Hi guys
I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me.
I'm thinking about getting a hobby vehicle to rebuild/repair, and I kinda think I'd like to get a truck like the one my dad had when I was growing up. The only problem is that I don't really know what truck it was. I mean, I know it was a Dodge, but that's the only thing I'm certain of, most of the rest of what I "know" is stuff I remember dad telling me about it, but I don't know how accurate my memory is, or even how accurate what he told me was.
So, I was hoping that if I post what I "know" here, someone might be able to tell me what I'm looking for.
What I remember about the truck:
-It was blue (not helpful, I know)
-it has a single full bench seat
-it was not a crew cab
-there was a lot of space under the hood
-it was automatic
-it had at one point been converted to propane, but when dad converted it back, it was gasoline, not diesel
Things I might remember:
-it had a floor headlight switch
-it had a straight 6 in it
-it had a carburetor (not surprising considering the year)
-it had the mount for a ram on the hood, but the ram was long gone
Things dad said about it:
-it was a mid year model change
-he always said it was an 80/81
-it had a weird headlight configuration; that is, the ones made before this model had a single headlamp on either side, possibly round, this model had 2 square headlamps on either side, and the model after this one again had only one on either side, possibly square.
-he swore it was a ram, but I see that if it was an '80 that it couldn't be a ram.
From what I've been able to gather online, it looks like it might have been a Power Wagon, but because dad always said it was a ram, I'm not sure.
Any help you guys can give me would really help.
