Re: Dodge 2 ton truck

I went and got my second D500, it's a 62 with a 1965 318 poly and has a dump bed. I'll be looking into a hydroboost system for that 70 and if it works out I'll do the same for that 62 and I'll sale the 2 hydrovac boosters for cheap if anyone is interested. Tell us more about the hydro-boost system ...

Hub caps.

Does anyone have a good picture of the original hubcaps that would have come on my late 65 w200?
Also what other years they may have come on?

Re: Dodge 2 ton truck

PTO off the 435 trans. Crane is a 1969 Hiab Speedloader. I am no PTO geek. On the truck I am building I have a dual output Braden PTO (output shaft comes out both front and rear) mounted on my NP201. The plan is to run both the winch and the hydraulic pump that runs the dump bed with the same PTO, ...

Re: Pitman Arm Removal - Am I missing a step?

In 60 it worked the same way. I own one. The box is no longer in it but the pitman arm is. Interesting fact. That pitman arm fits on a saginaw box from an early 80 Chevrolet 4x4 box. That’s what steers my 60 now to get power steering.

Re: White hat special

I’m trying to stay away from the trim idea as the truck was born without it. I’m just trying to give the look a little bit more pop. That trim isn’t cheap either. If I was to go the trim route it would be the 62 style that ends at the tip of the swept part. What yr is your truck? Early long beds ar...

Any parts store. Gates Thermoplastic Rubber Air Intake Hose - 23832
This is good info.
I looked for this hose years ago to no avail. I ended up using pieces found in a parts truck because I didn’t know this back then.

So I am considering painting the roof on my 65 power wagon. It’s a red truck, the wagon wheels are white and the bumpers are flat black. Questions are, do I go with black on the roof or white.

When you need a spare you need a spare. It’s easy to get down. The other tire doesn’t matter, just toss it in the bed.
