Re: 1968 Dodge D200 Tow rig/Daily driver Project

Kick ass project, excellent workmanship! Got me itching for my new work truck build, but I gotta finish the manche first...

'80s square body 3+3 crew cab Chevy with '90 suburban clip, my own flat bed, on a '08 f450 4x4 c&c chassis. Power plant undecided; either mechanical 12 valve-p pump/ 47rh, or 6.2 ls/6l80 or Allison, gas. (I'm done with any brand common rail diesel.)

Keep posting updates!

Been working on getting the front end (radiator, intercooler, etc) buttoned back up where i can get the truck back running (Computer issue).
Got a few things painted and working on getting the hinges mounted up so i can close the hole up in the cowl.
Removed the battery boxes and will replace with steel treys trying to make room for some coilovers up front.
Also fitted the original inner fenders back on and trimmed to fit the 4th gen upper rail
Heres a few more pics.

Re:

Are you going to put an old school bed step in front of the fender? Or maybe full length step bars.

It will have the factory steps mounted in front of the fenders. Not sure if I am going to build a set of steps for the doors or possibly install a set of the hide a way step that come out when you open the doors. All according to how high it sits with the lift and tires

I always heard of you want a Dodge to run better swap it for a Ford and if you want it to run good swap it for a chevy. I guess the same goes for parts as well. I like this thing Zayne, keep it up.

Thanks, we are still plugging away in between collision work. Stripped window channels and doors today and got them into primer. Going to start finishing up body work and back spraying and edging the next few weeks
