Good looking truck Matt. Any particular plans for it?

[Matthew Welcher PWA]

Well, that depends on how it drives handles and runs. The previous owner gave it a very good review and is a very knowledgable Dodger.

Kicking around fuel injection, air lockers in both ends, on board air and some type of storage tank for it.

It has two additional fuel tanks and im not sure on fuel capacity. I do want to get all of them functioning.

For an engine it is the 440HP2 .030 over and a mild camshaft.

One can always dream but we will see what happens.

A fuel injected 440 and air lockers sound like a good plan, that is a real sharp looking truck. Has it been restored or is it all original? Must have at least been painted.

It has had some work done to it. The pictures I think make it look better than it could be. A 10 footer as they are called. But I plan on making it a daily driver So if it is too nice I would not want to use it.

The best part about an old truck is there history i think and making new friends as they go to a new home. And the prior owner of this truck is a fellow gearhead and I made a new friend so it is always worth it!

Nice Sweptline! Does the hood have a straight front lip? If so, the previous
owner did match it with that '68 grille.

I do not believe it does, I think I will have to put the 67 grill and pie pans in it.

Patiently waiting for truck and trailer to show up with it...

Ah, I understand wanting the correct year grille, but the '68 is like the 77/78 Grilles, they are Fabulous!

Air Lockers

You will need to know if the side gears on the Dana 44 are 19 spline or 30, I think that changed to 30 in '67. The 19 spline ARB RD18 has been discontinued. The side gears are still available, don't know if they will fit in the RD 116 30 spline unit.
19 spline option

Thanks For the heads up Leon.

It arrived last night around 11 pm. I haven't been all over it yet but am very

happy.

Off to the exhaust shop today. It needs a little carburetor work and a tune

up. Overall it is a pretty clean truck. Someone had installed a car alarm so

into a nest of wires i will go.
