I know the 66 318 poly is a small block, but it is also a wide block. So for transmission purposes is the 318 poly considered a small block or a big block???

Wally, I will keep you in mind if I decide to do the swap!

My 1966 D 100 currently has a 318 poly with a 4 speed with a granny low and a 391 rear end. The speed limits on the freeways around where I live are 75 and most people run 80. With the current set up I have, it is hard to get 70 out of the old girl. I am sure someone has done the switch I am talking...

Just behind the door on the driver side it looks like there is a place for a bracket to route the e-brake cable. If possible, could I get a few pics of what the looks like under the truck. Also, the block that the rear brake lines go through out to the rear brake wheel cylinders is electrical taped ...

Based on what I've read online since reading this all three domestic manufacturers had their own specific name for that type of bed and the common slang, because of the steps, became "Step Side". Each manufacture changed its designation at least once or twice over the years. As far as the Chrysler ...

Probably cuz there is a "step" on the "side" of the bed.....simple, eh?

Well, that is kind of what I thought, but then, I am a pretty simple guy.

Most use the term stepside the same way they use the terms Crescent wrench, Channellocks, Styrofoam, Saran Wrap, Skilsaw & Coke. They are not always referring to the actual brand. Bucky Understood, and I agree. I never knew each brand of truck had their own name for the bed configuration. Probably ...

Stepside is a Chevy term although an internet search will probably give you the wrong information. In Dodge/Fargo terms a sweptline bed has the fenders in the cargo area. A utiline has the fenders outside the bed. All 61-71 trucks were Sweptline Era trucks regardless of the bed type. Chevy has flee...

Does it have to do with step side versus fleet side? Utiline = Step side Sweptline = Wide bed Dodge trucks from 1961-1971 were known as "the Sweptline era", whether they be sweptlines or utilines. 72-93 Wide beds were still referred to as sweptline, even thought that fender "crease" was no longer p...

At the risk of having my knuckles smacked with a ruler... Utiline - Utility Line. Work truck for farms and such.

Thanks for the info!

I am new to the old Dodge truck world, and I plan to start a resurection blog, but I figured I should know a little more of what I am talking about before I go there, so can someone give me a quick lesson? What I am working on is a 1966 D100 318, 4 speed 3:91 posi step side pickup. Someone mentioned...

Good ones guys!!!

Ok guys, I am buying the truck. I will pay and pick it up Monday and drag it home. My wife is not thrilled, but hey, at least it is not another woman, right???? Here is a link to a short video of this truck.

It is not a 67 since it has the early door handles. It is a D100. It is probably worth $5000 to a seller and $500 to a buyer. :lol: What do you think, a 65 or 66??? I am thinking a 66. They are virtually identical between mid 65-66. You would need the VIN (serial number) to determine the year. Than...

What do you think, a 65 or 66??? I am thinking a 66.

Welcome! :welcome :Thumbsup If it runs, moves and stops half way decent and the body is generally in low rust condition [no such thing as rust free...] and the VIN tag hasn't been "messed with".... I'd say its worth $1750-$2150 ? :thinking :2cents If the engine and drive line need the "usual" atten...

I have come across what I believe to be a 1966 or 1967 Stepside Dodge PU. It appears to have a V8 and a 4 speed. I think it is a D100. I am attaching a few pics and would like to know anything about it anyone could tell me, especially around value as a project and completed. I really like this truck...
