My Memories of this style Truck reminds me of seeing them working at Schools removing snow . Steve , I always smile when I see the Wheel Boro . Love You Man !

[@BiggDave72]

What i wouldn't give to have that ol Dodge to restore

[@brucecourchene8090]

Always enjoy “what’s in the box” segment, hope to see you back soon!

[@jaysmith179]

That orange book in the glove box was from Tony Unaitis. Tony Unaitis in the excavating business. He was a Teamster, Local 404 for 20 years while working for Haigis Transport in Greenfield. He then went on to work for the Massachusetts Highway Maintenance Dept., retiring in 1992. He passed away in 2001.

[@nunyabizznizz7326]

gas tank behind the seat, what could possibly go wrong? glad you are back to yourself, love the educating......

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

I definitely remember PV4 magazine, as well as Petersens 4 Wheel & Off Road from back in the day. Those old Dodge trucks were all over the place back then. The sad part today is that you can't even think about buying a basic work truck like them anymore!

[@hemiorange7210]

Good info Steve. I currently have a 73 D200 camper special that had those rims on it.

[@samgarofalo2461]

Fleet side was the designated name, Utiline was also available in 9’ bed. The glove box door was great for rolling your own.

[@michaelguilfoyle3847]

remember many of these doing duty in the New England winters...nice

[@douglasfehler553]

I hope you are all well now and I hope you stay that way,bye now from Regina Canada.

[@johnlee8231]

Love these trucks. My dad had a 78 w200 snofiter with a meyers plow package. But the big blizzard was in 78 not 76. Quite the load of snow as I recall. Shut us all down for a week.

[@giggiddy]

You keep posting videos and well keep liking and commenting Steve. Can't wait to see you up and running again. But until then, these are just fine my friend. Cheers

[@kevinmason9783]

Another great video, I've owned several of these old power wagons. The last one was a 78 w 200 snow commander with a 400 big block and kingpin Dana 60 front end.

[@jimrky6062]

Hope things are coming along well for you Steve. Can't wait to see you back in the 'yard ... er, Classroom! 😎

[@MarvinHartmann452]

I love these videos. They're very educational. Get well soon.

[@DanEBoyd]

Always loved that birdbath hood!

[@oldblueshhrchannel1847]

Truck looks good and restoration ready!

[@jeffreycarleton1535]

What a shame that old girl is just sitting there! Great trucks!

[@LuminousBlueVariable]

I love the dark barking, hehehe! That's such a cool touch 😎

I thought we were from the same vintage, Steve. I guess I’m a decade prior. No matter. I love your content.

[@googleusergp]

We're all rooting for you to get back to what you enjoy doing, so hope it is soon. As stated last time: 1972 (not 1973) to 1993 were the same basic style. Starting in 1994, the D and W Series became the "R" Series in Chrysler nomenclature. An odd thing that is on the firewall (presumably put there by the line workers) is "No Ticket". I believe that means it does not get a trim tag in that spot for whatever reason. That's not correct, GM offered HEI in 1974 as an option and it became more or less standard across the board in 1975. I know of someone with an original HEI equipped 1974 Pontiac Grand Prix. Unaitis Excavating appears to not be around any longer and it appears that it was a few brothers (Charles and Tony) working together for a number of years, with Charles passing in 2019. Wish we had the VIN, then we could win (and determine if the truck was a Utiline or a Sweptline originally): W for 4WD conventional chassis, 2 for 3/4 ton rated, 3 for Conventional Cab Utiline or 4 for Conventional Cab Sweptline, A for 6,000 # and under Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or B for 6,000# to 10,000 # GVWR, F for 360 V8, 3 for 1973 model year, possible S for Warren Truck, Warren MI assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Warren Truck plant still operates under Stellantis and opened in 1938. It was often called "Dodge City". Should be code DT8575 Medium Blue exterior paint which was close to the car color code B1 Powder Blue that same year. Missouri Truck and Windsor were also possibilities for assembling these trucks.

It's great to have you back and out in the field again, Steve. Never underestimate the power of positive thought. 🙏

[@toddtrue3880]

Can’t wait to see you back in the saddle cowboy!

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

We're all pulling for you Steve. Hope to see you back in the Junkyard soon

[@crazeenydriver]

These vehicles were made in a simpler Time and they were actually designed by the average person could do their own repairs. Like the location of the fuse box for instance. Love your videos man

[@jeffreypinder9398]

Great to see you back educating us on older vehicles, Steve. I hope you are doing well.

[@haroldbirge6881]

🏆Awesome🏆 I had a 74 fleetside had three drive lines one small one from the transfer case to 🍀transmission 🤓✌️

Reminds Mr of my 73 1/2 ton Adventurer. I pit a 440 in it. I miss that old truck

[@dougvanallen2212]

We’re loving the truck series Steve we hope you’re doing well

[@katemdegrood4580]

Howdy and another great vid, Um GM introduced ESC (electronic spark control) to the truck line in 1974.

[@mikesimmons5416]

Hope to see you on the tube soon Steve.

[@sudsreserve5474]

[@jerrywagner4690]

What a great old truck.

[@randyauer7303]

Hope you're feeling better Steve

[@jamesmisener3006]

Always liked this model Dodge. I had a 64 Fargo, 76 Ford F250, and a lot of Chevs, but my buddies had a few 100 and 200 Dodges, and they were workhorses for sure. Cheers Steve. 🇨🇦

[@steventorigian2990]

Never took those trucks seriously after how really good and tough the previous generation of power wagons had been.

[@scottbrown321]

Love this! I have a 76 powerwagon. Not a plowtruck, but still very cool.

[@moseshancock3336]

Yes love to have one of these old dodge trucks they have great lines in the body

[@Ron_Lockwood]

Thank you,Steve. Be well.❤

[@Mark-vd8oi]

THINGS WERE MORE AFFORDABLE N MUCH BETTER THEN MOST CRAP TODAY. A TRUCK DROVE N FELT LIKE A TRUCK. YOU COULD REPAIR MOST OF IT YOURSELF.

[@ChrisHorne-o1n]

Great video, my dad had a truck just like that.

[@jamielacourse7578]

Glad to see you back. Any chance of you crawling around that G.M.C " fishbowl' bus I spotted in the background? Or any buses youmight find. Cheers from Oshawa. By the way G.M is still crawling along up here.

[@SteveMagnante]

To see the GM fishbowl bus video, look at the Channel Playlist. It's a Canadian built unit no less. Thanks for watching and writing- Steve Magnante

[@davidp2888]

Would love if you'd do more content on the Dodge A-100. I hope your recovery is going well, Steve.

[@SteveMagnante]

I did a video on an A100 pickup truck last year. You can find the video on the Channel Playlist. Thanks for watching and writing. -Steve Magnante

[@ricksaint2000]

Thank You Steve

Nothing destroys a truck like plowing snow.

[@chuckwhitson654]

Id like to have that ol plowtruck

[@garyslentzii2796]

I hope you give us an update video on how you are doing Steve.

[@MongoMotors352]

I’d build a Little Red Express but with that snow plow still attached!

[@RecklessEnterainment]

The regular bed was called a sweptline on these dodges!

[@ericwilson2585]

When I was a kid my dad had a 74' snowfiter W250 and I crashed it into a tree at about 70 mph and they had to use the jaws of life to get me out of the wreckage. Oh how I miss the good ol days.... Lol

[@tomm1109]

i heard some of these old Dodge trucks had 3/4 floating axles. The only vehicles I have heard of with those.

[@toddmatson4179]

I might be wrong...But the Sno-Fighter edition came with a Meyers plow...

[@bobbyoshomebuilt2544]
