1968 DODGE D100 UTILINE STEP SIDE SHORT BED PICKUP- RESTORED BARN FIND-22K MI

This Classic is one of the most iconic models that were ever produced by the Dodge Pickup Division. Dodge manufactured the D series pickup trucks from 1961-1993. The same basic design was retained until the 1994 introduction of a completely redesigned Ram.

The pickups were manufactured with two bed styles. The Sweptline model featured smooth bed sides. The Utiline model is better known as “Step Side”. The Utiline is the rarer and more desirable of the two.

This truck is a complete, nut and bolt, body off frame restoration. Virtually every component, in the engine bay and drivetrain, exterior, interior, and undercarriage has been either restored, replaced, or refurbished. This includes nuts, bolts, and fasteners. Lifetime North Carolina truck, hidden in the mountains. Owned by an elderly man that was mechanically adept. He improved the truck slowly over several years, including fully replacing the interior. He finally sent it to a shop to complete the body off restoration. The work was completed about 7 years ago, with very few miles logged since. Runs and drives as well as it looks. 1968 D series truck production at the Warren, MI. plant began with VIN. # 80001. This truck is the 753rd in sequential production off the line.
