My old man has a '64 shortbed with push button trans, 318, and it was painted a salmon pink from the factory. There's not another one like it in the world.

Now that's one fancy Ram Truck , it's amazing how good shape that truck was after sitting all those years . I think it's perfect...well done .

Love those old Dodge trucks! My grandfather had a '67 D200 that he'd bought new... Looked exactly like this one (without the fancy body moulding, but with a padded dash bumper pad). It had more miles running in the hay field than it did on the road; and that's the truck I got my driver's license with! I later had a '69 W200 Powerwagon that I wished I still had today! Currently driving a 2001 Dodge-Cummins 2500.

Beautiful I had 1966 Dodge D200 4by4 with a grandma 4 speed at 55 the build in tack was at 4 grand . I could pull a house down justice turn the locking hubs and go . In the winter of 1978 it's was hit by a plow truck in the front right they scrap its . I'm 67 years old I live in northern Indiana all my life. I love you video be safe man.

I've got the exact same '65 dodge d200 rig that my grandpa left me before he passed. I'm working on it right now! This video is inspiring, thank you!

@@1963impala2drWaylonWire No not yet haha however I'm hitting the gym in preparation for it.

I have always been a Ford guy but I love seeing old trucks getting revitalized. Yes you can never have too many rigs. Great job.

Looks great. First thing I thought when you showed it was ...clear coat that thing. It's earned them spots. Only thing it needs is an eight ball shifter knob. nice job. Always enjoy your videos and usually learn little something.

I strongly believe in your quote ''If we all did the same things restoring these old vehicles, the world would be boring.'' I love seeing what people can come up with when they add their creativity to a project. That old girl looks great!

Man, I really dig these "ancient" classic, vintage trucks. Boy, that's 1 groovy 1965 2nd series light blue pickup truck. I wonder if it's a d-100 1/2 ton or a d-200 3/4 ton truck. Anyway, I've got a 1969 Dodge camper special pickup truck that's tan with white top, regular cab 2 door, 128"wheel base, 318 v-8 177 horsepower motor, sweptside with an 8' bed box, 2 wheel drive with 3 speed auto transmission. It has a 1969 11' self contained grayish silver Avion c-11 overhead camper. I bought the truck in Oklahoma on Mar. 2016 & the camper in Colorado on Jul. 2016. Then I drove it back to Corpus Christi in south Texas. It was an adventure miracle journey round trip.

you wonder if its a d100 or a d200? read the title of the video haha.. thanks for watching!

I like it Ken. Glad you were able to save the old girl. You really don't see too many of these.

Those poly 318's really were great engines.

I lean toward GM trucks when it comes to new(er) ones, but once they get as old as this Dodge, well you gotta like it (same goes for an older Ford.) Thanks, Ken. I think it's perfect just the way you did it.

this video just made my broken finger feel better. Must have been that sweet dodge. Big Thanks

Looks great. white steelies would look nice on the old girl.keep up the great work bring these old vehicle's back too life.

Wonderful to see it road worthy instead of sitting and left to rot away. Great Job!

Man that’s a beautiful old Dodge Pick em’ up! They dang sure don’t build them like that anymore!!! Heck of a job on that Pick em’ up!!

Just came across this video and had to watch it as I have recently acquired a ‘66 D200 in sea foam green and a slant six, 4 speed on the floor. Got it running. Just need to work on the brakes and it will be road worthy. No intention of repairing the rust and all. I want to keep it kind of rough and just drive the old thing. Thanks for the inspiration. Great job!

thanks. thats what i did with this one.. I replaced the master cylinders.. mine has two.. one for the hydraulic clutch too.. I had to replace the windshield and I put a carpet in it.. but I'm thinking I'll swap that out.. for a 3/4 ton farm truck..a rubber mat seems more appropriate. I'd love to see your truck if you have pictures.. my email is coatesgrafting@gmail.com are you gonna clear coat it?

WOW fantastic to see an ole Dojayeeeee brought back to life...beautiful end result and like you said about restoration.....what you ehnded up with was a great idea!! More ketchin up to do......See yaaa.

