Well, I was up at Advanced today looking at parts for my truck. I got it cleaned up the rest of the way and noticed a couple small things, and a few big things (like I tore the left rear cab mount that goes to the frame, the steel part not the rubber bushing).
Anyway, the guy behind the counter said that his father was selling a Dodge truck but he wasn't sure what year or how much. So he called his dad and I talked to him for like 30 minutes. Its a 1973 Power Wagon 150 with the 318, he'll tke $150 for it. Its driveable but makes a lower engine knocking noise he said (probably a rod I think).
A buddy of mine has a 360 that he'll trade me even up for a 318. Don't ask me why, but he wants a spare 318 to go in his truck, hey it works good for both of us cause I want a 360.
Having that second truck will rock, cause I can put it in the yard while I work on it, drive my '79 to/from work and to get parts and stuff. Build the 360 (still thinking about a diesel, would be a great time to do it!) and stuff it in there, fix whatever it needs done (I haven't seen it yet, so I'm not 100% sure I'm gonna get it but his dad says its in great shape). Then swap my 6" lift over, or might get a 8" skyjacker lift for the '73. Who knows.
I can barely think I'm so excited about getting a true project truck that I can work on and not being without transportation.
Later all,
