Dodge W150 with the Miser package, special pinstripes, options, but with a slant six backed by an NP435 granny trans and 3.54 axle ratios. Was a smogged down 1 barrel slant six. I added an Offenhauser intake and Carter AFB from a 273 commando. This combo works great! Even with the stock wimpy cam. I can go around corners in town in 3rd gear now, before I had to downshift to 2nd if I got below 20 mph or so. Pulls fallen trees with ease in 4LOW and in 1st gear (7.05 ratio). Has factory A/C, an oddity in my opinion. 103,000 miles, was my grandfather's gravity box truck.

  • Thats awesome man. Thing looks really nice. Sounds like it runs good with the big carb too. smooth. Can't wait till i get exhaust on mine, so it sounds better.

  • @tommartyn Yea, this truck sounded just like yours when I got it from my grandmother. The exhaust manifold was cracked in half. Got a super six exhaust manifold and ditched the cat and factory exhaust. Now has a turbo muffler and a turn down. As you can hear in the video, it is indeed smooth. Runs 2100 rpm at 60 with 31" tires according to my $30 sunpro tach and a local radar speed limit sign. Power falls off completely at 4,000 rpm with the factory cam.

  • Cool truck! My friend just picked up an 85 W100 Shortbed with the 225/NP435 and 3.54 gears. Cool truck for sure. I like yours alot too man! With 31" Tires it seems to be quite a screamer at highway speeds. Haha.

    I wouldn't mind having one now. Good gas mileage for a fullsize truck it seems.
