Super rare super cool super desirable 1977 Dodge D100 Powerwagon half ton pickup, it's a 99% rust free truck having lived in a garage much of its life. It has been off the road for 15 years since the original owner stopped driving. This is a 1 owner Oregon high altitude truck with a high factory specification as follows-
Factory Powerwagon 4 wheel drive(permanent)
Original 318 cubic inch, 5200cc v8 motor
Original 3 speed automatic transmission
Original metallic russet brown paint never repainted
Original and unmodified apart from the steel wheels
Half ton short bed
Original Keys-door locks work
Original Owners manual
12 volt electrics
Power steering
Power brakes
Sliding rear window
All cab glass in excellent undamaged condition
Excellent un-butchered interior, will clean up lovely but needs seat recovering
Four good matching tyres
Of course the truck is both exempt from MOT and is free to road tax as it's correctly registered as an "historic" vehicle.
The body is generally lovely and straight, the only penetrative rust can be seen bottom of the front fender which is a simple fix. There is surface rust/ patina to the roof and panel tops. Chassis, cab corners, floors and everywhere else is lovely and solid.
We have completed the following to make this a good starting and running truck, however it still requires other little jobs before you can hit the highway-
Flushed the fuel tank of old stale fuel , fitted a new inline filter and a new carburettor.
Fitted a new heavy duty battery, starter motor and battery cable, fitted new spark plugs and added new radiator coolant mix.
New brake servo check valve
New electric choke fitted.
Gone through the electrics and now all lights, dash lights and heater fan work. The wipers need a new motor, it has stopped working.
We have now also just replaced the exhaust silencer which had a large hole in it. The truck starts runs, drives and stops well. The engine is lovely and quiet with no signs of excess wear. It has excellent oil pressure. The automatic transmission works as it should as does the 4 wheel drive high/ low selector.
It is a straight forward simple ongoing project that still needs a bit of recommissioning to make a reliable everyday driver.
We have not cleaned her, she will clean and polish up a treat. REMEMBER THEY ARE ONLY ORIGINAL ONCE!
Please be assured that all parts for these trucks are readily available both in the UK and in the US so keeping her on the road is easy and inexpensive.
I can also arrange delivery of this truck
Finally serious interested parties please call Pete on the details below, please no lowballers , tyre kickers, please be realistic with your expectations. This is still a 44 year old truck, as such it will drive like one and not like your 2013 BMW. You can secure the truck with a £1000 deposit.
Sourcing , procuring and shipping these vehicles is a time consuming and expensive task. Everything has increased in price due to the pounds weakness since brexit . The values of these vehicles are only going one way
