Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
LOL! I think your onto something... This cars been fighting me tooth and nail, I Go to pull the motor (seized, with no heads or oil pan for the past 30 years) and naturally since I can't rotate the crank, I can't get all the torque converter bolts... So I pull the bell housing and torque converter with the block, no big deal right? Ha! Wrong! I go to take the bell housing off with all the bolts off and it's solid on the block... So I start looking deep inside the bellhousing and that's when I see a bolt going from the transmission side into the motor... And to make it even better the bolt is about 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inches long and with only 1/2" of room before the head of the bolt makes contact with the torque converter which I still can't take off because the motor is solid! And there's some other things that aren't going smooth either... I think I'll call this car Christina!

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
Well it's been awhile and the dodge has been on the back burner as I currently have the 59 coronet, a 73 GMC, 79 GMC, my 67, my 59 buick and my 1970 taco 22 minibike as projects but I did finally get another welder. So to break in the welder I decided to weld on the passenger "tailgate latch tab" on, not sure if I updated the thread about my purchase on the missing tailgate piece so incase I didnt, I bought the missing trunion and the missing latch tab that had broken off before I got the truck. So long story short the tailgate is finally fully functional. So now that I have a working welder I will be able to make some much needed progress on my sweptline!

Nice to hear from ya, I thought you fell off the face of the earth. But you were busy on a buying spree. That's a lot of projects you'll be busy for years

A '59 Buick? Would love to see some pics of that.
Good to see you back online. Wasn't sure if you were still out there (or the Dodge). |

Yes sir a 1959 buick LeSabre, it's not a 2 door or a hardtop 4 door but it's still pretty cool and for some reason I actually wanted a 4 door cruiser car so it works out. Here's a picture

Here's a rear shot. Please excuse the bag for a front driver door window... Still haven't had any luck getting another window for it and it's starting to rain off an on here

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
With all the work you have, I guess we don't have to worry about you getting into trouble....lol

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
Darned lucky find there on that Buick. Years ago my Dad had a '60 LeSabre and that was a great car to drive.
Got T boned at an intersection in Phoenix (other driver ran a red light). His was a white one with a blue interior. Would love to find one in the same condition as yours. |
Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
Really enjoying your thread. Had an ex USAF d100 crewcab back in the mid 80's but had to sell it as it was classed as a HGV (heavy good vehicle) due to its size and unladen weight. Impossible to get insurance at the time so got scrapped for the Engine.
Have a real soft spot for the D100's since, look forward to your next update. P. :D |

As for updates on this truck, I've located a original in cut dash and the cool factory dash shifter with a really nice steering column from a 67 camper special that I'm planning to get for this truck, my hopes are to run a lol at shift cable from the dodge dash shifter to the (hopefully) 4L80e Trans and have a stock dodge appearing interior minus seat upholstery and maybe gauges as I might go with SW green line gauges., still need to get a motors/Trans and figure out how small I can make the transmission hump yet still have room with the automatic Trans, and then I can start getting the interior body work done and get the front and rear windows in. Lots of work to do but it's not very hard work. I'll keep you guys updated on it. As for the buick I got a good running 350 motor and I have a good working th350trans to pair behind it and temporary install in the 59 buick to get it driving. Also sourced a 61 buick third member to ditch the Torque tube, now I just gotta see when the guy is going to pull it out of the car. |
Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
Those are actually cold swept sides and are very rare trucks, it was dodges very cheap and quick way to have a fleetside as they used forward look wagon quarter panels. Forgot the year I believe it's 57 wagon quarter panels

Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
Sweptsides are very cool.
https://p2.liveauctioneers.com/1541/...461407_4_l.jpg So is the OP's crew cab. Dodges are tough. there is very little aftermarket support. Most of the time the production numbers were behind International and Studebaker. I have a '65 Town Wagon |

Well I have an update! I got that 67 parts truck! Pulled the dash, taillight housings, steering column out of it to use for the crew cab. Also yesterday I scored the deal of a lifetime! So I've been on a search for close to two years now for a 61-68 light duty rear bumper for the crew cab but of course just like everything they aren't reproduced and since the later 69-71 d100's which were more common to have the "light duty" bumper have a different styled bumper I didn't want to use those. I did find some of the early rear bumpers but they had crack smoking prices (I personally couldn't justify paying $350 bucks for a bent old chromed bumper) so I passed and waited.. And it finally paid off! Found one on a 68 adventurer! Asked the guy how much and he we agreed on $40 bucks, so I pulled it off and now I finally have a rear bumper. I had to throw it on to check it out |

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