5 Beat Up Dodge Trucks Still Going Strong
1. 1987 Dodge W-150 Power Ram
Here you've got a regular cab short box, 2-bbl 318. Everything is stock other than 33" tires for off-roading. 190,000 miles and still running great.
2. 1952 Dodge Pilot House Pickup
This 1952 Pilot House Pickup is a well-running driving truck. The engine was rebuilt and runs better than the current owner's daily driver. Replaced clutch, new clutch disc, resurfaced flywheel, new pilot and throw out bearings. New shocks, tires, and brakes. All window gaskets are new. Has been converted to a 12-volt system instead of the factory 6-volt system. Still starts easy every time.
3. 1968 Dodge M601 Troop Hauler
Here's a rarely seen Dodge M601, an export model from Thailand. It is 1 of 14 brought in by VPW. Correct Olive Drab Green, 251cid inline 6-cylinder engine, 4-speed manual transmission, 2-speed transfer case, four wheel drive, and bench seats in bed. This line of Dodge truck is still regarded as one of the most capable off-road vehicles ever produced.
4. 1967 Dodge Tow Truck
Here's a snapshot of a rare, one-ton 4x4 single9wheel truck (not dual). 318/np435 /np200 with dana 70's front and rear. Has 18,000# pto winch. Still runs and drives well, with 44,000 miles on the odometer. It was an old pipeline truck, so it has a flat bed with a wrecker/tow truck boom on it.
5. 1947 Dodge Truck
This 1947 Dodge is a factory original, with the engine still needing to be manually cranked. There are lots of possibilities with this mammoth four-wheeler, fitted with an extra hydraulic pump for dump.
