This is my 4th Dodge truck, a 1979 Dodge
Power Wagon W200. This one was my uncles truck he got it when i was
pretty young so I barely remember when he didn't have it. This truck was
my childhood hero truck. I pretty much grew up in it, it was in nicer
shape back then but its still the same truck to me :) Last October he
sold it to a guy, that guy was going down the road and the driver side
axle nut on the rear Dana 60 came off, the wheel, hub, axle and all just
came out, this guy is not mechanically inclined at all so he sold it to
me at a loss... I got it home and rebuilt the whole rear end. Its got a
rebuilt warm 360, mild cam, 4 barrel Edelbrock 650, TF 727 a/t, NP203
full time 4x4 transfer case, Dana 60 rear and Dana 44HD front w/4.10
gears. Had 33x12.50 Coursers on it when I got her, but I put on 33x14.50
Super Swamper SSR's. It has about 2" of lift (add a leaf/stacked
springs) and it really needs exhaust! I cut out the front fenders a bit
to elminate rust and gain some clearance for the meats... This truck
runs really strong and will outrun alot of trucks and pretty much every
Jeep in town :)
It has a rare ROUND UP trim package, which
isn't really more than a pinstripe and decal package (which are
faded/worn off now), wood grain dash, factory tachometer and 3 spoke
steering wheel. I'm not sure what all is supposed to be in the RoundUp
package but this is the only options i can see it has really. It also
actually has fenders from a late 70's RamCharger that had the Top Hand
package, my uncle had this RamCharger as a parts truck, and wrecked the
brown truck in the front hit a tree so he used the doghouse off of the
RamCharger to repair it. The Top Hand package nobody knows alot about
either..
