Thank you Gentlemen

Good Evening, Can anyone provide detailed photos of the forward cab mounts? Restoring a 1969 D200 with rockers, mounts, and steps that have seen MUCH better days. I’m going to be fabricating some of these pieces, and need to know what stops where ‘ general shapes & curves. Hard to tell when the meta...

Here you go. Everything fits well. Header collectors will have to be cut back as far as they can, angled down slightly, and scallop a bend down then back level to go under transmission crossmember. Just finished the engine enough to install in frame. 727 cases are empty and installed for mock up.

Waiting for pushrods to arrive, then the engine will be built enough for install into frame. I can then pull through with pics and clearances, etc.....

I used a 4"x6" timber across the top of the door jams. Doors off. Hood off. Fenders off. Balance the 4x6 on top of the engine hoist, until it makes contact with upper door jams, then slowly lift up. Worked great. Just make sure you have enough stroke with the lift, to lift high enough to clear every...

Still building up engine. Having to work valvetrain meticulously. These d452 dougs headers are very nice units, have them in the shop. Can't wait to see what they look like and how they fit, not to mention how they perform!

Within a month. I work away from home, and will return there in 1.5 weeks. Have to finish up suspension, and get the frame rolling on wheels. Then build the engine up and install. I'll post as soon as I can.

I just ordered a set of Dougs 2" D452's for a 1969 D200. I will post here when I fit them. My dad and I are currently in the middle of a frame off restoration. We have the engine ready for assembly. Frame is naked. When the engine is installed in the frame, I'll install headers, and possibly tempora...

Ok, found them.

1969 D200

Front bushings (including frame shackle)- moog sb266 (1.000" o.d.) / qty 6
Rear bushings (including frame shackle)- moog sb268 (1.250" o.d.) / qty 6

I e-mailed them.

If and when I get all the info for bushings, I will be posting ALL info.

I've been searching for solid info on this subject for some time. Seems 1969 was a change year for a few components or our rigs. So, if someone can possibly lay out some part numbers if they are available, that would be fantastic. 1969 D200 -Front leaf spring shackle to frame bushings -Front leaf sp...

1969 D200 here Are all leaf spring bushings the same size? Rock auto lists different sizes of Moog bushings (1', 1.5") and lists them both as front fwd and rear, rear fwd and rear......?? I'm away from my truck for awhile, or I would measure it. Just trying to buy parts in my spare time. What about ...

Our 69 D200 studs were swedged. You could see the splines gouged in the drum.

Pop the wheel off and have a look.

Slick, So if I understand you correctly, you turned down the outermost O.D. On your hub, to fit inside the backside of the rotor? I'm referring to your first pic. Also, it doesn't appear that the stud side register on the hub is a "precision" fit to the I.D. Of the rotor. I wonder if the backside fi...

1969 D200 / 3.54 gears here

Thanks for the pics

Yes, pictures and a short write up of the job would be greatly appreciated.

My Dad and I will be converting to front discs on a 69 D200 and would be grateful for any additional input you can give.

Post lots of pics please............or it never happened

Also, do you have a list of parts required?

Thanks for the link. Still following, been in contact with AAJ brakes. Going to be getting a parts list soon.

Following.......... I don't see why a guy couldn't make his own adapter plates, as this is the only thing that needs to be "custom" on a D200 front disc conversion....correct? So in short, you could select any components you wanted, then make a plate / spacers to adapt to the axle. This winter, my D...
