Vehicle Description
1960 Dodge D100 Sweptline Longbed Half-ton Pickup Truck One of
6,922 V-8 Dodge D100 trucks made in 1960 Wraparound windshield and
rear window 318 CID V-8 engine (A-code) with two-bbl. carb
Three-speed manual transmission Silver over Angus Black exterior
with matching interior Heater and new battery 116-inch wheelbase
and 5,100-pound GVWR Though Dodge?s pickup trucks were redesigned
in 1957, with larger V-8 engines and the pushbutton automatic
transmission; they gained quad headlights in 1958 with suspended
pedals, concealed running boards, hydraulic clutch; they all had a
new instrument panel in 1959, yet 1960 was a carryover year as the
company prepped for its new 1961 trucks. Dressed in a sharp
combination of Silver over Angus Black, the exterior is in overall
very good order. This example is one of 6,922 V-8-equipped D100
trucks made in 1960. The windshield and rear window are both
wraparounds, allowing for great visibility in any regular
direction. The back window offers 636-square-inches of glass. The
bodywork is straight and solid, the engine bay is very tidy, the
cargo bed is in very good condition and the chrome front bumper
looks fine. This rig rolls on Coker Classic wide whitewall,
bias-ply tires, size G78-15 at every corner. Each tire is mounted
on a steel wheel painted silver and with a factory center cap. The
tires are in very good condition, as are the wheels. This truck
rides on a 116-inch wheelbase, has a 5,100-pound GVWR and a
17.4-gallon gas tank. At the time, Dodge boasted the biggest V-8 in
its class, the 318 CID A-code engine. It had rounded combustion
chambers to reduce carbon deposits and allow use of regular gas; it
included free-turning exhaust valves, floating piston pins,
shunt-type oil filter and rotary oil pump (not used by competing
engines). The motor is backed by three-speed manual transmission
with an 11-inch clutch. Driver convenience features include a floor
heater and there is a new Super Start battery under the hood.
Inside, bright, spacious, comfortable Dodge cabs had rich new
colors, with harmonizing seat fabrics; a wrap-around windshield; a
56-inch-wide seat with coil-spring construction and optional
foam-rubber padding. The standard cab had included an ash tray,
dome light, non-sag head-lining, fiberboard door panels, rubber
floor mats, sun visor on driver's side only, fully adjustable seat,
suspended pedals, wrap-around windshield, pull-type exterior door
handles, key locks in both cab doors, driver's side outside mirror,
single-speed electric windshield wipers, driver-adjustable
hand-brake, hooded instrument cluster, sound-deadener on cab floor,
deep-center steering wheel, and roomy dispatch box. Custom cabs
added an armrest for driver's side, variable-speed electric wipers,
insulated dash lining, sound-absorbent door panels, insulated
head-lining, foam-rubber seat and seat-back padding and dual sun
visors. Instruments were placed for easy viewing on a no-glare
black background. Warning lights indicated oil pressure and
generator charge. A unique lever allowed drivers to adjust the
parking brake system quickly and without tools. The seat adjusted
fore, aft, up and down; the seat-back tilted forward for access to
the storage area behind the seat. A concealed step stayed clear of
ice and snow for extra-safe footing. Competition to this D100 in
1960 included Chevrolet?s C10 Apache, Ford?s F-100, GMC?s 1000,
International?s B-series truck and Willys? Jeep pickup. If you are
