Hi Austin...love all your vehicles. In 1979 i bought a brand new w150 shortbox stepside. It looked much like yours, mine was basic black with blue vinyl interior, 318 4 speed 4x4, still had the wood plank floor 1n 1979. One of the few options it had was factory tach. It came with dog dish hubcaps and belted car tires. Cost was about $8000.canadian. Now have a 2006 Dodge Dakota that i bought new and serves me well. The new pickups are pretty complicated and scare me off from buying one. Love simplicity . Cheers

That 1979 sounds like a nice rig! Would love to have one specced like that!

My first P/U truck was a brand new 90 GMC Sierra fully equipped day cab long bed 2wd 350 V8 I saved for it but still had to finance part of it it was a dream truck sure you could work it but that seem to be the end of the be all do all Swiss Army knife of trucks now you got these things super fancy & more luxurious then some Cars and I got lured into that conundrum because the car companies stopped building Personal Luxury Coupes that I liked so I went for the fancied up Trucks

Great old truck. It's too bad you really can't buy a cheap work horse anymore. Everything is power this or that, infotainment systems, sat-nav, 8 or 10 speed automatics, and so many sensors and computers, you can't expect them to last 50 years like your Dodge. I do love my 2010 Ford F150 FX4, it's more than I needed but it's still something I can work on with a simple set of Harbor Freight tools. It also has 210,000 miles on the original 5.4. The trans blew though and set me back $5000. I'll keep it around though because anything built after 2010 doesn't interest me. Cheers man!

That truck is perfect. The exterior is awesome.

2011 Ram 1500 Tradesman. Regular Cab short bed. Bare bones basic truck. 3.7 lt, vinyl bench seat and rubber matted floors, and I love it

lol it sure reminds me of my 78 Lil Red, being a Utiline model and same color combos and all. Restored my LRE a couple of years ago and replaced the bed floor, repaint, rebuilt drive train, etc. They do reproduce the tailgate now. I bought one. Got that through Dodge Connection. You can buy the window cranks new too and they are cheap to buy. I have an 04 Rumble Bee as a daily. Don’t drive a lot as I’m retired. I take brush to the landscape dump with it and pick up bags of gravel or soil for the yard. If I ever decide to get another open car trailer, I can use it for towing that. My Rumble Bee truck has 108,000 miles on it. The Lel Red has 42,000.

Well my first truck was a 81 Ford F-100 stepside with a baby V-8 255 with autimatic trans . When the paint started wraring off the wood bed floor i sanded them and put a dark stain that looked good with the trucks Tan color with gold pin strips and i put a semi gloss polyurethane on it , but in a few years the bed did rot out . I keep the truck till 86 when i traded it for a Mazda King cab truck .

My work truck is a ..... Dodge .... 23 years old with 321k miles on it. 2wd, 3/4 ton, single cab long bed. Had it for many years, still daily drive. Not exactly a classic, but still an ole' Dodge work truck

I will make it simple from three generations of people. The Greatest Generation of the people who returned from World War II. We can always get it in deep with their parents who used the truck for anything and everything you could use it for. From Sunday morning Church, storehouse, haul hay, lumber, 🪵 and the family to and from the relatives. Grandparents would have two one old wore out one for the farm and chores and the other one for everything else and the shop truck. Today it is a relative term. Some are actually a real work truck and others are just oarts haulers, etc. Most are more parts haulers than the real full blown work or farm truck.

I had almost the same color 1977 Dodge D100 with the 225 engine and an automatic trans. It was my first vehicle inherited from my grandfather in 1981. I wish i had it now.

I had a 1975 Dodge truck like yours. Mine had belonged to the US Forest service so it was green with a gray roof. It had the spare mounted on the side like you mentioned. Slant six and a four speed tranny. It was in perfect shape, not a scratch in it including the green paint on the wood bed. I wish I still had it.

I had a 85 Dodge pickup with the slant six, matched to a 4 speed manual shift with a 5th gear overdrive, basically for highway use. It was a good old truck, same basic cab, but my truck was a sweep side, and by then the gas tank was under the box, and made from plastic, and they didn’t rust out like the Ford and GM pickup tanks did.

