[@Mopar-Pioneer]

[@cliffgrexton3760]

sweet ride if I had the money I would restore her to

[@brownwrench]

My Dad's 1960 D100 had just the poly 318 2bbl with 3 spd and electric(30%) overdrive.

[@frankborgmann9123]

Badass Sound! I Like it!

[@michaelspraggins5419]

I'm sure it was pointed out earlier in the comments, but Chrysler did not produce a 392 Hemi in 1959. In fact, the last year of the Gen I hemi was 1958. Production started up again in 1964 with the 426 Gen II hemi.

[@chicagovasko]

had to sub I love that truck

[@ericheine2414]

That's real American iron. Iron American Dream on KZbin. Share it. Take a ride across the promised land.

[@flight2k5]

funny, this is lighter than modern trucks

[@jw4620]

What a beauty! Thanks!

[@SwPiotrek]

Cool truck!

[@just_a_guy_doing]

she's a rare gem, not many made, and few survivors... And def not many with a hemi :)

[@MrOnemanop]

He never said, "factory 392", 'cause it isn't. But fun looking truck.

[@fuseli]

Please make an interior startup showing us your boot on the gas pedal!

[@just_a_guy_doing]

coming soon... been working on a few things getting it ready for plowing so haven't had much of a chance for videos.. will try to get one of peddle pumping this weekend for yah

[@fuseli]

Can't wait buddy!

[@jonathancervantes9660]

I got a 65 dodge townwagon... you got any parts left ?

[@BigRig003]

if you switch to a throttle body your just downgrading. just upgrade the carburetor

[@mikeday62]

Nice patina.

[@brent440]

Like that battery hold-down stud spacer kit. Is that a NAPA balkamp part number? ha ha jk. Interesting, that when it first started, there was also an earthquake... Actually, it sounds pretty good. factory 392? I had a 59 D200 with 318 poly.stolen, still have title. seems the pickups are actually more rare. I see tons of these panels and I must have one! Is that a NAPCO 4x4? or later conversion. Seems pretty rare if original hemi. Pretty cool rig!

[@just_a_guy_doing]

As for it being a 4x4 conversion, Def not, it was ordered as a 4x4 with nv 4 speed, dana 60s and a new process 2 stick transfercase. This townie is even more special, since its a factory 200 (3/4 ton)

[@brent440]

I love it! there was a website with at least a dozen of those town panels on it but it was dated 4 years ago. reasonable too. still. I think you'll find your fenders. That 392 sounds like it has almost as much cam as my 440 cuda!

[@just_a_guy_doing]

Actually I bought another 60 town panel just for the front clip, 60 and up used extremely rare fenders, and the ones I've got are solid. A town panel with an early hemi, not sure if it's a 392, went for 6k on Ebay. Not really even finished, just a driver, going to paint the girl hemi Cuba green from the 70s can't think the color name offhand

[@Mr39036ce]

you mean 58' don't you? 59 was the wedge motor intro,hemi was gone.Last year was 58.

[@benzomanic2972]

What transmission do you have mated?

[@ceramic49]

It's been 3 years, I wonder if it's done. And just for the record: it doesn't have "two" dual exhaust, it has dual exhaust. Also, there is no such thing as a fuel injected carburetor; it's called a throttle body.

[@monstercommenter9587]

GW Hunter He said TRUE dual exhaust a term coined when it became necessary by law to install another catalytic converter if you wanted to have dual exhaust, which is expensive, so now there are Y pipes that mimic dual exhaust but only go from the cat back.

[@ceramic49]

Monster commenter ~ Ahhhhhh, okay ~ That makes more sense. Thank you!!!

[@monstercommenter9587]

GW Hunter 👍just wanted to clarify. This man has an accent of some sort and it did sound like he said two dual. idk what he means buy fuel injected carb tho I'm thinking you're right with throttle body.

[@ceramic49]

Monster commenter ~ Yeah, I'm 54 years old and I've been a mechanic all my life. My father owned a Dodge/Chrysler dealership and a general automotive repair shop. Obviously he is a mechanic as well, so is my brother. I showed him this video and we had a good laugh together over the fuel injected carb thingy ~ LOL

[@berhorst59]

If you had really been listening, you would have heard "true dual exhaust". Give it a try

[@vernsmart1835]

Did You ever sell it?

[@loganshotrod4x464]

What transmission, transfer case, front & rear axles that thing have?

[@hawkes1975]

Nevermind I saw the shifter so what trans are you using? I have a 59 I'm trying to do the same thing to.

[@just_a_guy_doing]

It's a new process, 4 speed from the factory. It is a non syncro 1st, 2n d thru 4th are syncro, I've upgraded the top shifter plate to a late 60's with the reverse light shifter provision.

[@timr31908]

float bowls draining or something ..it should start right up ..get the choke right .

[@hawkes1975]

Is it an auto or manual transmission.?

[@aaron71]

cammed or gummed up carb?

[@balboahigh1999]

fuseli, I wonder what kind've boots he wears? He is one hot guy. Dig those sexy lips of his. Yeah, would dig watching him and his boots driving, starting. All the best to you and Quain.

[@joepilbeam4722]

For sale?

[@just_a_guy_doing]

Lol, a little late to the starting line.. Sold her off 6 or 7 years ago

[@tonywestvirginia]

Give that hungry gal some gas before cranking so long. ;)
