From the minute I saw it, it was so sharp. Not only sharp looking, but 350 monster, Firestone air bags, heavy duty tow hitch, 7 prong trailer plug, and Prodigy P2 trailer brake. Those features alone speak for the usefulness of Brownie and I have zero doubt that he will be ready for work at his next home. \n\nThe family who owned him prior to us used the truck for recreation, camping, and weekend adventures, and loved it well. \n\nThis is the first Dodge I've owned and it's been fun learning and driving it. I am super impressed, and these are the trucks of my youth, growing up in southern Idaho, farm country, you either had a Dodge, Chevy, or a Ford, and I always liked this body style of the Dodge, even when I was a little kid, they caught my attention. \n\nThanks and enjoy the auction! Take a look at the pictures, video, and description. The videos are fun for me to make because I enjoy all my rigs, but not for entertainment, it's to give you another chance to see the truck and learn more about it than writing or photos. \n\nThank you @hubbard @exoticrarekia and @dobb - my sentiments exactly!\n\nHave a great weekend, all.", "likes": 4, "timestamp": 1633128770, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 7016949, "authorName": "arrhbillie", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/arrhbillie/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "That series of Dodge has the best looking dash ever.", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1633129774, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 7017307, "authorName": "AtomicRAM", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/atomicram/", "bidAmount": 1984, "content": "$1,984 bid placed by AtomicRAM", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1633135680, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 7018371, "authorName": "Travis777", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/travis777/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Would you happen to have the original wheels/caps and the original steering wheel?", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1633183418, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 7018381, "authorName": "neverenoughgold", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/neverenoughgold/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Although mine had the 318 V8, it is strikingly similar to the 1974 Dodge D100 pickup I once owned, even a similar color.
