Considering the Dodge brothers worked for Henry Ford before starting their own company, it's not heinous that you have Ford parts on a Mopar.

The Dodge brothers made the Model T actually work.
My first car was a 68 roadrunner and after that I was a mopar fan for life. Watching you bring these old Dodge's back to life brings back so many memories. Enjoy all your videos.
When US vehicles are imported to the UK, if the reverse lights are near the brake/marker lights, they have amber bulbs fitted and are converted into turn signals like this. On cars where they are near the licence plate (limos), amber lights are fitted to the bumper.
He's starting to look pretty good. The black rims always look good to me.
I'm thinkin Black pipe bumper. Glad to see you giving Rump some attention!

naw, stock bumper with a safari bar
For a reverse light, I have typically drilled some holes on the bottom bumper and used some implement lights. They tell people you’re backing up, and the light up well in the dark.
Good job on this oldie. I love old cars and trucks! Cheers from Taiwan.
good video!! reminds me of my 73 Dodge Sno-Fighter, short box, smooth-side, mine was a leaning tower of power, w/a 3spd man with a granny low gear and 4.89 axle gears, that truck could push a mountain, but couldn't get much over 63mph. I miss that old truck
What a JOY this channel is my young friend! You are a NATURAL. So pleasant and calm. I love to watch your stuff. Truth be told, I love Repo AND that what appears to be a '60 Dodge truck. That's my favorite. Looks slightly lowered. AWESOME! Good stuff brother. I enjoy every single second! Keep it up. Love ya Repo!
6:26 that jump cut was so smooth that made it look like you just grabbed the tail light and snapped it off cuz it was so Rusty 😂

People will always second guess and criticize, Dylan just keep a thick skin and an open mind. I personally love what you do! That truck too.
Dylan this has been a nice diversion for me as well a journey into my past having had use of a D100 in the very late 70's. I believe it was 3-on-the-tree though. Also I am sure my D100 wasn't a Step-Side. He cranked over and started in such a unique manner that once you knew how to do so, Wa-La, he came to life and was stout and dependable all the day long. You rested in the shade of Rump at the end here under the 'Custom/D100' badge and now with FoMoCo tail lamps signaling thru the backup lens there is no arguing this D100 is Customized. Also stop the rust and patch a hole here and there, spray a clear finish you have a fine rescue worth being proud to own and drive. Thanks for your series on this truck, nice having been a spectator.
These older dodge pick ups are fun to drive. I love driving my 87 d100. I ditched my hub caps and painted the steel wheels blk. I went with 255 70 15 on all 4 corners. Nice work on the rear lights, looks good.
Should find some rough looking but solid old barn wood or something similar to use in the bed. Truck does has character!
I like the look of the old paint. Wish my truck still had it's old original paint. Rump is coming along nicely.

accent it with black paint on roof and some yellow striping a la the MACHO PACKAGE of 1979
I had a black 76 just like that one. In high school. Sure miss that truck. Cool old cars
Been doing a turquoise and white 72 d100 long bed with a 360 while you've been doing this one. Got it for 500 bucks back in January and registered it a few weeks ago. Had 60,500 miles on the clock when I got it and it just turned over 61,000 today. Something about these trucks are so fun to drive.
That shake at about 2:05 is just SCARY. Jack stands are definitely a good thing people.

You are truly blessed to find all this cool old hardware. I need to find something like that.
Budget restoration job for a "workin mans truck" would be great. Do the wire harness and fab some bumpers do the cheap acrylic shop paint. It would be good content for the next 5 episodes and prolly be under 500 bucks.
Anybody else remember the Dodge 'Warlock' truck?... Rump's got that vibe with those wheels!👍
That Bible verse truly fits here - your are reviving these left behind cars, & gearheads appreciate that. I'm going to overlook those dang ferd, I mean Ford taillights - you said you were doing this on a budget, & as long as the lights do what they're supposed to do, no one should complain. But they will, because it makes them feel good about themselves. And you can count me as a fan of the wheel/tire combo: again, the price is right, & a little scrubbing will make them look even better. And matching tires makes Rump feel better in handling, braking, & steering - win/win! Good job - the Rump Road Trip is not too far in the future, I'm sure.
Your Dad is one smart guy. Good fix for the problem at hand.
Rump is my favorite project you have. It’s perfect
Favourite project on this channel at the moment
The new black rims and new tires look fantastic!!!!
Nice looking truck. I have done a few trucks like that few years back.
Hey Dylan, not sure what's more hammered here, that truck or your sneakers!...lol JK I love the old skips! On a more serious note I found "Junk yard digs" and saw you guys get that old Plymouth running and subscribed to Kevin's channel, then I found Luke's channel to be very valuable as I need his carb skills to get my trans am back running again after 23 years in my garage. I finally subscribed to your channel today and I just want to say for a couple of millennial kids you guys are pretty cool. Your not out modifying stupid Hondas or Toyota's, you guys remind me of when I was young fixing and building old school American V8 60's and 70's muscle cars with my buddy's and for that I commend all three of you, and you seem to be really decent kids as well. Keep the content coming and I will continue to support you guys...stay safe
Orange and black are the Halloween colors. Works well for Rumpkin.
Hey finally 😁 !! Was wondering if we ever hear from you again been a while lol.. good video an yup yup that sure sharpened up the trucks look 👌like u say wheels An tires can change the looks of a vehicle tremendously!!! Road trip sounds good actually really good lol !!! Thanks for sharing an hope to see more video videos more often 👍👍👍
Hot rod dirty's had a square body for sale that had a stained barn door painted fence post bed and it was so sweet with this tribal Native American Shield feather type of pattern going on in The Faded paint
Truck looks good keep it up bro!
Great video bro, Love when cars get saved from the junkyard!!!!
So you swapped out your really old tyres for slightly newer but still old wheels and tyres. Nice. Also the tail lights look great but I would cut off that extra little outer tab that is on the driver side. The turn signal solution is fantastic, very well thought out.
Me alegro mucho de que aya alguien que restaure estos dodge mi padre tiene una dodge custom 100 del 80 y lo que hace que encontré tu canal de KZread no hago mas que ver tus videos felicitaciones 👏 Soy de Colombia
Truck looks really good with the new rims and tires.
LOL yeah you wouldn't want to put any unnecessary holes in that truck. I had a good laugh. Thanks for sharing.
That truck is going to run better than ever with those ford taillights

