360-Powered 1968 Dodge A100 Pickup

Description

Introduced in the mid-1960s, the Dodge A100 was part of Chrysler’s forward-control lineup, designed as a compact and versatile truck for work and recreation. Its cab-over-engine layout maximized cargo space while maintaining a small footprint, making it popular among tradesmen and enthusiasts alike. Known for its distinctive styling and utilitarian design, the A100 became a favorite platform for custom builds and performance upgrades. This particular 1968 Dodge A100 Pickup was reportedly built over a five-year period by a seasoned Mopar enthusiast and transformed into a show-winning street cruiser. Power comes from a Magnum 360 V8 paired with a rebuilt A727 three-speed automatic transmission, complemented by a 9-inch Ford rear axle, four-wheel disc brakes, and adjustable air ride suspension. Finished in two-tone Metallic Tangerine and Yellow with hand-painted flames and pinstriping, the truck features a fully reupholstered interior with modern conveniences like air conditioning, GPS speedometer, and a backup camera, as well as numerous custom touches throughout. This eye-catching, modified 1968 Dodge A100 Pickup is now offered with various build and service documentation and a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name.
