DODGE'S Coolest Truck Ever.. The A100!!! MOPAR or NO CAR 

Wow, I’ve always loved those. Before I bought my ‘74 D100 ten years ago I was seriously looking at A100s, and I told myself I would only buy a really solid original, or a nicely redone one. But even 10 years ago the prices for nice ones were above my pay grade lol. Oh well. That one sure is a beauty!

Looks like they used the same pie pan headlights as my 67 d series pickups. My d200 originally had a 225 slant. It spun a rod at about 80k pulling tobacco wagons out in the mud. I replaced it with a poly 318 which has withstood every flogging I ever thru at it which has been a bunch.

What's also rare about his A100, is the fact it's a 3 window. There were fewer 3 windows than 5 windows. The little Red Wagon was a 3 window. Last year of production was 69. I've owned 2 A100s and can tell you first hand, they are a lot of fun. Great video!

That paint is exceptional. Is that a half ton frame then? It must new springs and shocks in it.

I had the van equivalent. I liked it....Just a word to the wise.....It has a 90 inch wheel base and if you start to loose it on ice, you can't correct fast enough to keep it straight. Easy now!

The crazy thing about these trucks is that if you slammed on the brakes they would actually do a reverse wheelie!

Impressed with the A100 but more so with the gentleman owner. Great that he asked his Grandson’s blessing before trading. Looks like his priorities are in order, and I’m sure he’s a great friend. Great video, Andy…..and it appears the Monkey pulls you around pretty well! I want one!

My father owned a 65 A100 van. 225, three on the tree, heavy duty suspension, C rated tires. Towed things he shouldn't have. Eventually ate the rear, but the engine and trans held up. 1st gear was not synchronized.

Wow very nice . That's about the cleanest one I've ever seen.

I agree.

I had a 65 A-100 pick-up. Originally a 273/3 on the tree. Swapped in a 318/Auto. Mine had the corner cab windows.

Beautiful truck. We ordered a 2022 Renegade 40' Super C Motorhome back in September that is supposed to be finished in mid June, is the plant you work at where the cab and chassis would come from? TP

Our high school athletic department actually used one of these as their equipment transport vehicle back in the early ‘70’s.

My dad's neighbor has a window'd Van that's about this year that's slowly sinking into the horse pasture. I've been trying for decades to get him to sell it to me so I can make a "clone" of one these. They are just beyond cool.

Any knowledge of this truck history? By chance did it come from Kansas?

Nice got a 69 A100 pickup slant six automatic I put a 3:23 8 3/4. It honks along great.

There’s one sitting up at my friends house! Nothing but rust, sweep it up and you got a truck!😂😂

It's cool, as it can be. But I can't help picture it with a bed mounted hemi! Like the little red wagon.

Long ago I worked at a dodge dealership and we had one as the shop truck. Seeing as this was in the California desert rust was not an issue. I wouldn't be surprised if it was still on the road.

That needs a rowdy 340

Thanks Andy for highlighting papas truck!

WOW. Hats off to the grandson and daughter as well.

At 3 minutes I will say have not been able to see one in a long long time.

And tony wishes

That’s a beautiful A100

What a gorgeous A100! Thanks for the video Andy! Also, what's the top speed of the Monkey?

The Big Kid in me loves it.👍👍👍👍👍

A 12 min video, the first 3 min and 30 seconds of it being totally irrelevant!

Love A100s

😳 1964 Mercury Comet☺. Yes that was way before my time😂.

Thank you for sharing this Pretty cool

Cool! Now this is a head turner!

It's definitely a pretty truck. I love turquoise🤗.

Wow

Beauty truck!

Had a sweet 61 a-100 with a walk in topper , yes walk in

225 slant 6 'leaning tower of power'

Reminds me of when I did stuff like that 20 years ago.

Phil hit another homerun!

I have always wanted one!

Wow that's nice! Rides so smooth too. Thanks for Sharing.

Sooooo cool! Great video!

What kind of vibration do you get on your monkey

Love that machine. Great work truck and tow vehicle.

Very cool truck! I remember the van’s, back in the day. I can’t honestly say, that I remember the truck. Cool machine 👍😎.

Nice paint on that baby! My uncle had one which was a van. One day he was outside working, and he heard his van start cranking its starter! He turned to look, and there was the van crawling down the street on its starter, with no one in the van and smoke filling the cabin. This was in the 1970s or early '80s, and he simply pulled the battery connection an sold it. He and my aunt had made several trips across the country while living in that van, travelling to art shows. I hope I'm in as good a shape when I'm 73!

Man. That's a cool truck. That's one thing I never did learn how to drive was 3 on the tree. My step-dad had a bunch of old F100's, F150's ect with 3 on the tree but by the time I got old enough to drive they were all gone. I wouldn't even know how to shift it. Lol.

Nice restoration! I do like the A-100 & A-108 conventional vans. I'd like to sit in one some day and maybe drive one. Seems such a van, and this pickup too makes for a rather practical hobby vehicle. I hope Phil Carr has a great time with this van.

My mom had one…got wrecked.

What a beauty Andy Remember the Dodge Deora concept vehicle was based off a modified version of these trucks/vans. Dodge really pioneered unibody vans and this was working towards that. You could order even a 426 workhorse wedge in the vans. Don't know if the PU's were available with that. I do remember lots and lots of these pickups around the railyards back in the 60s. Both CN and CP canadian railroads were a huge corporate buyer of these. Rusted off the face of the earth up here, with our road salt. Really takes you back. Thanks Andy. Gotta say I DO NOT miss three on the trees! Malcolm Ottawa Valley

Imagine being a little kid riding with granps(great?)in that. @61years old it would be the same as riding around in a Model T or A. It would make a great camper. Kid's a happy 😊 camper. Thanks Andy.

Nice 👍👍

Sharp !

That is crazy, crazy clean. Great find. I wonder what they weigh, can't be a lot.

Best video on RU-vid! Love it! Thanks for bringing this one Andy.

Great Sunday to you and your gonna get hooked on the Monkey! Great stuff and true trooper in the cold.

Man, that’s extremely cool and rare. I’m a “car guy” everybody made “something” I like and those A100s are just plain cool!! Great truck/video/ and Monkey ride!!

its been decades since I drove a 3 on the tree. they had to shoe horn that 225 in there I'm sure! thanks for the video Andy.

That is a beautiful truck. You don't see to many of them around.

I like how Andy fires up his tiny engine and goes to visit someone else with a bigger powerplant... a 225 Slant Six! Definitely a different episode for this channel. Good feature!

i love those flat front trucks and the vans are cool too!
