Cool!

The starter is still going to make that funny zinging noise though.

 

[MillerMan]

I never had one of there old starters go out like that.

 

[MillerMan]

was this dodge the first true high performance truck?

What does "true high performance" mean?

The Ford flathead and Chevy 265 were high performance compared to anything pre-existing.

Yes. Right before the pinion and shaft break and blow through the side of the nose housing. Ask me how I know this...

a truck built for performance, in this case drag racing. or lets say the dodge little red of 78/79 or the ford lightening etc

it's purpose was muscle

oh ya the ELCamino doesn't count, that's more car than truck

Dude! When I saw this post I thought of that truck!

A 426 Wedge in a pickup and few people knew or know about this truck. My 2nd choice was the Little Red express.

I don't remember that option, it maybe one of the rarest muscle mopars of all.

it was a little bit more than just dropping the engine in, you see the pics of rear suspension?

gauge package, seats etc too

 

[MillerMan]

Dude you say

how about the Dodge Dude pickup
1970 Dodge Dude

Isn't a "performance truck" an oxymoron along the lines of Luxury Yugo and Miata Stationwagon?

you just have to ask why.....
