I have an opportunity to aquire a 1973 Dodge 1 ton van. The price, FREE... Now here is the real problem. The thing has been sitting for a looong time. I think since 1997. The guy said it ran when parked but the trans was slipping. I'm thinking I should part it out but really it doesnt have much rust. A rare thing for these parts. I would imagine much of the rubber parts in the brake system would be toasted. I was thinking of making a Car hauler out of it. What do you guys think... too much work?
BTW, the drive train is 360 - 727 and a Dana 60. I would have to scrounge up some tires just to get it moved. It was an old passenger type van. None of this will take place any time soon as the weather has not been cooperating latley. It is raining/freezing right now. Plus there is still about 7 to 10 inches of snow/ice on the ground. The van is parked out in a field. Can you say "mud bog"? (my slant six power wagon aint that strong enough to pull it out I dont think) . Any way, hello to everyone. Hope everyone had a good holidays!! ;) :D :eek:
