The One You Wish You Had Back

[quote=special-K;8849129]Both got my attention. It was a nice display piece for the cars and a stand out custom purpose-built on it's own. The one you I wish never got away from me was that gold utility body truck

I hope you get it back

Mid-60s to early-70s 4wd is one of my favorite segments in the truck world. In '77 I got a '69 Dodge W200 Sweptline Power Wagon. It was already rusty so I did a frame-up using rust free body parts and N.O.S. trim, etc. First thing I did was lift and put 37/14.50 tires on it. Ended up with a 440 Interceptor in it. I liked it a lot. But Mopar sucked for parts support. I did end up selling it... for parts. I was involved in a head-on collision with it. It got hurt bad. Everyone survived fairly well.

Only Dodge I've ever owned was a 75 Dart. I liked it less the 318 sounded like a jet warming up, 10 minutes in the cold, and still managed to backfire up the hill. But big fan of Mopar restorations. That truck must have been a beast.

For what it's worth I miss your having the 71 Cheyenne and Huntsman camper too that's one of my favorite pictures, what a beauty.
