yellow first gen spotted!!

i think i saw brian block (correct me if i'm wrong) today. the guy with the yellow single cab d250, 14mm KTA pump head and somewhere around 630hp. is that him? i don't even know if he lives anywhere near me though. anyway, i think i saw him today. didn't see any smoke though must've been going easy driving around the city. just thought i'd share, thought it was cool to see a truck that's been all over the forums. is he even registered on DTR? if i'm wrong, then i only saw a truck that looks exactly like his

I thought he lives in Indiana or somewhere on the east coast??? Hmm, That is a truck I would LOVE to see. That truck/guy is a legend among 1st genners. Did it have the big utility box on it?

I think he lives in Kentucky. His ole truck is a yellow work truck with a utility box on it from what i've seen in the pics it's kinda beat up like a work truck.

Brian live in Shelbyville, Ky. Don't think he'd make a trip out to California...

By the way, his truck is a D350, not a D250.

Not as simple as stated. Frame thickness (and possibly heighth), springs, brakes.

LOTS of yellow utility bed older dodges. Mine was yellow, and the lot I got if from had 10 of them there. Lots of the southern states had them as their DOT trucks, and many of them were auctioned off in bulk to dealers who sold them. At least in SC and NC I'm told.

well i didn't get that close of a look at it. it was going the opposite direction and we weren't in slow enough traffic. couldn't tell if it was a 250 or 350. but if he lives in KY and there are many of those trucks that were used as DOT vehicles, then it probably wasn't him. case closed!

I am pretty sure 1tons have a taller frame. Plus duallies were the only way to get a 4 leaf overload from the factory. Plus the bigger brakes/wheel cylinders.

By the way who is Brian Block? I have never heard of him!
