1985 Dodge Ram D150 Revival! A Mopar sitting for 5+ years!

[@thelastrebelshow1627]

I’ve had my 1990 D 150 33 years and it doesn’t have a dent in it. It’s clean as it get however I did repaint it. Satin black. I’m keeping it till I die so I’m not worried about it not being original paint besides, it looks great. I’m 63 had it more than half my life. Guess I should do a video. 🤘

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

do it! thank you for the feedback.

[@farmerandsonsgarage6883]

Love the two tone blue. Nice find!!

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

Thanks!

[@garyjubar5733]

just had a small engine fire in my 87. Burnt the wiring harness on the firewall, the wiper motor, the distributer and the sparkplug wires. No other damage, but insurance company totaled the truck because they tried 3 different shops and no one would touch it. no one can find a wiring harness. I had figured on keeping the truck the rest of my life. I am now looking for one just like it. 318, regular cab, 2 wheel drive with 8' bed. I am keeping my old one to either part it out or sell whole. 1rst gen Dodges are the best.

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

@@garyjubar5733 better off having a new harness made.

My first truck was 85 long bed 318... Freaking loved that rig🙌

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

@@Lane-jq3ed you had a much cooler first truck than me. That is awesome!

[@geoffreyb3337]

What a sweet truck

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

It is a unit. Loved it

[@cowthedestroyer]

ive got that same bed on my shorty 80. idk why but it just looks so good

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

@@cowthedestroyer It’s a great bed.

[@TeaMollie11]

This is the closest I can find to my truck, a 1985 Royal se prospector long bed d250, but the colors are inverted on mine. I haven't found any others with the blues inverted like mine. Mine is beat to hell though, only one body panel is undented, rust all over, holes, you name it.

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

Pretty color combos . Must of been the Royal SE options.

[@TeaMollie11]

@@southernrevivalautomotive Guess so, no clue why mine has the blues switched, but I like it anyways

[@MidnightPolaris800]

I had a 89 ramcharger with this combo. Light silver in center and dark blue on top and bottom...was a gorgeous 4x4

[@josephnunnally8734]

Loce those trucks i have an 86 d150 royal se

[@jedk9523]

I had a 87 w250 that looked just like this, except when I got it it was wrecked so I had a front clip from a 79 d100 on it. It looked kind of offkey but it sure turned a lot of heads.

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

That is Awesome! I really love the older front ends. Keeping an eye out for the old school RamCharger.

[@farmerandsonsgarage6883]

I thought you were going to go Kool-Aid man through the bricks 🧱🧱🧱... oh yeah!!!

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

The only thing that stopped it was the low ground by the concrete! Sketchy for sure

[@ScottHolloway-wp2cx]

Nice looking truck

22:49 Is that a Ford in your garage? When the repair is over, it will be interesting to look at this Monster! )

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

Hoping to have that Yellow truck done soon!!!

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

We do have a video series on the Vineyard Gold 75’ F100. Which is 100% original

[@JeronWhite]

Nice truck

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

thank you

[@boronin10]

Pretty decent ol truck.

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

Absolutely. Really liked the 2 tone and the short bed

[@markblackburn8685]

Great looking old truck are you doing any follow up videos on it?

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

Unfortunately no

[@LazrSWGOH]

I don’t know why but mine has a V8 badge on the front fender and I can’t seem to find any other ones that have the V8 Engine badge

[@wyo_garage20]

Engine size is stamped on the side of the block, right below exhaust manifold. Drivers side

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

Good to know. If another comes up that needs saving. Will make sure to look for it and point that out. Thank you!

[@enjoythesho1992]

1st gens dont have the dash problems like 2nd gens do

[@Zestypanda]

Pretty sure it’s because the dash isn’t plastic

I just crack jokes at dodge dashs

Yeah I'm very much aware I own 3 all still have original dashboards they are made of better plastic than 2nd gens I've personally never seen a 1st gen with a bad dash

[@trentdawg2832]

My mother had an ‘83 just like this…same color scheme and all,even the same aftermarket rims…i dont think it was a prospector though

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

She had great taste. A sweet color combo, beats anything these days.

[@stoneseaich3469]

what is the numbers on the dash (7168) for with Mph underneath it?

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

I think junkyard inventory number

[@stevegood3979]

selling?

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

It is getting restored

[@robertreadshaw7640]

I'm bettin its got more then 93k miles on it. I have the same year Prospector and I can tell you for certain its got 300k on the original motor.

[@southernrevivalautomotive]

Likely. Never know. Some are better taken care of than others. Mostly look for rust free and straight body’s.
