Grandpa's 69' Dodge

Post by bearxc »

My Grandpa bought this brand new in '69. It doesn't have any body damage and the bed is in great condition (it had a camper shell and carpet kit). After he passed, it became mine. I am going to try and fix it up. It also has air conditioning!

So, in other words, you aren't going to do anything. It doesn't look like it needs any fixing up.

Sorry to hear about you grand father. All some of us have to remember our grand fathers are memories.
Don't ever sell it.

Welcome to the site.

Tell use about the truck, Power plant and such. More pictures please. Is the AC after market?
Their is just something very cool about an original truck.

It has a the original 318. It had 3 on the column, but it broke and I had to put the shifter on the floor. I have all the paper work on it from manuals to all the service records since it was new. It has some minor things wrong, window mechanism is broke and window won't roll up, and cracked font windshield. It has a worn out seat that I need to have re upholstered too.

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the color also. Your Grandpa really did take care of her. My grandfather was a ford guy but my dad was a Dodge man!

I, unfortunately, have to sale this truck. Does anyone recommend a price or website to sell it on?
