@@xChromerSatanasx How is that destroying old rides? You give the old body upgrades to keep it on the road, make it safer, make it perform and stop and corner like a modern performance truck the body and shell gets new lease on life. That's not destroying a truck.
Damn brother, I was waiting for you to let that cat lose! I wanted to see that power wagon drifting and throwing mud everywhere. Awesome build though 😎👍
GM transmission. Ford frame. Currie axles. Atlas transfer case. Fox suspension. Yup. Pure mopar. Literally the only mopar parts on this truck are the engine and the body. It would be a lot cooler if it had the original parts, although I can understand. I doubt the stock driveline parts could handle even half of the power that this engine puts out.
Now we are talking! That’s gonna bring home some pink slips!! And chase those strays all day long! Thanks for letting us know this exists! Awesome truck.
@@amazin1827 It has fox suspension, and why does it need ford parts? It already has a ford chassis btw. GM transmission. Currie axles ect. Not a single stock driveline or suspension part.
@@gasolinediesel972 I was just teasing, but the truck looks extremely useless.. I'm building a 59 F100 4x4 and I have 8 inches clearance on 36's with leaf springs..
@@amazin1827 I doubt that it's useless. The hellcat is actually a decent towing engine and that transmission is literally designed for towing so I'm sure this truck could tow pretty well. As far as offroading goes, it's definitely not the best but it isn't bad either. This is really meant to be a cool truck and never really be used unfortunately. I'm sure this truck put on more miles filming this video and anything else.
Wow! What a blast from the past! I like this style of Dodge. My Dad had a 66 in Desert Turquoise with a 318ci What a great job on the work you’ve done.
Ya know, I've owned a '62 W200 for 38 years. It is the most capable truck I've ever driven. That's why I still have it. It's unfortunate that video wasn't a thing when it took me all over the western United States and climbed hills twice as steep, pulled friends' and strangers' trucks out after they got stuck or broke. I wish I could show it off. It's also unfortunate that you couldn't show your truck doing what it was designed to do. At least get some mud on that queen!
Back in the days when you could get a power wagon with a single cab short bed .... had a 79 power wagon. It had the 318 in it, short bed. Black and silver with orange lettering and orange rims. .... have an 01 ram now, 4x4, 3/4 ton. Will be keeping that one.
Beautiful build. I agree, every ding,dent, scrape tells the world---IM STILL HERE---.older is better. Engine compartment, barley big enough to hold that HELLCAT in place. The underside super clean. damn fine job
I love the build, but couldn't they find anything more challenging than those 'anthills' to show case it??? Heck I could have climbed those baby hills in my old ford Pinto......
@@RoadsterShop LOL Sorry bro, had no idea you were deprived of any real 4X4 terrain!! But I truly do love the build. I'm an old 'Ram Charger' man from way back, my very first 4X4 was a Dodge and it also was a real 'beast'.....
Reminds me of a ‘76 short bed step side power wagon I owned some years back had 440 with a compound low so low you could almost climb a tree. I gave my son a ‘78 short bed fleetside power wagon for Christmas when he was 22. Kinda miss that truck but my 10th Gen ‘99 F150 4x4 keeps me busy.
This is a nice build. Not a dodge fan myself, but I can appreciate the build. Surprised to see they found a decent donor vehicle. I haven’t seen many of these in any condition for years.
That’s a killer bad ass truck! I probably would have ran a poly 318 or a 440 & an NP435/NP205 cuz old guys like me tend to stick with what we’re familiar with. With that said, he’s probably making tons more power with that pissed off Hellcat. Way to go! 🤘😎👍
Holy cow. Dream truck you have there! I just happen to have almost an exact replica of your truck all the way down to the sweet blue patina! Mine is a tad less cool only having the 383 BB
Best of both worlds that is classicy,dude might be single to have a truck like that "HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!"😎😎😎😎😎😎🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟 that blower whins louder than my mother in law😄😆 the whining of blower would make my old lady jealous 😁 But it sounds sweet
