Hey everyone! I recently purchased a 1988 Dodge d100 shortbed 4x4. It has a non carb 318, a 727 3 speed, Dana 44 front and a Chrysler 9.25 rear. Currently in the middle of an engine swap here in my driveway in Tucson. putting in a fresh rebuilt 318. thought i'd start posting my build to see if there was anyone else building a Gen 1 dodge for overlanding, also to keep my self accountable and on track with the engine swap! hahah here are my goals for this truck.
Engine swap to fresh 318
Gun metal grey bed liner paint job
Install a holly sniper EFI Kit and remove the Current Potato that runs my engine.
re-gearing to a lower gear ratio
Detroit Locker in rear
swap tires to 35's(currently 33's)
Custom fab bed rack around a soft topper For RTT
Old school KC light bar for top
I work seasonally in Alaska as a Fishing Guide so this vehicle will be a combination of Light daily/hunting/overlanding/camping Rig during my off season (oct-april)
A few questions for the full size classic truck overlanders out there
interior Mods for a single cab you cant live without
Suspension Mods you've done to help these beast behave on the road
This is my first overlanding rig and Post here on this forum! thank you for all your threads that are a daily inspiration!
