1972 DODGE D100

OVERVIEW

This 1972 Dodge D100 pickup offers conveniences including air conditioning, a Kenwood audio system, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, power steering, and power disc brakes. It is powered by a Holley-carbureted 318ci V8 paired with a TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission and recently received mechanical work on the radiator, fuel pump, and timing chain. Finished in teal over a jade vinyl and cloth interior, this D100 is now offered with an owner’s manual and a clear Florida title in the seller’s name.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

This D100 was produced in the first year of the D-Series’ third generation. It has a stepside, short-wheelbase body configuration and is finished in Blue Metallic. The cargo bed is trimmed in wood panels on its exterior as well as its interior planks, all of which have recently been recoated with varnish. Exterior features include chrome bumpers, bodyside moldings, chrome sideview mirrors, a sliding rear window. The seller notes that there is some corrosion on the lower body panels as shown in the photos to the right.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

Chrome-finished 15-inch smoothie wheels are wrapped in mixed Hankook Ventus and Cooper Cobra tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The interior of the cab is fitted with a jade vinyl and cloth bench seat, a color-matched dash, custom wood door panels, and brown carpeting. Amenities include a wood-rimmed steering wheel, tinted windows, air conditioning, and a modern Kenwood Excelon AM/FM/CD audio system with a backup camera.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

Instrumentation consists of a 100-mph speedometer and accompanying factory gauges. An aftermarket Bosch fuel gauge and a three-gauge pod showing coolant temperature, voltage, and oil pressure are mounted under the dash. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 51K miles, although true mileage on the chassis is unknown.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The 318ci V8 is fed by a Holley four-barrel carburetor and received recent service that included the replacement of the radiator, timing chain, and fuel pump. Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a column-shifted TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission. The seller notes that there is a transmission fluid leak.

UNDERCARRIAGE

Stopping comes from power disc brakes, and the brake pads and shock absorbers have been replaced under the seller’s ownership. Steering is power-assisted. Additional photos showing the underside are available in the photo gallery.

This truck was previously sold on Auto Hunter but is being relisted after the buyer backed out of the transaction through no fault of the seller. The sale includes an owner’s manual.
