Hi! I'm from connecticut. I'm willing to trade a big dodge pickup for an old buick to drop my 455 into. My truck is an 85 with a 360. Lifted with new 33's. Needs body work. I'm looking for good body and frame. Don't care about motor or trans. Thanks, Will ---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ---------- I'm in Connecticut!
I will be going to take some picks with in a few days. Just some info on this. It's a 1985 Dodge power ram w150. Has a 360, 3 inch lift. , holly flowtech headers, 33 inch tires that have never seen the road or mud. It IS a project. Lots replaced under the truck. I stopped at body work. I just can't use this truck for a family project.
I've always bin a dodge truck fan I've owned A Ram charger, 97 3500, 2000 1500 pickup I'm testing the waters but I have a 66 Buick skylark project that I cant seem to get ahead on, I just pulled the motor out and found out that it needs to be rebuilt I just don't have the time or the money to finish if you like i can send you pic's...TRUST ME THIS IS A PROJECT TOO...
That would be great. I am a dodge truck LOVER. Mainly first generation. It is not cosmetically pretty but a gem to me haha. I'm going up this weekend to rebuild the carb. Sat for a year and a half. Can't let it sit anylonger. To sad to see it sitting.! My emailis flintw93@yahoo.com.
Ok. Ill do my best to get some pics. Gotta run for now. My son is 12 today! So I gotta go get more grey hairs from it haha.
When you have a chance can you give me aa little info on the car. Just year and so on.just curious. Wanna no if I can raid my fathers garage attic for his buick parts. He will never use the stuff. He has all ford trucks (nothing nice) and keep threatening to get rid of it all. Haha I don't want that. Thank you. My name is will by the way.
Hey Will, Pleasure to meet you I'm Eric.Its a 66 skylark Now has no motor in it, The trans is a 400 with no miles The car has no interior racing fuel cell in the trunk Barry Grant fuel system 8 AN all the way to the front 3.73 Posi no miles on rebuild. All the sheet metal work is done ! I have spare parts that would go with the car fenders are in great shape. Just bought a radiator support in great shape. I do have a front fiberglass bumper I have good inner fender wells. car has a replaced trunk,quarters and lower front fenders & center brace was replaced. That's all i can think of for now.
Hi Eric. Nice to know a name haha. Sounds like a lot it done. I hope when I send my pics of the dodge that it doesn't fail in comparison .. I. Am not worried about no motor. I have a 455 on the engine stand waiting for a good home. I want to build me a torque monster for around town. (Show the zip splat cars what real noise is). 455 is punched 30 over raised intake and so on. Completely fresh. Not even started after rebuild. In other words the heart needs a body.
My engine was about 500+HP 530 Torque ESTIMATED.. What kind of shape is the engine and transmission on the dodge is it stock or mild ? are the Diffs rebuilt ? Does it drive ? what state is the interior in...Just general questions If the body is really bad I may pass
Motor is stock for most part. Headers and carb. Interior is well used lol. Being a dodge it was used for work and play haha. Not by me though. I dragged it in on a trailer not mobile.. went to work on it right away. Put a 3 inch lift. Pulled the front and rear end out and put the front end and rear end fron from a 1989 in it. Wanted to eliminate the auto locking hubs. I've seen them give out on other trucks and seen them burn up too. New bearings and manual hub assemblies. New ball joints brakes drums rotors. 33 inch procomp tires that still have the stickers on the tread. American racing rims. Trans is good but its a 727 so I was gonna replace with heavier equipment. Body needs some help. Pics will tell all. . I'm gonna actually video it all. I don't want to waste your time. I'm gonna point out EVERYTHING that needs doing. That's easier than bullcrap. You will no weather you want it or not. Thanks eric. Have a good one.
Sorry haven't been able to make it up to the truck. Been really busy looking for a job and so on. Will back to you asap. Sorry again.
Ok. Thank you. I will be calling you soon to just to actually talk to you about the truck. I look foward to it. Thanks.
