1964 WM300, serial # 246-1328772, Original owner was Montana Power, I am the third owner.
265 cu. inch flathead six (according to previous owner Herb Hobi, see Sept/1997 issue of PW Advertiser)
94921 miles on truck, unsure how many on 265 engine.
Runs, drives and STOPS. I purchased the truck in 1997 with plans to restore to original, but unexpected changes force sale. The truck has been stored inside since purchase and only driven a few miles. Over time I found a correct third series bed and embossed “Dodge” tailgate. Not mounted, but in my possession are the fenders. The drivers side being NOS. Briefly I will describe what I have done to the truck:
* Completely scraped all grease from all surfaces
* Completely rebuilt the MU-2 winch, new bushings, seals, brake band, spring, 150‘ cable w/canvas cover, new 4‘chain & hook, powder coated black. The internals gears were in good shape and reused.
* Replaced w/new the front inner axle bushings, inner axle seals, hub seals, repacked bearings and steering joints
* Replaced rear axle outer seals
* 5 New 900x16 10 NDT tires mounted
* NOS front drive shaft/slip yoke/u-joints, rear drive shaft still tight
* Installed new thermostat, upper radiator hose, fan belt
* Rebuilt the brake master cylinder, honed the wheel cylinders(4), adjusted brakes
* Mounted new repro. side door and rear view mirrors
* Mounted correct 3 rd series bed, tailgate w/ new center hinge, new tailgate chains
* Repro. Gas tank filler neck grommet
* Repro. Headlight mounting bracket/base installed drivers side
I have the following parts that naturally go with the truck to further complete its restoration:
* New wheel cylinders, I was planning to replace. The current wheel cylinders do not leak
* New brake lines (rubber), front and rear
* New Superwinch lockout hubs
* NOS rear u-joints
* New clutch and brake pins, clutch is tight, brake pedal has some slop.
* NOS seals/gaskets for the PTO, Transmission, Transfer case, Pinion seal, rear diff. seal
* Repro. rear fender welting
* NOS tie rod ends, both
* NOS drag link rebuild kit
* Extra thermostat
* NOS carb rebuild kit
* New passenger/driver wing window glass, passenger side door glass, passenger side front window glass,
* Tire chains, talk about heavy duty, these came with the truck
* Repro. rear turn signals w/brackets, license plate bracket included
