67 a100 pickup project

Both seats have these "wonderful" seat covers on them, hopefully the originals underneath are not shot. I torn one spot just to look and it looks pretty good, kepping my fingers crossed



As you can see the old girl has some rust I have to deal with. Probably from my drip rail, guess I'll find out when I sand blast it


old tailgate that someone smoothed out, missing one latch if anyone needs it let me know, the DODGE stamp still shows on the inside and the top rail is also an add on so don't know what is under it. That's why I got a new one instead of dealing with this one. But if your is missing it's a place to start.


new (used) tailgate from texas

Yeap, always been a MICH "rust bucket" The plat is from the previous owner and isn't registered to it, I'm looking for a 67' plate to put on it at sec of state. I've got more pics if you want me to send you some.

Yes sir, that is a chrome grill, not sure if it was an option or what?? still researching it.

R ring has a small dent, but it came with a spare, 225 w/ 727 auto bad news is I broke the spacer pulling the engine so I am looking for one before I take the plunge and drop a V8 in it.

Nice project.

RE: The chrome grille..
I far as I know this was never an option. In all the dealer brochures I have, a chrome grille is never mentioned. Even the pics of the Custom Sportsmans, which were top of the line don't show a chrome grille. Probably chromed by a previous owner.

Brian Bowie may have a spare spacer/adapter but I'm not sure if he'll part with it. Do you have his number?

Yeap, got brian's number. G-man has been helping me out to track one down and I think he found one for me last night, just waiting on an email from the possible source. More to follow.... Oh yeah, sorry for all the pics scattered around, fixed it this am

Very cool project. Keep the pic's coming.
Looking at a A100 Trk myself so I will be watching to see how yours comes along..

Nice truck, last year at Bakers there were plenty of mopars. Good score on the extra tailgate, those have got to be hard to find. I have lots of license plates if you need one, I will be in Ann Arbor in April for the bike meet the 26th. I have a 1970 A-100 pickup that I need to finish. Dan

1970 pickups are the rarest of pickups, lowest production year.

hey... They made more than 1 yellow truck, I have that same color yellow on the box floor and I was wondering if it was the original color. Glad to see it on yours so I can look at it for a while and decide if it's for me or if I'm going to another color.

Ok.... "the kid" /apprentice wants to take the "slots" off the 67' and put them on the 68' sportsman and put these hubcaps on the 67' with steel wheels??? What'cha think???

One thing though,you don't see a lot of hub caps anymore.
How good is "the Apprentice" at changing wheels? lol

Hmmmmm. I dunno. I kinda think the slots would look better on the pickup rather than the van.

Those are neat wheel covers....look to be from a 1950's Dodge pickup.

Yep, with Nate on this one.
Slot's on the truck and Hub's on the van for sure...

Moe... He is a lot better at it than me... He has 2 good hands, Just can't get the hang of how to plug the impact into the air hose though. Anybody tried to put some 9" wheels on the back and not hit the fender lip??? They have a 3 1/2" backspace.

About the widest I've seen go on the back of an A and not rub is a 275/60R15 on an 8" wheel.

If the price stays down on them I might just give them a try with a different size tire and see what happens... guess Imcould always add a leaf and rearch if necessary... thanks

Looks like another one for Bakers this year!!!

Me for sure one of the A's I hope... Putting my parts together everyday.. I think my dog and the UPS man are on first name basis now.
