[DonsD50]

Hello everyone, I just retired from the Navy and decided to look for an economical Truck and I scored this guy. A 1980 Dodge D50 5spd 2.6L. It was here in Tucson for $400. Well the truck runs great, but is in need of some parts, which is how I found your site. If anyone knows where I can score some of the parts below, please let me know.

Truck needs front grill, headlight buckets, lower valence, right fender, radiator/hood support bar, drivers side window crank, and most importantly a AC hose that leads from the compressor to the condensor (it is getting hot in AZ).

Do you have the old hose or the fittings on both ends? Then take them to a NAPA store and have them put new hose on it. Or go to an A?C shop and they should have the ends and can make the hose. While you're at it, get the other hose remade as well; the new hose is a barrier type hose that will allow for r-134 conversion of the system. When you recharge the system with R-134, use a kit with ester oil, not PAG oil; PAG oil is not compatible with the mineral oil from the r-12 system. Ester oil is compatible, but be sure the kit you get is for R-134 conversion recharge; it contains less oil so the system isn't flooded with oil.

welcome to the site Don.

ive got the headlight buckets they are used but should be in good shape. do you need the handle for the window or the internal parts?

I've got the support bar and the handle. Car-part.com is better for the fender and valance. You might find it locally that way and save shipping. Youll have to have the hose made. A/c shop should help
