Bob Kinker Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I finally found one!!! Had to go to Florida to get it, but I needed to make a road trip. It's a 1966 A-100, the previous owner was going to make a "Little Red Wagon" type vehicle out of it. He had stripped down, ready to start it's restification. Unfortunately, he passed away before any more could be done to it. My plans are to put it back reasonably close to stock, using it's "leaning tower of power" & automatic. Body work will start sometime early next year. Enjoy the pics. I will update as progress is made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) NICE!! I love my '67 A100 318 V8 automatic, original except for the layers of extra paint and the wheels. Mine was originally Desert Turquoise with a white stripe. You will LOVE driving it.

Bob Kinker Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 quite a few years ago, I had a 67 A-108, 318, 3 speed manual. at that time, I had the only V-8 powered van in town. Had a ball with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) Yep.....red is awesome on these trucks. The Little Red Wagon, of course, was my inspiration to get one......since I was about 13 years old.

Bob Kinker Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 I have a list of parts suppliers for A-100's. Mostly part numbers for parts available at local Auto Parts houses, but also info on the few body panels available. I wasn't able to take good undercarriage pics, but the brownish looking stuff isn't rust. factory primer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Nice....from A100s to a 300H!! Thanks for the little bit of MoPar heaven. I see that you got the tailgate with the pickup....good thing because they are scarce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Kinker Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 are you referring to the Blue car? Desoto.or my Imperial?the A-100 was advertised as complete, but was missing the whole heater. luckily I found one on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I was referring to all of the cars in your photo display link above and the fact that the tail gate is still with your A100....they are usually gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Kinker Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 OK. i guess I was rather lucky. I did notice something strange about the engine/trans. There is an adapter plate between them. i was told that the pickups got the heavy duty big block 727, with the adapter plate to mount the slant 6.

keiser31 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Mine came with the V8 and I have never noticed the connection on the slant six automatic transmissions....makes sense, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rev.blackmouth Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I have a tailgate and rear window that was removed from a 66 A100 when the truck was new. Does any one have any ideas as to the value of those items? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrytravler Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Have a nice 273 commando engine that would work nice in that truck.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scottsautomotive Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I have been looking for a tailgate. Just found a 66 that is in pieces, in the process of making a little red wagon thats a driver.I don't yet know what else I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rev.blackmouth Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Besides the tailgate the only other thing that I have left is a original rear window glass.
