New guy restoring d250

[rollieD250]

Hey guys first post here, been reading as much as i can. Heres my truck when i bought it!



Almost all the way apart, next to my other 12v


And here is where i am at now, just replaced everything in the front end and have just about everything to start my 47RH swap


Hoping to make it a quick 300-350hp truck and keep the VE for now

Welcome!

Are you on the 12v Only page?

Welcome! Looking forward to see how it comes out!

The 1st gen was in good shape when you got it (body wise, needs paint). But, your 2nd gen is a very good looking truck as well.

Yep I like the color on that frt. It looks like some sort of electrc blue/purple.....blurple

I bet that first gen would look good dressed in that too

Welcome and nice project.

Thanks guys! The 2nd gen is electric blue pearl from the newer dodges!!

What 12v only page are you talking out oldestof11?


The body was in decent shape but the fenders were completely rotted under the flares and the roof was rotted pretty bad under the visor, a couple holes in floorboards and rockers were junk, still cheaper to build
This than to have a payment on a new one!!!

Once the body is done it will get some thehungrydiesel treatment though!!

Sounds like a plan
