We feel confident in saying that this is the finest 1971 Dodge D13 pickup truck on the planet. The recipient of a documentedand#44; cost-no-object frame-off restorationand#44; its not only beautifuland#44; but packs a stout 340 under the hoodand#44; a bunch of creature comforts like cold A/Cand#44; and a classic old-school look that Mopar fans will love. Trucks were getting a lot more modern-looking in 1971and#44; but the Dodge retained its old lookand#44; and with the hindsight that the decades have brought usand#44; it makes for a really attractive pickup. The bright Seafoam Green paint with a white roof is a period-perfect combination and the finish work is show-quality throughout. The truck was fully disassembledand#44; the cab was removed from the frameand#44; and every inch of metal that needed to be fixed or straightened was treated properly. Panel gaps are exactingand#44; the big hood fits tightand#44; and the finish is deep enough to look right on a show-winning Cadillacand#44; not just a vintage pickup. The white grille up front is an old-school look that works exceptionally well on the D13 and all the weather seals are newand#44; so it closes up tightly. Theres a polished tool box in the bedand#44; which is home to a modern fuel celland#44; and the floor is diamond-plateand#44; although were pretty sure this truck is just too pretty to do any heavy hauling these days. At first glanceand#44; youre probably thinking thats a nicely restored stock interiorand#44; and youre partly right. The bench seat and body-colored door panels are pretty much the way it came from the factoryand#44; but look again at the stitching on the seatand#44; the handsome four-spoke steering wheel on a tilt columnand#44; and the under-dash A/C unit. The factory gauges are handsome laid out in a long panel that should look familiar to any Mopar fanand#44; with a tach neatly installed in the dash just to the right. A Sony AM/FM/CD stereo head unit slots into the dash and sounds great in the newly insulated caband#44; and just check out how bright the courtesy lights areand#44; something you almost never see. Everything in the truck is show quality and the attention to detail is very impressive. A 340 cubic inch V8 was rebuilt and dropped between the fendersand#44; giving this pickup the moves of a muscle car. Its got less than 500 miles on the build and with a 4-barrel carburetor (although its plumbed up to the engine bay should one want to switch to a fuel injected set-up) and a decent cam insideand#44; its plenty potent to move the pickup without apparent effort. Its beautifully detailedand#44; tooand#44; with the bright Hemi Orange engine glowing from within the turquoise engine bay and all the ancillary parts wear factory-style finishes. A reproduction decal on the air cleaner looks right and niceties such as power steering and brakes have been added to make it easy to drive. Youll note a giant aluminum radiator up frontand#44; all-new A/C components with R134a refrigerantand#44; and beautifully refinished exhaust manifolds. Its backed by a TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic and an 8.75-inch rear end with 3.25 gears insideand#44; so its easy to live with and doesnt get busy on the highway. The chassis is fully restored and is beautifully framed by the body-colored floors. Theres also a coil spring front suspensionand#44; disc brakesand#44; new exhaustand#44; and fresh shocksand#44; plus a full-sized spare hanging out back. The stance was tweaked just a bit and youve probably already noticed the custom-made wheels with dog dish hubcaps and trim ringsand#44; designed for slightly wider 235/75/15 front and 31x10.5R15 rear Toyo blackwall radials. If you want the nicest D13and#44; heckand#44; one of the nicest pickups of any kind weve ever featuredand#44; this is it. Fully documented with receipts and photosand#44; its every bit as nice as you think it is. Call today! |