I didn't have a work truck but I once owned a small sleep of 1996 Toyota previa minivan. One Van was used as a delivery vehicle as well as a customer shuttlefor a small hotelon Miami South Beach while the other 2 were used strictly for A Small vending company that serviced a lot of high-rise buildings in the downtown Miami Beach area. Although they were basically Toyota Camrys Remoted into the shape of a football they we're soft Sprung, Refined and very comfortable cargo hallers. Other than routine maintenance as well as a couple unfortunate fortunate incidents involving what we refer to down here as kamikaze julios running into them they were pretty trouble-free. I did lose one in an accident and foolishly replaced it with a Ford trance connect which although was built and designed to be a small type delivery vehicle They are absolute unreliable piles of crap. When we've lost the first previit had just North of 350 K miles the next one down has he had 400 K. That awful trans connect with the weakest automatic transmission on the market has given me more trouble in 50K than any of the toyotas have given me at 400 K.

The large auxiliary saddle tank under my 77 D200 is plastic but the one behind the seat is galvanized steel, and both tanks still look and work perfect. So, I'm guessing the plastic chassis mounted tanks arrived shortly after Dodge introduced their new series of trucks in 1972.

The shitty weather reflects the shitty condition of the truck and it's absolutely perfect as it is bro!!

Love real trucks. How did we stray so far.

For a quick fix you could always take the window crank from the passenger door and just put it on the driver side. If I remember correctly the Mopar window cranks had a single Allen key bolt in the center holding them on.

custom was the base trim. the reason the badge was on the front fender is because it's a utiline truck. if it were the fleetside, it would have been on the side of the truck bed. next trim level would have been the adventurer, then adventurer sport, and the top of the line was the adventurer se.

Well, it's a truck. The first air force unit I was assigned to had one of these, not a step side, though. Good for hauling equipment to the jet, but not people. Never been a truck fan, I've owned a couple, but they just aren't my thing.

When I was nineteen I wanted a '72 or '73 W100 Utiline with a Slant Six in it. I know Dodge put some NP435s behind sixes in W100s, but not if they ever put three-speeds behind them- that's what I want if I can find one.

Love the bicentennial quarter on the shifter, and I think it's pretty cool you tried to get some old pictures of the truck from back in the day.

I say that because I had a 1965 Dodge 3/4 ton step side with the slant 6 back in the early 1980's. The truck had 235k when I bought it, and ran perfectly. I kept it for a few years and put about 30k on it. When I sold it, the odometer read around 265k (well it said 65k but I knew the truck had turned over twice because I was a friend of the original owner). Still ran good, used a little oil but not much. I paid $400 for the truck and sold it for $400, LOL. Back in the 1980's prices for old trucks were CHEAP!! Not like today.

I've owned several Ford trucks over the years, 1 Chevy truck and my old fav, a 1958 Dodge 1/2 ton we called Mavis. She was a great truck although she was very rough looking. Duct tape over the rust holes and painted with a brush and roller. She had a 318 or it was was listed in the manual as a 314.61cu in V-8, and a four speed. She always started and ran even when we'd dip into sub zero temps. I miss her still. My first truck was a 73 F100, 2wd, swb with a 240 in 6 and auto trans which was notorious for popping out of park. Then I had a 76 F100, 79 Chevy swb, 77F150 Supercab 2wd, 77F150 2wd, long box, 82F250 2wd Supercab along with an assortment of cars and wagons over the years.

The Dodge stepside bed design actually dated back to the 1950's. The Ford stepside bed that was used until 1979 dated back to the 1953-56 F100 pickup design. Dodge stopped selling the stepside bed option in the mid 1980's although the rest of the body design lasted through 1985 or so. Starting in 1980, Ford redesigned the stepside bed to match the body style of the rest of the truck.

Wish he would've sold it to me, I had dreams of dropping a 440 in it and running it for another 30 years lol. These Dodges are a little rattly and clunky but boy are they tough and reliable.

Reliability - dependability in retrospect was very underwhelming. Lot's of issues for a truck that was never worked and very well maintained. I didn't buy it to work with, and back in the day that was "odd" unlike today.
