Title: 19?? D-350 Franken-Dodge Junkyard Ranch Truck
Post by: ProjectM880 on June 19, 2015, 11:55:39 AM
In light of my ever growing collection of broken down dodges. Noah suggested I just combine all my old parts to make a ranch truck with a flatbed. Something I've wanted for a while. Nothing special about this build just consolidating my junk to make a semi functional ranch truck.

Starting with a 91 D-350 2wd frame. And using the orginal 360/727/np203 drivtrain out of the 78 Ramcharger. So basically it will run is 4 low lock all the time for 2wd low.

At least it goes all the way out the back... Would have been even louder if you dumped it behind the cab...  Gonna have a hunting blind on it too?  might should have put a muffler on it if your gonna hunt from it..LOL

I was trying to use just a bunch of scrap pieces. Didn't have any good mufflers that would work. No problem though since it will just be a work truck at the ranch. No dear blind ha ha ha
Noah and I plan to start it again this week to . eventually I will get some body parts on  :tard:
