Description

Selling my 1970 Dodge Adventurer Sweptline pick up truck.

--front bumper has a weld repair in it, chrome is so-so-back bumper is pushed in slightly on left side-door lips are excellent
-No rust or holes, except where shown: drivers side floor pan to body bushing connection, left rocker panel beneath door, and a spot on right front lower fender near Chrysler pentastar,
-light oxidation dusting of rust on top of full sized bed due to tarp layed down over that will scrub clean NO HOLES
-all glass good except for rock chip lower right side of windshield, does not impair vision
-all windows work
-drivers door needs upward adjustment so it doesn’t have to be lifted to close right
-only one small piece of trim actually missing on left quarter panel, you’ll have to hunt one down
-tailgate works as it should

-auxiliary fuel tanks that were in the truck bed removed and discarded

FRAME
-frame is solid, again no rust or holes anywhere, great shape
SUSPENSION

-may have been changed out due to the D100 badging, never looked into it
-previous owner had every moving part in the rear differential replaced at a cost of $1700 and some change
-and the torqueflite 727 rebuilt for $800, has an air cooled racing pan installed I may have the receipts still, if I find them I’ll put them in the glove box
-front end is a 1 ton straight axle
-power drum brakes all around
ELECTRICAL
-minor attention to the following:
I have to keep one finger on the ignition key tumbler when I want to remove the key, could be switch
housing
horn button installed on dash along with a toggle switch to control the turn signals
hood mounted chrysler indicators need new wire connected
I removed the brake light switch to rear brake light wire underneath along frame and didn’t finish
I bought a brake light switch and hard to find bracket that new owner will have to tinker with
When I did this the lights don’t come on now, they did before, also with ignition in on position,dash light comes on. I’m not sure if that was related, but could be.
I never checked heater blower motor or wipers, but I assume they work.
ENGINE-383
-I installed :
New timing chain
Water pump
New 2 barrel factory correct carburetor
Upgraded to Mopar Performance electronic ignition system
Belts and hoses
Fresh antifreeze and a full tank of gas
Runs a little rich, new owner can play with it.

So there you have it. I’m being as honest to the best of my ability and thought of everything that I can think of that I still wanted to do, if it doesn't sell. I don’t think there’s anything I forgot, at least not major.
Truck starts right up, runs stron, shifts goo, stops, and rides like a Sherman tank.
