hey i just bought a new dodge. 1994 reg cab long bed 4wd 5spd cummins. almost perfect condition and only 114000 miles after a long trip back from Montana. drives perfect and has tons of power, not to mention 20 mpg. but i still have the old ford crew cab..for now.

 

kdhannink,

Sorry to hear about your recent addition. I know we all have our moments of weakness...

 

a ford crewcab on a dodge cummins 4x4 chassis would be pretty cool

 

Are you boasting or complaining about riding around in your Goat Mobile?

FBp

 

Who cares?

 

you can use your 1967-1972 ford to go to Autozone for dodge parts lol.

 

Say what you will about the truck but that powertrain is sweet and for a working truck there's nothing I'd rather have...In my '70 ford crewcab

 

Don't message when the dash falls off in your lap.
Pull the dash out, remove the doors and don't worry about any guages working... you'll be golden.

Just kidding, you said it was clean and I'll believe you.

Good luck, don't sell the ford for now.

All in jest. Isn't this the 67-72 forum?

Peace

 

lmao....

maybe there's a dodge-trucks.com?

 

Give him a break guys. Its just a engine donor truck for his bumpside.

 

When I was young and drank a lot (more than now) and smoked the whacky backy I almost bought a dodge.

I decided to buy another case of beer instead.

Just kidding. I never even came close to buying a Mopar product in my life.

this brings me to a true Dodge story.

I used to hunt deer over near Tygh Valley Oregon in a little place called Wamic. A friend of mine's dad lived there on a 1200 acre farm on the White River Canyon. We used to take these two fairly obnoxious attorneys with us sort of as a payback as my friend and I worked for them so it was a gratuity thing.

This one attorney who never shut the heck up had this little Dodge pickup. Ram 50 or some darn thing. We'd be sitting in my friend's dad's farm house drinking and this obnoxious cuss would brag about his little truck night after night. My Dodge will do this, My Dodge will do that, My Dodge goes anywhere crap. Now my friends dad was about 77 or 78 or so at the time and a country guy who chose his words well and didn't waste a lot of them.

One night about 4 days into the trip this obnoxious attorney got that stupid little truck stuck in a pretty small drainage ditch outside the house. Lyle my friends dad walked outside and we hooked up a tow strap to the Dodge and pulled it out with Lyle's F350 4 x 4 diesel.

As we got the Dodge out of the ditch Lyle turns to the attorney and says "That Dodge of yours really does pretty well, as long as it has a Ford hooked up to her that is". And that was all he said and he walked back inside.

That was the last we heard about his darn Dodge.

True story.

 

If you're running along in your FoMoCo truck and a Goat gets in the way, you can either Dodge it, or Ram it.

That's the "Ford Owners Option" ROTFLMAO. . . . .


Would ya' look where this thread has taken us?

FBp

 

i crossed paths with 80s era mopars around ten years ago and i have never been stranded so often (with the option of being on fire).

i don't have a beef with 1967-72 dodges anyway. Their mid 60s line of trucks look pretty boss actually. Hemi 'Cudas n' Roadrunners, boy howdy.

People have gotten for worse about posting about their new Super Duty here...



about the 2.2l turbo motor mopars i doubt you'd find i'm the only one complaining. this motor's a jinx on the car and a curse on the owner. lol.

 

Franken, I have to agree. I had a couple friends with Road Runners back in high school and they were pretty nice cars.

A good deal is a good deal.

I'm partial to Ford trucks always have been, always will be. But GM makes cars that will blow the doors off most Fords.

 

That dodge was a 50, not a 2500. mine does really well off road. the secong day i had it, we took a trail that started off as a dirt road and ended up being 30 miles (true story) of mud, 1 -1.5 feet on average. all of this in the middle of a snowstorm in montana?idaho. and i still got 16 mpg going in third gear and winding the motor up a bit. not bad eh? i still got the good ol' ford crew cab though. just cuz i got a dodge for fuel mileage (as well as modern luxuries and power) doesn't mean i don't like the old fords. they are still sweet!
