Junkyard Find: 1968 Dodge D-100 Adventurer Pickup

I’ve been finding quite a few vintage D-Series Dodge pickups in Denver-area self-service junkyards lately, which reminds me that I’ve spent too long ignoring Detroit pickups of the 1960s and 1970s in this series. I see them, but (unless an old truck has a GMC V6 and a bunch of ancient Deadhead stickers) I usually don’t photograph them. So, the Dodges: I shared this ’74 D-200 Club Cab and this ’73 D-100 Adventurer last week, and now we’ve got a ’68 Adventurer that shares quite a few components with my ’66 A-100 van.

  • James Jones The only thing that concerns ,me is a government-mandated back door--you get in and your car drives you to the police station where yo are arrested for crimes against the state, or "you can't drive because we must achieve our energy conservation goals". Not to mention that once there's a back door, any sufficiently smart person can use it--you can't create a back door only usable by those whose hearts are true. So then there'd be the risk of someone telling my self-driving car to drive off the side of a mountain/into a river/etc.

My post army retirement time will be restoring those old bikes next to the 02 Hayabusa, 05 Suzuki Vstrom and klr 650. I love riding but at much reduced speeds nowadays. I got it out of my system as a young flight Lieutenant.
