Fuel mileage mattered more than flash, and that's exactly the kind of logic behind this 1983 Dodge D150 YS2 Miser finished in black with cream YS2 decals running down the sides. This truck keeps its footprint short with a factory short bed and sits right on 15-inch steel wheels matched with 205/70R15 tires. Brightwork holds its own, and the grille surround retains a clean finish. The bed is fitted with a liner and all glass appears solid, supported by well-kept gaskets.
Carmine cloth bench seating anchors the interior with a no-nonsense approach. Door panels match the layout, and the driver's armrest features a patch fix. A floor-mounted shifter handles gear duty, and the factory gauges remain clear with an added tach neatly placed for function. Carpet lines the floor while the AM/FM radio stays period-correct, and power steering is equipped.
A 225 cubic inch Slant 6 engine pairs with a 4-speed manual transmission from New Process. Fuel delivery comes by way of a 2-barrel carburetor, and exhaust exits through a single system with an aftermarket muffler. Suspension is handled by coil springs and shocks up front, leaf springs in the rear. Power brakes up front are standard fare, and the truck is backed by a Chrysler 8.25 rear axle.
