I'm confused... Does the line thread onto the back of the gauge or is it a barbed fitting? Mine leaks right onto my foot, so I need to fix it before it gives me a skin disorder!

Its just whatever floats your boat and makes your socks jump up and down. :lol: To me that short bed 383 w/4WD is a very cool truck. I agree 100%! There was a 69 shortbed 383 Power Wagon at a local show last week for sale, but unfortunately it was rusted everywhere it wasn't dented and he still wan...

So I've been perusing the forum for a while and have found quite a bit of useful info, but it seems like the non-CSS/HPP/PW trucks are regarded as lower grade trucks. I know those trucks are special, but I'm having a hard time finding many shortbed 383/4 speed trucks like mine. Does its being a Cust...

Got some beat up caps for $20. They look better in pics than in real life...

Here's the original wheels, or at least one of them...

They were 15x5s, apparently an option because they're listed on the door tag.

Thanks! I'll be sad when this thing goes to a new home...

I'm looking for some redline center caps, but they're proving to be a bit elusive and expensive!

Finally got rid of the factory split rims! Found these 15x7s on a Fifth Avenue in the junkyard - $6 each seemed like a deal to me...

Cool looking bike. I like the front forks and the way the handlebars tilt forward. Too bad you don't have it anymore... Well, we could say that about ALLOT of things that we don't have anymore. Here is a pic of my RR. Nice Roadrunner! A buddy of mine has a blue 69 RR convertible too. He has quite a...

It should scoot down the road just fine! Still debating whether I should swap on a 4 barrel setup off a Roadrunner...

That is probably what size I'll go with, at least on the rears.

I love the red with black top color combo. I too have a 68' short bed. The 235/75-15 that I run all around the truck look good. And the speedometer is spot on with all the traffic cameras I pass. I would like about 2 inches more width in the back thou. Here is a pic of me and you can see the front ...

What size tires are those? Looks like they fit really well.

They're old bias plies, I think 8.20s but not 100% sure. I try not to stare too closely at the split rims, I heard they have a nasty bite!

Commando66 wrote:I've seen your truck on Instagram. Looks like a great truck. What wheels are on it ? 5 lug split rims?

Yah they're 15x5 splits. I got some 15x7 steelies off a Fifth Avenue I'm gonna throw on it, just gotta figure out what size tires to run. Thinking maybe a 235/70...

Thanks Jim! It just has a tiny bit of rust along the top of the passenger side rocker, just where the lip for the mat is. There's not even a single dent in the bed floor! Exceptionally clean truck, especially for a rust prone Dodge...
