1976 Dodge M-886/W-200 By Douglas Kirk |

This is my Dodge Truck:
This is a 1976 Dodge M-886 W-200 ex military/hospital disaster recovery vehicle. It has a 1 1/4 ton heavy duty military suspension with Dana 44/60 axles. I purchaced this hospital disaster recovery vehicle after it had been retired and sitting for years. No local disasters led this truck to be driven in parades for years then sat with no usage at all. It has 21,000 original miles(318 ci) and runs great. It took 2 hours to get it started the day I purchased it and I was wondering if I would even get it home without a tow. The truck ran rough as I left the parking lot but the further I drove it the better it ran. 15 highway miles later, it was purring like a kitten. My driveway was flooded with neighbors and kids wanting to check it out and see the flashing lights. I have had nothing but fun with this vehicle since day one. Its my understanding that only 4000 were produced over a 4 year period.
