It's coming home this week!

Been waiting about three months to get a chance to head back to the Pac NW to pick up my baby.


1978 D200, 440/727 Andventurer/Prospector, 78K miles, one owner before me.

Woo Hoo!

Gonna use that to haul your "there trip" vehicle back?

I was originally going to ride the V65 Sabre out there and haul it back in the bed.

But after looking at what fuel would cost with the 440 and 4.10s, I realized it is cheaper to just drive out with the Cummins and a trailer and drag it back.

Very cool. Don't often see 4 doors in those years

Leaving Chicago for Portland now. Wish me luck!

Safe travels.
It's not too far out of your way so you can drop the '78 off at my house and I'll check it out for you.

Awesome find, keep us posted!

Awesome! I love the two tone colors it has!!!

We are getting closer to home. Just over 3K miles so far. I just discovers that the 35 gallon tank in my borrowed 12 valve Ram is only effectively 31.37 gallons. And that once the fuel light comes on just under a quarter tank, you can only go 17.3 miles at 50 MpH pulling 8K lbs...

Fortunately, the 440 in the '78 was more than up to the task of pulling the Ram.

More truck porn. The front seat is very nice under the cover, BTW.

Tan interior does it for me!

Cool truck! Congrats.

I'd love to find one to do a Cummins swap with my 92 CC.

Diggin' the interior! Sweet ride!

Welcome to the Two Tone Crew Club!

I made her earn her keep for the last leg home.

Never even know it was back there.

I have been hoarding aluminum slots for quite some time. I think I have a home for a set of 8 lugs now. (after a little drop)


Whadyathink??

why are you taking up 3 parking spots? just kidding

I think the aluminum slots look great on that truck

LuLz.

This is before the "Photodrop"

So much nicer with the Slots.

Love the slots.....they look perfect on the truck

Thank you. Need to get some rime and cash to make it a reality.

Been DDing it to work the past week. I really love driving this thing (except those godawful mirrors)

And I just got the clock working again!



It's the little things right now ...

Me three! Nice truck....I'm might be getting one here soon I hope.

(except those godawful mirrors)
Wanna trade?

I have the original mirrors to the truck that I will install when I straighten out the doors. Not going to drill more holes in the doors for those.

She's been doing a little work for me lately.
