Car Guys give me your opinion

Post by Hole Nova Level »

Going to check this out over the weekend:

Image

80 dodge 360 4 barrel carb 2 wheel drive, working dual fuel tanks, tilt column, cruise
last year of body style
727 rebuilt, 360 rebuilt , radio not work, no speakers but holes in doors for 6x9s
its a original 360 4bbl truck, I have original hub caps that it came with, you want dog dishes for it? I have them also,speedomoeter needs to be rebuilt,
all lights work, drives stops accelerates all good,
repainted once in 1996, you cant find any bondo, left side wheel well has POR15 put on it 20 years ago, super clean truck
a good solid driving truck that you can still do some work to and take pride and learn about, if the weather ever gets nice around here I will start to work on it myself so if it don't sell its all good for me, (little stuff less for you)
just drove it back 30 hiway miles from storage with no problems,pulls good, tight stearing, comes with the thousand dollar 2 year old topper ( but only seen 6 months of sunlight)
, has class 3 hitch, I bought it in Oklahoma in 1993 (army) original California truck, y)
truck has spent a lot of its life in storage, 98-02 while I was overseas and again in 03-07 stored, then stored every winter after that and only occasionally drove it during the summer

4900 for the truck with topper, obo, D-150 mopars


Need interpretation on the description, barely any idea WTF old dude is talking about!

Old boy wants 4900. I'm gonna offer 3500 if I like it.

727 is referring to the transmission
360 is referring to the engine.
POR15 is a rust prevention/paint

Anything else unclear?

I dig the truck, but it's probably gonna need a bit of work

Probably worth it. 70's-80's era trucks are going for crazy money these days.

One thing wrong with the ad. That was not the last year for that body style. Chrysler made that body style from 1972-1993 with only a few cosmetic changes along the way.

Ok, I just found the CL ad. WTF is wrong with the steering column. All those wires everywhere. Did someone try to steal it?

I know, it's a starting point. I'll come up.

Why do you think it needs a lot of work?

Speedo needs to be replaced/rebuilt
Radio doesn't work and it also needs speakers

None of those two are particularly difficult, but it's a 40 year old truck with a 40 year old drivetrain...if that's the only thing that's wrong with it, I'll eat my own socks.

Chrysler products from that era are toilets. All kind of axle issues. Gas hog. Nasty gear reduction whiny starters. Front ends all wobbly. Better off with mid to late 70's GM or Ford
