Its been 3 years since I sold the W150 and D150 to go to grad school. This week the lil Ranger decided to snap the timming belt. It was also the week I left my tools at mom's for her to use. Needless to say someone else is working on my truck. If I clipped a couple valves its not worth my investment to rebuild the head. Found an 85 D150 with 123,xxx on it for $1800, comes with an extra motor and whatever else the guy wants to get rid of. Since I havent worked on a mopar in 3 years and havent bought one in 5 years I'm a little hazy on what problem areas I should be looking for when I see this truck. I remember the basics of motor and transmission ID but what red flags besides giant puddle of oil, missing entire floor, frame held together with six bolts and 2 pieces of quarter inch plate (all real examples I saw before buying my two previous trucks) should I be looking for? Please help tomorrow is the big day I'm looking at it!!
