Vehicle Description
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 fully restored,
and all 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. ** PREVIEW
