1993 Dodge D150
Half-ton Mopar pickup, second project on the channel. Real-world rescue, repair, and revival, one weekend at a time.
Project Overview
The D150 is the second active build on the channel and a different kind of project than the K5. Where the K5 is a full teardown rebuild, the D150 is the running, driving Mopar half-ton we're sorting out one job at a time. Brakes, fluids, electrical gremlins, and the small fixes that keep a 30-plus-year-old truck honest.
It is a real driver, not a trailer queen. Every video on this page is a step in keeping it on the road.
Build Goals
Reliable Driver
Sort the basics first: cooling, brakes, fluids, lights, fuel system. Get it road-trip dependable before chasing extras.
Original Charm
Keep the early-90s Dodge look. Period-correct over restomod, honest patina over fresh paint.
Useful Truck
It's a pickup, so it needs to act like one. Bed liner, tow wiring, working lights, dependable hitch.
Document Everything
Every fix on camera. The viewer should be able to tackle the same job on their D150, Ramcharger, or Dakota.
