I have a 1968 W-200 slant six and 4:88s and she'll run 60 mph all day long. The secret is what speakers your runnin with your stereo.

Gotta love the 4.88's I have them in my 68 W-200 but she does get a little raspy on the highway.

5/16" cage nut for fender available from northland fasteners. I looked up the part # for someone on here before. It's nice to have the cage nut in there because it slides back and forth for alignment. Northland Fasteners Part # NO3798 $6.79 for a bag of 5

John, I can respect your decision to go with a Ford. They are the only US automaker thats not on the dole, in fact their stock has been doing well.The only thing I bet you'll miss is that unmistakable smell you get in the cab of an old Sweptline,I think it acts as a drug. Hope you have a mild winter...

I didn't realize how common a problem this was. Graphited lock fluid worked like a charm on my 68 W-200.

I would take a close look at the upper bronze cone bearings on the steering knuckles. The lowers are tapered roller bearings. Jack up one side and shake the wheel around it is common for those bronze bearings to get sloppy from lack of oil. The gear oil in the closed knuckles only gets up there with...

Thanks, Seabee I am also 6'2"" and I think the extra height might be an improvement,I going junkyard hopping this weekend. Joe

Seabee, are you able to move that newer Ram seat forward and back on the tracks, I was looking at that swap for my truck. Thanks, Joe

If the oil filter is smaller than a 1lb can of coffee I don't want it.

Matt, I am not a Nissan Tech but I am wondering if you could have a vacumn leak somewhere.

I really did'nt mean that remark about chrome bumpers. I am just jealous I never had a truck that had them.

Chrome bumpers are for trucks that haul ping pong balls,goose down pillows and inflatable swimming pool toys!

It doesn't get much better than that. Nice job. I think the bumpers are cryin to be white, then in my opinion it would be perfect.

I have never seen one like that, but it really has a look about it that makes me WANT ONE! A fine specimen any lawn would be proud to display.

I had one of those engines in a 1979 Mercedes 300D and suprisingly they are very simple to work on and the part prices were'nt that crazy.Mine had close to 300,000 mi when I took it off the road for rot in the front sub-frame and it was still running like a top.I spent very little on it in three yea...

Get stainnless steel allen heads at a good hardware store, they will always be easier to get out.Well worth the four bucks you'll spend.

The ad says "the body work is done" that really is good news,it's been taken as far as Chevakotaup can be taken.
