I am the second owner of this truck (technically, the third--read on). I bought it about a year ago and have not had the money or energy to go beyond cleaning the truck.

The original owner quit driving in 1995, and it wasn't driven until about a year and a half ago. It was driven about 100 miles from Potlatch, Idaho to Clarkston, WA by a fellow that actually bought and paid for it, but never transferred paperwork into his name. He did nothing with the truck and It essentially sat in his yard until I bought it last year. I never really considered him an "owner", merely a "caretaker". It had a tank full of horrible gas, put there in 1995---minus a hundred miles worth. The truck is titled in my name--I am sole and legal owner with all paperwork and documentation.

When I got it home, I got it started in less than an hour, but got a low compression reading on #3. A little oil in the cylinder didn't add much to the 25 psi I was getting. Off came the head and lo and behold--a slightly burned valve. I pulled off the other head and even though no other problems were visible, I had them gone through at our local NAPA machine shop. Tank was drained, flushed, and looked ok. Lines flushed, filter changed and off to the races. The truck lives on!

The first owner documented everything! There are entries like: "added 2 tablespoons of brake fluid to reservoir", and " checked torque on knuckle bearings to 27.5 foot pounds." He kept a tally of mileage. The oil was changed every 1000 and 1500 miles. The guy threw more new parts at this truck than anyone I have ever seen. He was truly one of us--he loved his Dodge truck. Just reading his maintenance log is an experience in itself! So, what's wrong with it you ask.........not much really.

The driver's door has a dent that could be repaired quite easily, the passenger's door needs a new latch. Sunvisors are pretty bad. All glass (mirrors) is good, sheet metal is very good for its age although the floor boards have started to rust and should be replaced someday. Rub a rag on the firewall, and it looks brand new. Bed and gate are solid Mechanically this is an excellent truck---the best I have ever owned. Starts instantly, but runs a little bumpy when cold. Great brakes and clutch. All gauges except fuel work. Carb probably could use a rebuild--should of probably done it when the heads were off. Last year I sold my 2 W300s (a 66 and a 67) and a W100 (a 65) but I held on to this truck for one reason-----I had planed to do a full restoration on this W200. If ever there was a prime candidate, this is the one. I have a really nice Ramsey Model #200 winch with mounting rails and a 205 t-case that goes with the truck. I also have the driveshaft set-up (minus the hanger brackets) as well.

This truck needs nothing but some minor work and a good home. It is an untouched survivor with a lot of life left in it just as it is. It is also a very easy restore. Your choice, either way--a very nice older truck! Located in Eastern Washington, three hours south of Spokane. I am asking $2,300.00 or a respectable offer in that neighborhood.

Lots of pictures available, of course.
