STARTING And DRIVING A 1976 Dodge Dump Truck That SAT For YEARS

[@daddynichol52]

When your dad is present, it's obvious you respect his skill and knowledge and he appreciates yours as well. You two are a joy to watch.

[@rsprockets7846]

More like thee Jedi master teaching his students

[@Lasertrac]

Ditto. When you and your dad are working together it all comes to full circle. Your fan base knows the difference between the real thing and posers/ Great family, proud to be in middle America. PLEASE get shirts that say ""Cool shirts not like this" I'll buy 2

My grandfather sold one of these about a week ago. Good strong truck. Had 700k miles good solid built truck. They don’t make them like they used to

[@rock.doctor]

Back in the day dodge was the truck to get. The were super expensive and built to last. Now they are not so great but then again none of them are so great. Way too much electronics now a days...

[@archechme]

no they don't because they're deadly and inefficient. But, they look so much cooler than any other modern truck imo

Bringing that old girl back to life after such a long sleep is good stuff. Fixing her up and making her presentable again would make a great father and son project while providing some great content. You need to do this!

I love these classic truck videos, like the F100 and this ole Dodge. Plus I enjoy anytime we all get to see your dad. Thanks for the video :)

[@stern12akachris32]

Love your Dad . Old school tooth pick and all !!!!!!!!

[@wesellitall27]

Toothpick, I was fortunate enough to hang out with a guy named Dode Martin of Dragmaster for 5 years before he passed...he ALWAYS had a toothpick as well..if you Google him you will find his early dragsters in the NHRA museum. Your pops reminds me of him a bunch. you're blessed

[@glassvial]

200K and a video shot on Mother's Day, nice!

[@whizzo55]

You and your Dad are like two peas in a pod. The resemblance is amazing! Great video.

[@johnDingoFoxVelocity]

honestly i think you should do a restore on this old classic truck i think it would be a awesome video series 100%

[@danielscott6787]

That's most definetly of the early to mid 70's cab. Distributor in the back is small block. Most likely a 360.

[@tvsteve2]

Usually a 360 has a larger 2 bbl carb i'm pretty sure thats a 318

[@danielscott6787]

Could be a 318. My thinking is a 360 due to it's ablity to make low RPM torque. 2 barrels on a slow RPM engines tend to make more torque as well. Just what a dump truck with a 2 speed rearend would want!

[@dwaynepenner2788]

Don’t think the 360 was available in the medium duties. That cab style started in 74 on the mediums and the line was discontinued in 77

[@6996brandyl]

318 or 360 the distributor in the back , my dad had the same truck with a 318

[@Scottybravo1]

Dad says it's a 383 @2:10

[@mattsgarage61]

That motor is a small block because the distributor is in the back so it is most likely a 360 or 318 big blocks have the distributor in the front

[@Cartier_specialist]

I'm not sure what motor it has but I was thinking 318.

[@batsonelectronics]

@@Cartier_specialist It looks like a 360 to me but I have not had a mopar in 30 years so my memory could be off.

[@dwaynepenner2788]

It pretty hard to tell a 360 from a 318 at that distance, but as far as I know the 360 was never a “big” truck engine

[@ethanschafer6807]

the 360's were used in bigger trucks

Another fun day w/ dad. My 1st Wheeler Dealer car was an 01 Audi TT with 10% brakes. Drove it like that from KC to OMA. Probably not the smartest thing I've done but it makes for a good story. That was 10 yrs ago. I'm getting ready to take my 928 out around the neighborhood in the next day or two on its maiden voyage in 7 yrs so can relate to this video.

[@HiggsBJ]

Sweet! Way better than the R8!

[@rock.doctor]

keep an eye on the small box on the firewall with two wires coming out of it. That is the voltage regulator and it looks like it is bleeding that means it is over heating and cooking the potting material. Thanks for sharing. Always nice to see you and your dad working on something together.

[@alvon911]

The carburetor identifies that engine as a 360, which is a small block, not a 383 or 400, which are big block engines. Beautiful truck!!

[@douglasstewart4066]

distributor for a mopar big block is in the front. This is a mopar small block motor. Probably 318 or 360.

[@ajw828]

So cool to see things like this and the troubleshooting process with you and your dad. Good stuff man!

[@ronaldschawo8971]

That engine is a small block 360 LA motor. I'd love to have that truck

[@davidjames2788]

I was coming to say the same thing. Distributor in the rear, no way it's a 383.

[@michaelchan8915]

You are correct, it is a small block but not a 360. It is very likely a 318. Dodge's medium duty trucks of that era were equipped with either the 225 slant 6 or optional 318 V8 on the D500. On the D600, the 318 V8 was the standard engine, while a 361 or 413 V8 was optional. On the D700, the 361 V8 was the standard engine and the 413 V8 optional.

I Have almost this exact set-up, except its a W300 cab, 4WD, 3 speed auto. Interior is the same - even the big red PTO knobs. All the problems they had with ethanol are VERY common. I rebuilt my carb and dumped about 2Tsp of crap out of the bowl. Luckily you guys don't seem to have a thermoquad on it. Was a work truck too - for the state of MN. Has the same worn redish-orange color.
