Brambles,
where are you out of?
The one post you made reference to Canada, so now I'm curious.

thrashingcows

He said he's up in the Kootney region.

Yup, I'm smack dab right in the middle of you two. Can't get more specific cause if Thrashingcows finds out where I found my truck he'll probably come hunting me

Update please. Did you buy? Have you started yet?

This truck is in excellent shape inside and out. It didn't come with tach and 2 other gauges (can't remember them) and finding them is going to be a pain and costly. Door panels are faded and seat needs re done but that is it inside. Finding it hard to determine what the interior color is.

Been surfing the net all weekend. I found out about a conversion for the np203 so its not all time 4wd but there is lubrication issues, so now I'm leaning towards np205. I really want to do a nv4500 for trans. Searched all over US on craigslist and found several junky 93 2wd diesels for cheap. I'll be dead if the wife catches on!

I'll get some inside pics up tomorrow. I'm new to these old dodges, was a chevy guy back then. 79-80 insides look the same except the steering wheel is different from what I can see.

Brambles

Just a quick update, a couple years ago I traded this truck for something else....truck stayed local....the guy that got it also bought a 1993 dodge ext cab to put the body on to.

He stripped the '93 frame down, sand blasted it, POR15'd it, rebuilt the rear D70, Installed Skyjacker 6" springs, located a couple body parts put the engine/trans/transfer case back it....

Then I seen him put it up for sale on Facebook.....So I worked out another trade deal and got it back....I'm in he process of putting the body back on and fitting it to the ext cab frame...it has a 2" bodylift with a 1 1/2 floor notch.

Is it a white 80 crewcab ? if so we know the truck . was Looking at bringing it too this side of Border but decided it was better left up there . Crewcabs are fun .

Brambles

Yes it is white, when were you looking at it?

RamGuy84

I was talking to the guy that had it at the time . and had a guy that lived up tht way that had seen it in person .Said the floor's were Pretty Soft . and I don't do rusty stuff so I passed on it .

Brambles

Wouldn't be the same truck then, this thing is the most solid rust free 1980 I've seen......floors are FAR from soft...specially from a northern truck that sees rain and snow...IF it IS the same truck...then please...say thank you to your friend for me

thrashingcows

No I think your truck is a different one. The fact that it is already converted, just not finished. The one Ramguy mentioned was still a 2wd long box gasser...in rough shape.

And Besides I don't mess with anything older then 1981 .I stick to 81 to 85 truck's
Thank's Brian I knew you would Know what I was Talking about .
