s1120,
What all your snow melted already over there. [img]/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

Your tractor almost a copy of a Speedex 1832 tractor w/a plow.

You have good back up for plowing those heavy storms.

Now would that Dodge be around 1979 w/318cu,auto transmission also a diamond plow setup.
Looks like a good working p/u still.

Nope, a 1974 Powerwagon. 318 w/4speed. and get this, less than 20k on it.

I've got a '79 Dodge 318 auto. Has two headlights on each side. Fulltime front wheel drive. Quite a different beast. Has four ranges Hi, Hi-Lock, Low, and Low-Lock. Rarely ever had lock it in driving thru the snow. Pulled a lot of logs with that truck.[img]/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Had a '74 too. Had a short driveshaft between the tranny and the transfer case. Right under the cab. Snapped the rear u-joint on that shaft once, man I thought it was gonna come right up thru the floor. [img]/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

DFB,
I had the single head light Dodge 78 4wd long bed 318 auto transmission..talk about a gas hog and rough ride in the spring time...yikes...also engine for some reason burn oil {check the gas and fill the oil} also that white block kept burning out that starts the engine on the fire wall..had enough of her and traded w/about 24,000 miles for a Ford F100..thats another story. [img]/w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif[/img]

My first pick up was the Dodge slant 6 72 used w/a 3 speed on the column,you couldn't kill that engine but the body had its rust problems {real bad} best p/u so far even on recap tires. [img]/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Back than when you slam the door you heard metal to metal not so now a days..heck just try and figure out how to program the radio w/ these new p/u's. [img]/w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif[/img]

Hope you are ready for this nasty storm headed your way.

Stay warm and enjoy your day.

Thomas,

Yes, the '78 had round headlights. My '79 has the rectangular ones. I've got the short box. Always been a good truck for me. Fuel economy sure wasn't one of its attributes though. When I bought it used back in '87 the odometer was ready to roll over. Never burned any oil. I still see quite few older Dodge trucks on the road. Maybe I just notice them more. Sounds like when you traded you went from the frying pan into the fire.[img]/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Been lightly snowin' since 7:00 am. Not much accumulation yet.

Slant six one tough engine.

I guess you're talking about the "ballast" I believe they called it. Many years ago, I had a '72 Chrysler Town & Country station wagon, 440 engine, that failed to start in a campground on the Texas/Louisiana border. No chrysler dealer in that little town; 3 mechanics at the Chevrolet dealership spent a day and a half trying to find the problem before I suggested they call a chrysler dealer and we learned it's a 5 minute job and a $2 part.[img]/w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif[/img] Then I had a '77 Dodge 3/4 ton, 360 engine, that was one tough truck; survived both my teenagers learning to drive, and I only had the change the ballast once.
