Default '89 Dodge D150 360

Hello guys , I found this one about a year ago , it had been sitting for the last 16years , and I tought I should fix it up... not the brightest idea but I had some free time.

being a mexican truck d-150 means 6cyl , base truck d-250 are v8 or more upscale models. it had a slant and a clarck t-190 4speed on it , the plan was to get it into drivable state but then I found a BIG hole on the side of the block and things snowballed from there.

How I found it

and this is how it sits now , got the front fixed up first time my friend cutted the coils with a torch and on top of that they where for the 6cyl truck so it was really low and saggy. I found some d250 coilsprings and cutted it with a saw and that fixed the height and the ride aswell
