This custom 1971 Dodge D100 long-bed pickup is a "barn find" that
sat for over 20 years. It is powered by its original rebuilt 318ci
V8 engine mated to a 3-speed 727 automatic transmission. The
original engine and transmission were removed and restored, and
some engine bay components were replaced with new parts, including
a new battery, new radiator, fuel lines and hoses. The engine back
was completely gutted and painted in a Matte Black color. Power
rack & pinion steering delivers a modern feel with upgraded power
steering. The engine breathes out of a custom 3-inch exhaust with
Borla Attack mufflers. The fuel tank was relocated. Signature
Performance in Costa Mesa, CA, installed a QA1 independent front
suspension, while the rear of the pickup has QA1 shocks and a flip
kit, and the truck was lowered 5 inches all around. The front
received drop spindles paired with CPP-serrated 11.5-inch disc
brakes, while the rear has rebuilt drum brakes. The body was done
by Oscar & Sons in Santa Ana, CA, who refinished this example in a
Dodge Charger Gray color with some added pearl and candy flakes to
give the paint some pop in the sun. The roof and trim received a
Gloss Black finish, while the bed has a black spray-in bed liner.
The exterior features all-new weatherstripping and glass all
around, as well as upgraded front LED headlights with built-in turn
signals. This pickup rolls on 20-inch Detroit Steel wheels wrapped
in Hankook Ventus V2 tires. The interior received a new carpet,
while the custom bench seat and headliner received a diamond-stitch
pattern with red contrast stitching. It also features an upgraded
Forever Sharp steering wheel, and the lap belts were removed to
allow for installation of 3-point red seat belts.
