'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

except a piece of the block and 1 rod

so it had to go out

long story short , I took the 360 out of the PW and bought a jy 727 for it.

yeah its dirty but I was in a real hurry , plus it will get cleaned down the road.

got the engine running !... not pretty or powerfull but it runs :drinking:

Attachment 50402

and the first time it went into a gas station after 16years

Attachment 50403

it was really low on the front , unconfortable actually but it looked cool

Attachment 50404

Attachment 50405

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
