Can anyone post a photo of the front of a 383 without AC and power steering. Still want to take the AC compressor off my 383 powered D300 , but don't know what brackets, etc I'd need to re-route the fan belts, etc. Thanks RJ

Yup Engines size is important --forgot to list it. Anyway , it is a 383 AND NO power steering

I have decided I'll not repair/replace the inop factory AC in my 71 D300. So I am cleaning up under the hood and removing all the AC components. I am down to the big compressor, but don't know what pulleys , brackets etc I need when i take the comp. off. I'll need something to handle the two belts. ...

I want to add a little "bling" to my D300, I am thinking stainless window vents--and they would be helpful to crack a window on hot summer day and/or rain. So, anybody have sources, positive or negative statement? Thanks RJ

My 71 D300 has the fuel/temp gauge problem. So I decided the RTE limiter was the way to go. Their listing did not list a 71 D300, but listed a 70 D200 --gotta be right, no? I ordered a IVR R4, but when it arrived, I found out it was for a circuit board install, which my truck does not have. So appar...

What is the easiest way/best way to remove the bottom and back seat cushions for re-uph. Take the seat out as one unit?

The seat in my 71 Dodge is showing its age. Actually, the seat back is good as new, BUT the seat bottom, well that is a different story. Is there any firm that makes repro covers?? BTW the seats in the truck are light blue and patterned. I always thought the truck has a deluxe interior since it has ...

OK, but . .. ... what is a 383 with 4 barrel. that is painted turquoise/green? It was in the D300 when I bought it the first time in 2003 and still there in July,2017 when I bought the truck for a second time.

Just wondering ... MY 71 D300 has a 383 that is turquoise(?)/green. Another Sweptline owner told me the engine should be red. And this past weekend I attended an antique truck show (310+ trucks) at the Tri-State Truck show in Winchester VA where there was a 1971 D200 with a 383 blue engine which the...

Hi gang. I just bought a 1971 D300 for the second time! Here is the story. Back in 2003 I bought the truck as a cab & chassi that needed love. It interested me becasue it was ordered with 383, 4 speed tranny, and the deluxe (??) interior --carpets, etc, plus factory a/c. all this for a dump truck in...
