    Picking up a 1976 Dodge 3/4 ton

    I did a small look around on the truck, I think your right about it having searchlights or something with a second battery. It has a big heat sink/relay on the right fender with one lead still going to the alternator. No VIN or ID stickers or tags anywhere. The frame has surface rust...

    Picking up a 1976 Dodge 3/4 ton

    I will check the VIN and see what it says, the previous owner said it was a 318 truck that had a transplant, also he said it was a Forest Service truck or something like that which makes sense with what you wrote. Its registered as a 76, its tight and drives nice, straight down the road...

    Picking up a 1976 Dodge 3/4 ton

    It sounds like it's unrestored, except for the engine transplant, the previous owner is a mopar guy that did all the transplant items correctly. I believe there is a hub kit these days to make it part time 4x4?

    Hey everyone, I am picking up a 76 Dodge 3/4 ton 4x4, 440 4 speed. Wondering what I should look for. Been a mopar guy my whole life, but not a truck guy, until I bought 8 acres. Owner said throw out bearing is noisy, but truck is in good shape other wise. Anything I should watch for...
