I personally have a soft spot for the 1968-71 dodge pickups. I've seen
a few around here done up as hotrod pickups. Saw a '69 in plum crazy,
lowered, etc. I don't think many people want to see stories about
numbers matching concours resto /6 farm trucks, but adding a little
variety is nice.
Actually, a gal I work with's father has a '68 or '69 D100 sitting in
tall grass. He also has a 2500 CTD, so he's probably a Mopar man.
Probably rusty as hell, but I wish I had the time and money to build
something with it.
