Re: AS compresor. removal
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

Window vents
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

Re: Fuel and coolant guage connected?
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...

Seat upholstery 1971 d300
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 ...

Engine colors
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...

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...
