The GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1985 Dodge D150 Prospector for your consideration. This truck is an excellent combination for someone looking for the vintage truck look without some of the constant headaches. This truck is finished in the attractive two-tone color combination of Dodge Golden Brown Metallic and Dodge Cream over a brown leather interior that paired with the factory matched bed cap provides an excellent vintage aesthetic. Mechanically this truck has had lots of work done like new center link, inner and outer tie rods, adjusting sleeves, idler arm, complete upper and lower control arm assemblies with upper and lower ball joints and bushings, U-Joint, Borgeson steering shaft, AC Delco front coil springs, front and rear universal joints, front and rear overload springs, transmission cooler, and new 31 inch BF Goodrich Tires paired with the 15 inch Aluminum wheels to top it all off. The interior of this Dodge features a newly upholstered Brown leather bench seat, cruise control, power door locks, air conditioning unit (needs charged), heater, Kenwood aftermarket stereo. This vehicle also underwent a “Rust Check” rust proofing under current ownership. Powering this Dodge is a 318ci V8 which sends the power to the rear wheels through the 3-speed 727 Torqueflite automatic transmission. Currently showing just over 125k miles this Dodge truck is ready for the next enthusiast to enjoy.

This final generation received a facelift in October 1980 when the D series was rebadged as the Dodge Ram pickup around when Lee Iacocca took charge of the ailing Chrysler Corporation. Such things include an embossed "DODGE RAM" name on the tailgate along with other obvious changes like the grille and hood, the taillights, and the entire interior. More subtle was the addition of a "shoulder" line reminiscent of the GM competition. Beginning in 1982, even more corrosion-resistant steel was used in the construction of the trucks. This body style continued until 1993 and many of these vehicles are still on the road. Many body panels are interchangeable for all models from 1971 to 1993, so it is not uncommon to see a "hybrid" with, as an example, a 1978 grille mounted with a 1974 hood and a 1991 cab. Sometimes the bed is swapped with a moving truck style box for models like these.
