Classic Truck Original Frame Off -Restoration

Judges flip over this classic truck restoration. The Dodge D-100 pick up truck was treated to a complete frame off restoration including chemical stripping and e-coating the body. The finished product had paint and body quality extremely nicer than when this truck was new.

Our Dodge customer's Dad, a college professor, had bought the '67 Dodge pickup brand new because it was the most practical vehicle for him at the time. His son, the current owner, wanted his D-100 to be restored to new condition, essentially reverse the damage nature had delivered the truck over the past 42 years, and add air condition. The aftermarket air conditioning system was to be installed as inconspicuously as possible.

With painted hub caps, painted bumpers and the lack of radios or frills this truck strikes an intriguing note with people now used to vehicles with a dozen or more on board processors.

The Dodge had plastic buttons plugged into holes on the stamped steel door panels, where the arm rest would have been if you ordered them.

The floor covering in the truck was, of course, a rubber mat.

The front suspension in the '67 Dodge was a straight axel and the body bushings used at the Dodge plant between the bed and the frame were wood blocks.

The quality of the build, the adherence to details and the simplicity of this classic truck hooked all who came near and put a big smile on the face of the owner.
