2 of 3, my 71 W100 waiting for its new 383

Had this for many years & we're putting its new 383 together & maybe a 518 trans with OD.
frame from cab back is later 3/4 ton so suspension is updated. Just had the am fm 8 track upgraded to 180 watt amp by Barry's 8 Track, so should sound awesome.

Very nice. Got me thinking, what was the D100 383 powered truck? Maybe 1969?

68... sorry I forgot to put it in the headline. It was an Elko, NV dodge dealer's truck, so I'm the 2nd registered owner.

Dodge came out with a performance model with a 383 4 barrel. Not Prospector, or Interceptor. They are like finding hens teeth today. If anyone has a better memory than me...let me know. Looking at your truck made me think of it. I don't think they were a one dealer creation like Mr. Norms. It was basically a Lil Red Truck kinda edition.

Mine's orig 383 2bbl ran really nice with its 3.55 Sure Grip, but that's on a stand now. Its new 383 has a LOT more torque & power so hope to be able to smoke the big drag radials!

The truck I'm thinking of was a 1 year offering with the 383 4 bbl. When I remember it, you'll be the first to know!

Cool. It'd be great to see an orig photo of one. My 71 W100 was a 318 but we put a 70 383 from my Challenger in it. The early 64 CSS trucks with 426's were really cool. Not many around.
