I've had this one for a year or so , did a slant6 to 360LA swap - 4spd to 727 swap and other things to it , posting pics later
I found this one about a year ago , it had been sitting for the last 16years , and I tought I should fix it up... not the brightest idea but I had some free time.
being a mexican truck d-150 means 6cyl , base truck d-250 are v8 or more upscale models. it had a slant and a clarck t-190 4speed on it , the plan was to get it into drivable state but then I found a BIG hole on the side of the block and things snowballed from there.
How I found it

long story short , I took the 360 out of the PW and bought a jy 727 for it.
yeah its dirty but I was in a real hurry , plus it will get cleaned down the road.

and the first time it went into a gas station after 16years

it was really low on the front , unconfortable actually but it looked cool

and this is how it sits now , got the front fixed up first time my friend cutted the coils with a torch and on top of that they where for the 6cyl truck so it was really low and saggy. I found some d250 coilsprings and cutted it with a saw and that fixed the height and the ride aswell
