Selling my 1962 Dodge D100 Utiline (Stepside) project truck with a built 440 and performance-built TorqueFlite 727. The engine and transmission are installed (never been started or primed), the truck is not currently running or driving. Clear title in hand. I am offering the truck as a complete project before considering selling the drivetrain separately.
A significant amount of money has been invested in the engine, transmission, Gerst front suspension, 8 3/4 rear suregrip 4:10s, wilwood front disc, and right stuff rear brake conversion, caltrac arms. Tons of upgraded and expensive part, no expense was spared on this build. It was a frame off full restoration, and it started as a running truck that I had to restore.

This is an unfinished project and will require additional assembly, wiring, plumbing, tuning, inspection, and completion before use. The truck must be transported by trailer. The body, chassis, interior, installed components, and included parts are shown in the photos.
This would make a strong foundation for a Mopar street truck, restomod, drag-oriented build, or custom D-series project. I am selling because of a back injury and back fusion, my days of working on cars/trucks is over. Its a beautiful project, and its sad to see it go but unfortunately I am unable to finish and its been sitting in my garage for 3 years now reminding me of what I can't do anymore. My loss is your gain, The asking price basically covers the engine, trans and drivetrain components cost.
Asking $22,500 OBO.
