OT My newest project

Bought this from the dealership I work at. $900.00, the nice thing is that they are payroll deducting it at $50.00 a week. 87 Dodge ram 100 4x4. 318 ci, Eldebrock intake, Eldebrock Carb, No computors. Problem is that it only gets 12 MPG, but it is fun to drive. Now to find some fenders and bed sides edm

Baddies in American films always drive those.

You got a good deal. Nice truck

Another weird thing is that you get used to cup holders in newer vehicles, this doesn’t have any, lol.

Nice truck, Mustangii! I get 10-12 mpg in my old Suburban so I feel your pain, lol! Remember the show “Simon & Simon” with the PowerWagon? Tough trucks, they were!

Yeah but Simon and Simon’s had a 440 in it. that would be nice, lol. A friend of mine has a Trail duster mud truck with a 440 in it, man what a fun ride, lol.

My first “car” was a 77 Jeep CJ-5 with a 360- 3 speed…very fun and quick until the “tar snakes” sent me weaving at high speeds, haha! Well, just run your truck with open exhaust and make believe

It has a 12" glass pack on it now, 3" single exhaust. It’s plenty loud as it is. Also you had to watch the spring shackles on those olds CJs. If one broke at high speed the Jeep would flip. Thats why the newer wranglers have coil spring suspension now.

Cool ride! With the manifold and carb, I’d bet the cam has been done too. Are there headers on it?

No headers, mopar style rams horn center exit manifolds, no room for duals around the transfer case. But will have a single to dual flowmaster in the near future.

My front universal went out as I was driving and nearly catapulted me over…just shook the pi$$ out of me and actually pulled my seatbelt out of the floor. But I still prefer the older vehicles, much safer if they are maintained.I feel sorry for the SmartCar that meets up with that Dodge

Now if I could just find a 340, lol edm

Nice little project truck! Whats the mileage like?

12mpg and it’s showing 16645 on the odometer, of cource it could be 116645 or 216645, lol

“Nothing beats cubic inches” !!!

12 mpg? Bloody hell thats nowt! In the UK it would cost about £8000 a week to run lol. Stefan

yeap it takes about $100.00 to fill it. 30 gal tank, so I never let it get below 1/2 tank. edm

30 gallon is I think about 180 litres? At the minute around here petrol is about £1.35 a litre, do the maths its bloody astronomical. You couldn’t run that here unless you’re loaded. Stefan

My RV is like that. 27’ 460 cu in gasoline, 2x20 gallon tanks. $160 from empty at today’s prices. It stays in storage. I picked it up to convert to a TV production truck, but that project got put on hold when the economy here dived.

153.09 pounds sterling to fill the tank. sorry don’t have the pound emblem on my keyboard lol. 3.78 litres per gal. so 113.4 litres per tank.
