My username is the name of my truck also !
I’m in north Florida..and consider myself a true *******. Because there’s a lot of imports here that try to be a *******.
I have a 1977 M-880 (w200 ) that still has the military plate inside, then it was a forestry truck,, and then a volunteer fire fighter truck.. when I got it, it was a awful red color, it didn’t run and had been sitting for 2 years, I bought it from a local dodge guru, with a guarantee, and the chance to sell it back to him, if I desired.
I looked at a lot of vehicles for sale and that dodge kept coming to the front of my mind!
so I knew I had to have it ! I’ve threw a lot of money at .. replaced everything electrical under the hood .2 new carburetors ( didn’t like the first one )
It still has small issues im working out . I drive a semi locally and bring it home daily. So the porch ****** can take its time to get perfect. I’ve probably spent over $400 in rust oleum paint.. and painted it 11 Times ,,Just to sand it all off, looking for the perfect camouflage pattern. The 12’th paint job I nailed it !
I’m also sanding the frame and painting everything underneath, I’ve got a lot of decals to put on it. Some I’ve installed.. most I have but waiting to put them on later. I went with the “scat-pack” bee logo and have a lot of bees to install later,
maybe I’ll start a “ build thread “ here ?
they call me “ CHICKEN “ locally and I present to you~~~>porch ****** <~~
