The pic was taken at my Bro-in-Law's place up near Lafayette, Ga. I took it the day I sold the truck to him. I just thought it would be cool to make a pic of it sitting next to his 68 dump truck. That style was referred to as a Sweptline. They were available as 4X4s but I converted that one using parts from a 70 model, which was almost a bolt in conversion. I rebuilt the axles, had all new drive shafts made, and put new seals in the transfer case. Actually you could have ordered a truck almost exactly like it in 1969, except for the 440 engine and automatic transmission. You could have gotten a 383 engine but not an automatic in a 4X4 truck. I had an original 67 Dodge 4X4 back in the early eighties and wanted another one so I built that one. Every piece of trim on that truck is NOS, I don't think you would ever find it all again.
