Engine is toast, low compression on 5 cylinders (250 lbs) and none on one cylinder,
Body a little tough.
Conversion done in '98
354 NA perkins and NP 5 speed from a mid '60's Dodge pd500 or pd 600
supposed to be 120 horse and 375lbs torque at 2800 with a top rpm of 3130
3.21 final in the truck with a lockup diff
runs about 2000 rpm at 80kmh/50mph
Used to run about 29 mpg (imperial) almost 20 pulling a 31' horse trailer.
I'm scooping 2 tires and the batteries for the replacement truck, the rest is complete.
Glass, doors, upholstery etc is good
Lots of these engines around cheap in older White 7300 combines, Massey 410/510 combines, others too. newer stuff would have turbos..
If anyone's interested in a project let me know, I'll take a few pictures. This was a running truck until a couple of weeks ago.
New price. Someone needs this... It still runs, got fresh batteries, clutch/brakes/starter/exhaust all withing the last 2 years. Some front end work too. Upolstery is good, front seat redone a few years ago. I'd bet on the engine being rebuildable if you prefer, had it machined for the newer style sleeves when it was rebuilt in '98. Oil pressure is still the same as when it was done. Comes with a 1965 Dodge truck manual that covers the engine...

SOLD!!! Tried to change the title, but it won't let me....
Worked for me when I went to edit it? Weird issues we are having lately. Congratulations
