AUCTION: 440-Powered 1971 Dodge D100 Sweptline Pickup

Restomod Pickup Blends Vintage Style with Serious Performance

When it comes to classic American pickups, few can match the raw appeal of the 1971 Dodge D100 Sweptline. This particular short-bed example, transformed by Dark Horse Customs in Montana between 2018 and 2023, is far from your average vintage truck. With over $76,000 invested in performance upgrades, this custom D100 is a serious street machine with a modern twist.

At the heart of this build is a beefed-up 7.2-liter (440 cubic-inch) V8, featuring ICON forged pistons, Edelbrock aluminum heads, and a Holley Sniper fuel injection system for improved drivability and throttle response. Built by Advanced Engines, the motor has been bored .040” over and balanced with SCAT rods, a Comp Cams camshaft, and roller rocker arms. Power flows through a robust A-518 four-speed automatic transmission, sending torque to a Moser Dana 60 rear axle equipped with an Eaton Truetrac limited-slip differential and 3.54:1 gears.

Handling and ride quality have been significantly upgraded as well. The factory suspension has been swapped for a custom independent front setup with tubular control arms, while the rear rides on a four-link system with QA1 adjustable coilovers. The reinforced, powder-coated frame has been boxed for extra rigidity, and a Borgeson power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering system enhances control. Stopping power comes from four-wheel disc brakes paired with a Street Beast hydraulic booster.

Finished in beige with a gray grille, the Sweptline body retains its classic charm while integrating modern touches like LED headlights and a Fratzog hood ornament. A Better Built diamond-plate cargo box is mounted in the bed, and modifications were made to accommodate the aluminum fuel tank and 2.5-inch dual exhaust system. Wrapped Hedman mid-length headers, MagnaFlow mufflers, and power-actuated cutouts ensure that this truck sounds as aggressive as it looks.

Riding on staggered Coys five-spoke alloy wheels—18-inch up front and 20-inch in the rear—wrapped in Toyo Proxes ST II tires, this D100 has a commanding stance. Inside, the cab features bucket seats upholstered in brown vinyl, a burl wood dash panel, and a horizontal-sweep 100-mph speedometer. The five-digit odometer reads 22,000 miles, though actual mileage remains unknown.
