The key piece here is your grille is damn near perfect which means you need to keep it and fix everything. White and grey "old school" look or just plain white. That truck is a keeper. I got hooked on the 350 Dodge bodies when my neighbor that was a Pioneer Seed Corn Distributor in the Mid-Atlantic upgraded his '68 IH one ton dually to a '75 Dodge D350 ClubCab Dually with the 440V8, He built a wooden box on the back of the bed to keep the corn bags out of the elements while delivering to the farmers when I was 11 years old. I would help him deliver the bags of seed corn to the farmers and go with him to pick up large loads of seed corn bags from a railcar a few states away to keep his garage full. I married one of those farmer's daughters years later. That man was my "Pop", m third grandfather. Our seven grands call me "Pop" today and as the younger ones grow.
I do have a first gen and the first problems I seen were the headlights and I did replace them this year. It didn't have a boot for the four-wheel drive. I got one this year for it. The radio doesn't work sometimes but it does have the original radio in the truck The middle of the rear end leaks a little bit the transfer case. It needs a new seal in it and I think that's about it really
for what’s it’s worth the truck has good bones. I love these trucks so I say just work torwards getting it fixed to have a truck the won’t let you down. But you do you.
It doesnt have any of the supporting internal mods to handle that type of boost.. my intention is to use the truck to enjoy and tow and a stock turbo gets that done no problem. The compound set up was harvested for one of my other projects!

That's the best dodge even with her faults. Whatever you do to her will be good.
Absolutely beautiful truck it needs work But it's worth it
Two tone all day
Super sexy even in this condition those tires look mean! 2 tone 100% One of these just sold on bring a trailer for $42k.
Two tone white silver
I have a truck similar, mine isn't a dually. Tons of wiring issues
I had that experience on my last one
2 tone, also if it’s got 1 battery add a second battery
2 tone her. I have pretty much the same issues on my 89. Minus the door not staying shut.
Im hoping a little bit of penetrating oil fixes that issue for me! If not might have to swap out a latch
@@EhBrady yeah that might do the trick.
for what’s it’s worth the truck has good bones. I love these trucks so I say just work torwards getting it fixed to have a truck the won’t let you down. But you do you.
Gimme that thing already
If you'd ever be up to trade I got an 83 c10 with low body miles my 305 cooked itself and I 350 swapped it. It has no bad issues
did you say the truck was compound how come you went single?
It doesnt have any of the supporting internal mods to handle that type of boost.. my intention is to use the truck to enjoy and tow and a stock turbo gets that done no problem. The compound set up was harvested for one of my other projects!
I'll take it
Buy my 12,000 mile 2nd gen
12,000 original miles ?
@ Yessir. Still smells like Sept 1999 inside when she was assembled. One of a kind Peterbilt semi style 90’s paint. Up for sale at the moment.
