Newbie on board

Post by bpenn3 »

Greetings fellow Dodge enthusiast:

Well I finally pulled the trigger and bought my new/old Dodge truck. I've been driving Dodges since the early 70's. I've had a Challenger R/T, Powerwagon, 3 Ramchargers (still have a 91) and a Durango.

I just picked up a 66 D200 LWB. as well as a 57 100 stepside (this is another story) :lol:
The 66 has a 318 poly with a 435 tranny and spincer rear axle. It looks to be a camper special with 3 fuel tanks. 1 in the cabin and 2 saddle tanks.

Overall, shes look to be in good shape, the odometer reads ~83K and I suspect that's correct.

the 1st order of business is a getting the engine fired up, and then do a full hydraulic brake system rebuild. My end goal is to have a truck to use around my place here in Lockhart Tx.

Anyway, looking forward to getting my D200 back on the road.

Ben
