So I had decided to try to make it to Pomona after picking up the truck and find a shop that would possibly let me rent a work space for a day. Not having any contacts in that part of the world, I called O’Reilly’s, Auto Zone, and Advanced Auto Parts in Pomona this evening just to see if any of...

Your very last statement is why I’m looking across the country... There are a total of 0 Sweptline shortbed 2wd trucks within 300mi of me and the ones outside of that all need rust repaired. I have done a little metal work but I’m not good at it and spend a lot of time trying only to be...

Thanks! We’re booked to fly out there on 4/26 so I have a little time to see what I can come up with...

Yes, we bought it from the guy that bought it in 2005 from Mr. Strope. Still had the same rear tires dated 2003! He said he had never been on a long trip so we left his house and drove home over 2hrs! What more could you give a car than the road?!? It’s their purpose!

That’s awesome! I looked into shipping the truck across the country but there’s just no fun in that... All of the cars we have that ran when we purchased them were driven home. Some were as close as 40mi and some were like the 74 Duster and road tripped from Cincinnati, OH back to TN. We’ve just...

Thanks guys! We have a couple more but these are the ones currently moving under their own power fairly reliably... The 71 Newport was built in 03 by Steve Strope. You can read about it here if you would like: https://www.hotrod.com/articles/mopp-0312-1970-chrysler-newport/

Thought I would share a few pics of my daily pickup as well since we all like pics and it’s a truck! I bought this truck right at 10yrs ago with just over 50k mi on it. I drive it nearly everyday so it currently has a little over 125k mi. It’s a blast to own and operate!

Thanks! I will look into that. I’ve never heard of stall rentals but I’ve never spent much time in a city like LA...

I am not on the c body forum. I have spent time scrolling through from time to time learning different things. I have been on the a body forum for several years tho.

And this is the truck I would like to try to make a 30hr drive in... I just need a way to go over it a bit and replace the obvious.

Hi all, New member from TN here and looking to join the truck crowd soon! Little back story... Ive been around old Mopars my whole life, dad still has his first car (72 Scamp), so I’m not new to Mopars but new to this platform. Between dad and myself we have several old Mopars. Nothing really...
