I found a '66 Dodge 1000 yesterday in good shape and was
wondering if any body had any experience with them or knew much
about the model. Reliability, parts availability, road speed, etc.?
It has a 234 HP Cummins motor, a Fuller RT910 10 speed trans and
a Eaton 1919 rear end w/411 gear. 2 things that are a little
suspicious about the truck are one that the 2nd range shifter on
the main shift lever is not there and 2 that the hoses that are
comming off the back of the apparent compressor are cut.
They say thet the truck runs strong but that the hydraulic clutch
master cylinder bleeds down pretty quickly and they can't find a
replacement.
Any ideas on these situations?
