased)! Enough power for my uses (home renovations), honest 24mpg in daily driving, and just plain nice truck! I should have never turned it in at the end of the lease. No pics of the truck, here is the house it helped renovate! It was boarded up and abandoned when I bought it.

Wish I could find something like that for $300 as a decent starting point for a little short bed hot rod.

I really like the Black 92 CTD dually, I just got my 92 D150 out of the paint shop, had the right door repainted ( had a weird crack /peel in the paint) had the area behind the door done also( the paint was thin since it was new ) and I took off the rear bumper and added a roll pan and had it and the tailgate repainted. I`ll take pictures the next time I have it out of the garage. I raced it at E Town yesterday, I lost second round but got a few on the ride home.

hadf my one weekend off a month a dove into pulling the warmed over 318 auto out of my rusted to death '87 to put in my '88. Gonna pull the V6 and dying 5 speed. Got the engine/trans out of the '87, then had to dig up the septic tank to get it cleaned, then ran out of gas and ambition. This stuff sure isn't as easy as it used to be!

89 W150 318 w/ a 727. 200,000 miles or so. Drove it daily for 4 years, withstood numerous burnouts. Has bucket seats from a newer Dakota and a center console from an 04 Ram. One day I'll restore it and put the step side bed I have for it on. Also had a wrecked 92 fully loaded W150 that I bought and parted out.

My 86 RC work truck. 318/auto/241. Originally a 360 the p.o. dropped in a stock 318 with 340 intake and carter comp series carb. Found out also it has a 3.21 sure grip out back.
I have a lower mile 360 I plan to drop in it when I get more $$ rolling in.

He's got one major thing to address right now. With the crossover steering when you are turning the force is applied to the side of the framerail and it moves an inch or so. He has to gusset the framerail or brace it. That will be addressed when the big block goes in. How do you guys like these rustfree 78 fenders that are now butchered and smashed?

Dodgeconnection had a steering bracket that helps fix the frame twist/flex.

Pinkduster are you going to the Macungie show ? I am bringing my D150 as they said I could enter even though its not 25 years old. I`ve been to their Florham Park N.J. show several times but never entered. It will be my first truck show with my D150 its not perfect but gets thumbs up and comments when I drive it, I`m looking forward to it. Your dually is sweet!

I hear ya! my tailgate was in good shape but the paint was chipped from hauling stone years ago , I touched it up but the paint didn`t match. The truck had a painted step bumper when I bought it new, I bought a used chrome one at Carlisle a few years ago and this past winter I bought a roll pan from Summit and installed it. I just got it out of the body shop about a month ago having the tailgate, roll pan, area behind pass.door ( paint was thin from the factory) and pass. door repainted ( had weird cracks in the paint ). Since I also race the truck I have M/T drag radials on M/T wheels on the rear, I took them off and put my regular street tires/wheels back on so they match the front just this afternoon. Our cool Dodges get looks and compliments when we drive them it will be interesting to see what the old truck crowd thinks. It will be my first time going there, Should be Cool!

got that nascar dirt track truck look with the petty blue and the steelies.
tuck the rears in a tad and drop it down some over the wheels...man it just makes me all giddy and want to dirt track a lap or two.

Here's our 1st generation Cummins, the green is a 1985 "Johnny Cash Special", we got it one piece at a time. The red one is a 1990 I restored in 2006 & sold it due to health issues, about a month ago a friend sees it listed in the local bulletin board so I brought it home again. Surprisingly it was in as good of shape as when I sold it. I used the 91-93 grill to allow for the intercooler on the 90 (I know they didn't start using intercoolers until 91, don't tell me something can't be done) and I just couldn't afford a NOS 85 grill for the green one.

I bought it for $4k in 99. Pretty sure the paint was relatively fresh then. The truck was originally silver and black, so maybe only the burgundy was fresh. The last time I saw I saw it in person was 3-4 years, and the silver was getting thin...Either way, the price IS a little optimistic. You have to remember that those of us in Ontario have to pay a premium for clean sheetmetal, and this truck was very nice, top and bottom. I still kick my own butt for selling it.
Nothing to see here. Carry on.
