Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''

These are definitely more difficult to restore than a Chevy due to there not being any sheet metal parts being reproduced. You can find mechanical parts to keep them running but no trim or sheet metal. The Sweptline forum that I mentioned earlier is the best source for parts. Glass and rubber parts are available from several different sources so that's no problem. Steele and Restoration Specialties are two good sources. Search on EBay for 67 Dodge truck parts and you can find a lot that way. You can find what you need but it just takes looking. Every piece of trim on my truck was NOS that I located from various places. That gold star on the right fender is called a "Pentastar" and is factory. It first appeared in 1964 when Chrysler started offering a very long, for the time, 50K mile warranty.
My bro-in-law owns my truck now so I get to drive it when I visit him. He says he will never sell it.
