My Dads 1st Dodge Sweptline came from the Minot AFB. The 2nd one came from Baldwin, ND. Since then I've owned dozens of these. Currently have 2 nice 71's in my garage. Love these trucks
Cool! My Dad (a brother to the gentleman that owned the "ridge runner") worked out at the MAFB for years. I can tell you have a "liking" for sweptlines - since you have 2 tucked safely away in your garage!
I owned and ran a '69 Dodge D100 HD (running one ton drive train, from 1978 thru 2017. The 318 alwaus started and the trans always pulled her along. A fine heavy duty truck, for sure.
That's a neat truck. It really cleaned up well. I dig the shag carpet seat cover. The tractor covering your plates is funny. It worked. Nice to see a Dakota truck. I go back & forth between ND & TX multiple times a year. I wish you the best with the project.
Freemansgarage Thank You! I am looking forward to the weather getting nice enough to work on this old truck. I'm sorry to break your heart though ........... pulling the carpet is one of the first things on the list!
Thanks! It’s in the very early stages. With only 52K miles on it, I’m hoping the engine is good. If so, possibly new intake, carb, headers and maybe a cam???? Brakes? I’d like to make a dependable driver out of it, not doing much at all with the exterior other than weather stripping…..
Sweet rig invest about 500 bucks and make it a runner. Do away with points buy pertronix kit leave 2 bbl and get good. Holley rebuilt That's a 55 Chevy hood ornament replace all vacuum lines hoses tune up stuff plus get new 15 inch wagon wheels. Leave dents too BRAKES MASTER CYL ALONG WITH BRAKE HOSES...FLUSH RAD AND NEW THERMOSTAT, tailgate??? See what dealer wants for key assy...gas tank prob trash along fuel pump so get tank cleaned....start getting parts now and pullo tank to be cleaned see if motor turns by hand. Oh yeah check timing gear and chain. For wear.....loos like fun.
@@gerry-p9x It does sound like fun! It also sounds like a lot of great advice! Thanks! I'll take all ideas into consideration! I'd like to try to straighten the dents but that'll be after I see what we are working with..... Thanks again!

That’s really cool Skip! Geez, that’s one year short of 40! It must have “stung” a little to see her go……?
Nice truck 😊
Thank you! I hope to make it a little nicer.....

Before cranking the engine over put some oil down the cylinders to save the rings and cylinders. Good luck
Thanks! That’s a great idea! It’ll be the first thing I do this spring.
Flush rad all new fluids new hoses get new brakes and hydraulics. Belts. Air filters new wagon wheels and tires worth 10k

Was VGG not from near there - Derek Bieri
Yes. I watch his channel but have never met Derek.
Actually the original owner of this pick up and Derek’s Grandfather knew each other.
V8 or 6?
It is equipped with a 318 V8 and a four speed
If you don't want people to see your tags put something over the tags not in your video popping up over the tag
Great idea! This time though, the video was already taken before I gave it a thought. Thanks!
Who cares if they see the tags. They're open to the public when you drive
