If I can keep getting deals like this thats going to be great, more money to put towards suspension/engine/drivetrain! Here's a picture from today after throwing the parts on to get a look at the truck "completed" for the first time in probably 15-10 years

Well I went to a yard and managed to score some of the more early 61-66 door parts! Had to pay pretty good for them but if I don't get it there who knows when I can find some in good shape again. Also got the tailgate hinge/strap things and a 61-66 exterior door handle, there was another handle but the only mounting screw for it was stripped out and good old locking pliers couldn't get a bite so that ones off limits, might go back next time I get a day off and buy the passenger side door windows and the taillight housings but we'll see. Tonight I straightened the tailgate hinges parts and i submerged the door regulators in a tub of used ATF, so that should get them working nice and smooth and everything all nice and free, they were working fine before I pulled them but just incase this will help

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
looks like its slowly coming together

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
If I didn't have to work form morning til night I could probably get a bit more done, I try to search for parts and find out where I can get them that way on my day off I can go grab them but I still have to rewire the plug in in the garage for the correct prong style for the 210 outlet for the welder. But I've got the front fenders on so I can find out where my centerline is so I can line up the centerline on the new suspenion. I'm apart of this sweptline page on facebook and there's guys coming out of the wood work with parts I need so should start getting all these little missin parts pretty fast. Once I get all the dodge specific parts then I can start buying all the after market stuff like wiring kit new weather stripping and all that good stuff. Also going to try and put this truck together with nothing but brand new hardware.

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
Wow it looks like a truck....lookin good

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
Good looking truck. Did you pick that one up in Merced? There were many good yards back in the '90's when I was stationed up in Atwater. Picked up a really nice '69 Buick Riviera there.

Well I have good news and bad news.... Good news is I found a "new" drivers side front door in original white patina paint in very nice shape! My new found dodge friend also has a gazillion other parts for my truck.. Bad news is he's in Washington state, and although his prices are fair, they are really high compared to what I'm used to dealing with. I've been skating by getting really lucky in the deals I've been coming across for parts but that is going to be short lived very sadly... The other bad news is I found out some other parts that guy took off my truck the day before I picked it up to bring it home... Also found out that they are crewcab specific parts and they are unbelievealby exspensive for what they are.. So now I have to track those down as well... But nonetheless I managed to buy some parts from a guy in Minnesota, I got 2 61-66 exterior door handles and a drivers side door latch for $70 shipped! Lucked out there that brings the total of this truck (not including gas, cleaning supplies and tools bought for it) to $1,193, not bad considering I have the CV suspension added in there. I'm going to go back to the guy I got the hood and other parts from and try to buy left/right side door glass. Thinking of asking if he will trade his dash for the dash that I picked up, since his already has the lever shift hole and the lever shift stuff in it, but probably end up just buying his dash. And as for actual progress on the truck I managed to install a door latch and handle into the rear passenger door and now it's shuts and stays shut and opens with the handle! Nice to see something actually functioning semi properly besides the hood. I've made a list of internal door parts I need to get them complete and the passenger side looks to be pretty easy to get complete. Waiting on getting some things I need before starting the frame work. |

Well got a package yesterday, this makes three doors functioning. The front driver door as I think I stated earlier im going to replace and I'm also buying the latch and ext. handle for that door too so for now I've just been installing parts on the other three doors. The front passenger door hangs a little and you have to lift it a little and **** the door at the same time so looks like I'm going to learn how to adjust sweptline doors pretty soon. Here's a shot of the parts I got
|
Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
Well today I went and paid for the door, taillight lenses, NOS parking light lenses and gaskets, 4 int. door handles, 1 ext. door handle, 1 DR door latch, and 2 "100" fender emblems, so lots of good parts should be on there way within the week. Excited to get these parts. Also cleaned the frame rails up and drew out all my marks where I need to cut the frame in order to pinch the rails in. And I'm also going out today and getting a new grinder... Made a mistake and took a chance on one and it was garbage so now I'm going to just get one that I know is pretty tough... Hope to get some real progress done within this month. Starting to think I'm going to have trouble finding a set of 2006-2012ish chrysler 300 17" steel rims... Once I get the CV clip on its going to be all good until I can't roll it around since there's no wheels... So I'm on a mission from God right now 😎 haha