Great Video Dylan! I am digging the 15 inch ARE Jeep rims. Give us some updates when you put the Amber turn signal bulbs in there. If you have any extra footage of How To crimp and heat shrink and wire loom the tail lights I would appreciate it. Do you use a BBQ lighter on the heat shrinking?
Cool truck, put a yellow led into the clear window with a parallel resistor along with a white led for the reverse also into the clear window and leave the red window for the lights
That 05 Tennessee tag though.. I started driving in 04. I forgot about that older tag. I think they changed them to the newer tag in about 09 or 10.
The best thing on this truck is the Fomoco taillights!
Wheels and tires do change a lot. We have a pretty sad looking XJ with tires the same size as yours. We nust got some actual jeep tires and it looks so right.
I run the same wheel and tire combo on my 86 D150. With 1 inch adapters.
When you still steel with a hand drill make sure you can see the flutes turning so you don’t over heat the bit
i had a 1979 Dodge Adventurer Tradesman....the only year with 4 square headlights. Its 318 was converted to a ghetto 340. Carter Competition series carb...727 HD trans...plywood for floor panels. 3 inch Structural channel for a front bumper that went around the grille and headlights and 6 inch i-beam from a crane for a rear bumper...with 2 sets of Hella headlights in the rear. Anyone that had high beams on my ass got nuked..i miss her. she was the War Machine
Rumps looking great 👍!
You could put an orange bulb in the reverse lights to keep seperate turn signals and have some smaller 4" reverse lights under the tray so the tailgate can come down
love this truck.
Nice work on her!
The wheels look great. I had a set just like it on a Caprice years ago, Cragar D-Windows. Kind of a Nascar vibe to them.
My uncle owned one of these beasts , rusted out orange black rims a good look 👍 !
i like the wheels, rattle can the drums orange or black, look nice. good job on the budget.
I can hear the dog panting in the background....a mopar hound. I thought that year truck had the round tail lights originally...didn't go with those standard jeep style tail lights until 77 or 78 I think.

Dylan, maybe go with Rustoleum Orange on the body once you weld some metal in the spots it needs it []be cool to box in the frame]. Paint both bumpers Rustoleum White and everything else Orange Rsutoleum then clear it. Leave the reare passenger side fender lumpy but clean the rust and put some rustoleum on it lol Rumpkin is such a perfect name for it. Who was the sponser that sent you the bumpers for the Challenger? Maybe get a couple of period correct bumpers and paint them white and everything else [save the grill that is] Rustoleum, plastic kids tractor Orange. So COOL!! lol Take it on Power Tour with the other guys next time. ;-) Loving this series!
I love this truck.
you could use a Led turn signal bar and wire it into the harness. It would work great and look good too.
Love that truck!
I'd recommend replacing the back bumper with a simple round "bar" bumper. I know some folks want you to do a wood bed but damn if they aren't a pain in the ass to maintain. Get a bed pan and weld it in and then spray Rhino Liner on it. Zero maintenance.
I love your work. |I WOULD LOVE TO WORK ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS. Nice job Dylan
Yeah man I dig the blacked out look. Black out the bumper and the grill!
I was excited to see That 70s Car in the shot tbh 😍
Black is the best choice for a contrast to the color, the only other possible is white, and that looks weak. It's easy to work off black, and will be easier to deal with.Some used sheet steel cut to fit for the box, and a lot of grinder discs on the rust. Your arm muscles will ache, but you will look like the terminator. Good choice Dylan
Good idea with the separate turn signals in the brake lights, way safer in traffic
Living dangerously with no jackstands I see. Nice original first year, base model truck. I'm glad it is getting some attention.
A new front and back bumper would really turn this car! also you should paint the chains on the back black so you can clearly see then vs the frame

Rump is looking good! Always loved the 70s Dodge stepsides. BTW is that a 74 grille on Rump? Looks like a 74-76 grille. Loving these videos!👍😃
Rumps looking well happy
I had a rare 79 in excellent condition with the 440 I couldn't afford to feed it's 5 miles per gallon tank so I foolishly traded it for a 89 Celica; not realizing it was rare, and today worth ten times the value in 2001
The truck already has those separate round backup lights so you could just leave the turn signal in the backup light portion of the tail light and wire in the existing backup lights.

I inherited my dads custom D150 with the slant six. big tree branch fell on her smashed her bed and the cab. I think I can save the cab I hope. But need to get that slant 6 running first hasn’t started in years.
Personally, I'd flip the tail lights facing down. Meaning, I'd see about putting the light so that the Reverse light is closer to the ground. But since they'll become amber turn signals leave em. Wire in a reverse spot light perhaps on its own ?
2156 na bulb would be what you need. I would look around for the same tail light that has a side marker built into the side, I believe the Jeep CJ’s have them.
Fantastic job! Love that truck! Please don't touch that body.
