About Sweptline Truck Restoration Services and our related websites...
Thanks for dropping by! Let's just start with, "I love cool old Mopar cars and trucks!" It doesn't matter if they are total derelicts or amazing restorations, I just dig those cool old classic Mopars. When I was 15,   I purchased a 1971 Dodge Dart Demon off of some crazy dude who was living in a hotel. It was wrecked! With help from my Dad and Uncle, and many hours of hard work, that car was transformed into an awesome street machine I was ready to drive at age 16. After that car and several others I took my mechanics training at College.

In 1998, I purchased and worked on a 1970 Dodge Challenger for three years. As a break from the '70 Challenger, I slowly became more interested in the  Dodge pick-up trucks. Particularly the 1961-1971 model years. I combed the internet and collected tons of information on them. As well, I purchased every Dodge Truck book I could find on these models and I also bid on and won many items on eBay. I collected a great deal of original dealer brochures, emblems, trim parts, lenses, marker lamps, bumpers, grills, fenders, original dealership parts manuals, etc. Most of my materials and parts collection is of the 1969 - 1971 truck model years. I have however amassed a great deal of knowledge and factual information regarding the 1961 - 1968 model years as well.

In 2002 I purchased a couple of Dodge trucks and began a restoration project. The trucks were a 1970 Dodge, "Dude," Custom D100 pick-up truck, and a 1970 Adventurer pick-up truck. These trucks were in beyond horrible condition. In fact, most of these model years are! Even the ones from Texas and Arizona seem to have rusted to one degree or another. One of the worst aspects of restoring these particular trucks is that there are virtually no reproduction or replacement parts available at all. To find replacement parts one must either find them from scrapyards or farmer's fields, or as we prefer, custom metal fabricated. Custom fabricating allows for a perfect fit every time.

This is why I have established this website; "Sweptline Truck Restoration Services," as well as, "Dodge Dude," and the "Sweptline Truck," websites. These websites are dedicated to helping those who are interested in purchasing, restoration, data and history of the 1961-1971 Dodge and Fargo pick-up truck models. If you are currently restoring, planning a restoration, or are just a fan of these model years, please drop by for visits as we do update and add information. Our newer sites, "Sweptline Truck," and "Dodge Dude," are updated far more regularly and operate as a co-op with help from a few dedicated moderators, namely... Karl, Phil and Jim.

Send us an email to say hello, and by all means, please feel free to offer submissions of stories, articles and especially photos of your trucks. We'd love to hear from you!

Sincerely,
Andrew