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
Well just received word that my money order made it and he rounded up all my parts and will be sending them out tomorrow, so with any luck by Friday next week I should have a nice parts lot for the 65. Sent me some pictures of the parts... They look perfect and should all clean up really well! When the parts come in I'll take some pictures and post them. Also been preparing for the crown Vic swap... Don't have much time off or daylight hours when I am home to do stuff so it's taking forever to get this ready but I'll get there
|
Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
Hoping to start the CV suspension install tomorrow and also work on it tuesday.. We'll see how it goes.
|
Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
Good luck on the install

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
Alright guys the truck is sitting as we speak on the CV suspension. I still have some gussets to weld on and mod the frame a bit more for the rear mounting holes of the CV suspension but overall I'm about 80% done, I'm waiting to finish up the frame completely so I can take the last set of pictures on the work I did, once I do that I will post a write up on how I did it. I would post pictures of how it sits right now but you guys probably would rather I just do a start to finish so I'll wait

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
You just want to keep us on pins and needles waiting ,LOL . Looking forward to pics later when you get ready.
|
Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
LOL! It wouldn't be fair of me to show you the end before the beginning :D I'm hoping after work today I can get some more done on it, before I actually cut anything or started the install I was having a difficult time figuring out how exactly to weld up and gusset the frame where it would be completely open from the pie cut but now after seeing it in person I think I know what I'm going to do. Should be pretty strong.

Well since it may take a couple days for me to get some steel and to get my friends acetylene torch I might as well post up some shots. Other updates on the truck are, I took off the driver door in preparation for my "new" white patina'd door, which did come in the mail on Wednesday along with all my other goodies which I'll post pictures of. So here's the truck with the crown Vic suspension and 17" steelies as of tuesday

Then on Wednesday I came home after work to see my door and parts had come in so i put a exterior handle, door latch and my lock from the original door in along with the original doors window frame and then bolted it on and wiped it down to see what I'm my end result may look like

Also thre on the new "100" emblems that I got. These are 61-65 and there painted red from the factory, I decided to go with red in the emblems because it should tie in the red interior, still have yet to repaint the emblems though

Also got a set of taillight lenses that are in pretty good shape. Still need the housings but I threw the lenses in just to finally see the rear more complete

My list of door parts and components is getting smaller but I still have things to get before there complete. But at least now I have all the interior door handles and just need some window cranks. As of last night I cleaned up and repainted one of my custom emblems for the doors

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''

Since the driver door has holes drilled for aftermarket mirrors I'm going to position the custom emblem to cover most of them, that way It looks a little nicer.

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
Man its looking good ,that is one KOOL looking truck .Its sort of strange on my part because way back when I used to think they were so ugly but now I think they were like the Edsel and just a little ahead of their time . Just rambling here ,back to your regular program now.

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
You know I always thought they were a look ont a mother could love but at the same time I still liked these trucks and I would always go up and look at them as a kid. And now I know way more about these trucks and Im actually starting to love the way these trucks look, my favorite for sure though is the later 65's like mine and the 66, the bed and taillights are just perfect and with the cool pie plate bezels and single headlights I feel like they just nailed it! 67 started getting a lot of what I'm going to say "70's" styling a little too much at once but there still pretty cool too. I honestly think the only reason why these trucks were and still are neglected and overlooked is because there were no disc brakes and no IFS, in the 90's when people started getting really into redoing/restoring/building 60's trucks they all turned to the c10 because it has the easy ability to have power disc brakes, power steering, a bunch of options, IFS, some with coil rear suspension and they were smoother and nicer in the handling department, and then they went for the f100's because they had coils with twin I beams which I'm sure rides nicer then the straight axle and people probably still think it's too much time and money to make a d100 cool. But I feel the more and more sweptlines like mine start to be built and shown there will be more people following

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
I agree Rick, so ugly only a mom could love them but that's what makes it cool. Looks great keep going bud.

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
that's going to be a lot of hard work, but when you are finished You will have something special....good luck on your build.

When I had my 69 Dodge the most common comment I got, other than how cool it was, was that they had never seen one like it before.

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
Russell ,that was a very nice looking truck ,where was the pic taken ? I have never seen one that was 4x4 either like it .

I have 183K on my 02 Suburban 5.3 and you can't tell it's got any miles on it at all. Uses less than a quart of oil between 6K mile oil changes. If it's in good shape it would be a good deal at that price.

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
Well I sent him a reply asking if he had any pictures annnnnndddd nothing so might not be getting this one after all.
