Today, we explore a rare 1979 Dodge D50 SPORT pickup truck. These were imported from Japan, made by Mitsubishi and you just don't see them in this condition anymore... Assuming that what's underneath the years of debris and other stuff is still nice.

About this Dodge D50 Sport:
- 1979
- D50, not Ram 50
- Inline 4 cylinder
- 5 speed on the floor
- original assembly line sticker is still stuck to the original windshield
- Was pulled behind a motor home for much of it's existence
- Has OEM pinstripes
- Original California truck
- no rust, just a lot bird stuff, (Hopefully)

What are we doing?
We are exploring what's left of it today and pondering pulling it to the garage for reviving.

What's the story?
This was purchased several years ago with intentions of driving, however, it became a nightmare trying to keep this thing on the road. Breakdown after breakdown after breakdown. So here it sets today...

What is the plan?
We are going to attempt to make this mini truck road ready and as reliable as we can. Then we'll show it or sell it.

Do you have any concerns about today's work?
No concerns today! Just glad finally be able to take an up-close look at it.

Why did you decide to do this?
Because it's time for this to be used or sold so it doesn't continue rotting away.

Would you recommend picking up one of these trucks?
You bet, although, the experience I've had is they break down alot. We're hoping to change all that in the next couple months as we work on bringing this back to the road.

What's your favorite thing about this truck?
It's such a neat truck, there are all sorts of features I enjoy. The 5 speed, the 2 gauge clusters, the pinstripes, seats, and compact size makes for a head turner and loads of interesting things to take in during a ride or drive.

What would you improve, if anything?
More aftermarket parts, please.

What's coming to the shop in the future?
We really need to get back on the 1985 Honda Big Red restoration project, so let's hope for that.

Are you able to do lots of work in a limited space?
Yes, without question. The biggest issues I face in our 2 stall garage is organization. Keeping the workspace organized and both stalls clear of clutter really helps with motivation, which then helps with productivity. Basically, if I see a clean workspace, I'm much more ready to dive into a project or even just scheduled maintenance like today's oil change.
