From searching the forum I believe I need 1/2 x 20 studs that are 1 1/2" long. Can anyone confirm this is correct. Stock Dana 60, afaik.

So I was replacing leaky wheel cylinders on the PW, started on passenger side. Took a while but got it figured out. Having to pull axle to do a brake job is a new one on me. New shoes and hardware as well. Went to do the drivers side and learned the hard way they are left hand thread. Yes I broke a ...

Thx, I was going to paint it but as I cleaned it up the faded blue kinda grew on me.

Favorite one so far.

Picked this up a few weeks back. Been fun so far.

Got around to taking some pics of the 68 I picked up a few weeks back. Had the resolution cranked way down so they would upload, so hope they're not too blurry. I'm enjoying the truck so far, fixing little things here and there and just driving it.

I was told that the 440 came from an RV. Apparently the tranny is not original to the truck if it was built in 65. I suppose the best thing is to pull the tranny and see what I'm dealing with (like you said). The truck has a lot of custom fabricated stuff on it, so who knows what's inside. Thanks.

The data plate says it came with a 318 and 4 sp.

I don't know if tranny or bell housing is original. Does this help?

Hello, I have a 68 W200 with a 1977 440 and np435 4spd I picked up a few weeks ago. It runs and drives but the clutch slips if you mash the gas in 4th. AFAIK the hydraulic clutches are not adjustable, but if I'm wrong, how is this done? If I'm right then I need a new clutch. Searched and I think I n...

Does anyone sell defroster vents or do I need to find some at the junkyard?

New switch came today. Installed and brake lights worked but no turn signals. Aaaaahhhhrrrggghhh! 30 seconds later I remembered turn signals don't work with ignition off. All is good now!

Got it sorted. Need new blinker switch. Thanks for the help.

I jumped the w-shaped wire to the brass contact buttons and got the brake lights to work! At least now I know I just need a new blinker switch assembly. Couldn't have done it without the wiring diagrams and other threads on this forum, thanks!

Looks like brass contact buttons are worn down and not making contact with W-shaped wire. Gonna jump them and see what happens.

Pedal switch is good. Getting power up into turn signal, the brass contact buttons are pretty worn inside the signal switch. Thinking I need a new signal switch.

Got the signal apart. Started a new thread

Hello, 68 w200 with a steering column out of a van or rv or something. Taillights, blinkers, and hazards work but no brake lights. Pedal switch good, took apart steering wheel and turn switch, don't see the problem. Any insight?

So do you guys think the problem (no brake lights) is inside the turn signal plastic piece that doesn't come apart?

The hazard switch on the column is not being used, the original on the left side of dash works. Turn signals work and I'm getting continuity from brake pedal switch through the unused hazard switch to the white wire where it goes into signal side. Not sure how turn signals can work and not brake lig...