That's a sweet old truck. @4:24 1972 was the last year for left hand thread on the driver's side lug nuts. Ma Mopar made a lot of changes to cut costs and save money on the 1973 models. They needed every penny they could save to build the prototype for a new tank that the Army didn't know they needed yet. It was adopted as the M1 Abrams....

The old Dodge cleaned up nice and runs great!!

you did her right, looks great....long live the ol blue diamond.

Nice job saving another old one! Really like what you've done with her so far!

that brings back a lot of memories...we used to log in the mountains of colorado..we had various old dodge trucks...the dodge power wagon was known as the roughest riding pickup of any....but they were tough...nice rescue....

That is one nice looking Dodge truck you brought back to life!

You totally went the right way! What a sweet truck Ken.

Man I love this truck and how you got it going! I have a 68 that I can’t wait to get running. I’d like to do it the same way you did yours… I’ll post it on my channel as well. Thank you for the motivation Ken. Kevin

I've watched this video about 4 times! Really well done. Driving across the country in a couple days to pick up my first Sweptline and the "patina" look is exactly what I'll be going for. Thanks!

What a Great Truck,,, I wouldn't have done it any other way...!!!!!

love them good old dodge pickups!

you did a nice job on the dodge and thanks for showing us

You are one amazing guy. Thanks again

my Dad had a new 1966 Dodge dump truck .... you did a wonderful job on the blue diamond..

Wow there is a ton of old iron out there I wish I could just walk out the back door like you do and find these rusty jems. Great job on the Dodge and I look forward to seeing what else you do to it.

yes, its everywhere around here.. and because of the very arid climate and no salt on the roads.. they just last forever..pretty much rust free other than just a little surface rust. thanks for watching! :)

101 percent agree with what you've done. Looks fantastic, and the inside has cleaned up real nice.

Well sir you just never cease to amaze me with the old iron you find and get to put back on the road. I love everything you did to that old 65 D200 Dodge truck. Besides when you fix them up the way you want it wouldn't be any fun to make it another cookie cutter truck. It shows your talent. 1 1/2 thumbs up Id give you 2 thumbs but i only have 1 1/2 lol

great job. i am a ford guy but i would not throw that Dodge out off my stables for sure. that is one sweet awesome iron.

Thanks for the great video, you make it look so easy!

Yep Ken, she was a diamond in the rough. I sure like those rims, they bring out the beauty in that ol rig.

looks real nice! amazing what a new set of shoes will do to the look of a rig! nice job

Nice job. Great choice with the clear coat as well.

Your truck, your looks! Better than it rotting away, anyhow! Something to turn heads for sure!

Man, that ain't nothing but FUN !

You are an artist.

that is a bloody good looking truck love it what you have done is just what it needed well done

Lefty guitars and old Dodges....life is good!

Thanks for sharing this project. Very nice driver when it was done. I'd sure like to hear that exhaust your going to put on it.

nice truck you have,thanks for sharing.

It great to see you saved the old girl Ken I love it :)

Love that truck. Good job!

Great find great job

Awesome looking truck, you did a great job my friend

Amazing turn around. Looks excellent.

Runs good and looks real nice. You done good.

Really love what you did.

An electronic ignition distributor from a 1975 318 will drop right in. Then you can use it to trigger a GM hei module and coil. You might consider bypassing the amp meter. They have a habit of burning up in the dash or the high current melts the bulkhead connector. That's a solid old truck and that poly 318 is one of the best ever built for reliability.

just got done watching your video on your 63 Impala sweet car my brother in law had a 63 Impala 327 4 speed it was a clean car 63 was a good looking year to.

Turned out very nice!

Some old vehicles just dont need restoring they just a little love and want to be drove!

man what a truck nice work like the paint

Finally joined your site, I've enjoyed your videos/projects as inspiration for mine, a '51 half-ton Studebaker "Studebuilt".

That's amazing Ken. There's really no rust. Looks great nice work.

My wife does something called chalk painting, kind of a weathering technique for furniture that mimics this very thing. I like it.

i love that old dodge look good i like it

Truck looks Great just the way you have it! I Like! :) The fresh Black in the chrome looks nice too!

Hey that 65 came out nice keep up the videos with dodges I have a 66 D100 Stepside I picked up for 20 bucks can't wait to get it finished it keep up the good work man I'll keep watching
