Anyone know where I can find a front bumper?

Well I thought I’d update this a bit. I’ve been busy with other projects, life, family etc etc. The 318 is infact an LA 318. I performed the usual tune up. Plugs, wires, coil, fuel pump, fuel lines, filter etc. She’s a runner. Runs pretty good actually. I started grinding all the floors down. A litt...

Compression test is on the list. Hoping for the best. I have parts to build most of a 383… brace yourself… small block Chevy. But I’d rather keep this thing all mopar so hopefully she’s halfway healthy. Long term I’d like to put a 4bt in it. I’m in Elk Grove and take the chevelle to Folsom cars and...

Welcome! I have a '61 D100 myself. If you ever get a line on new grilles, let me know! You're in for a good time. They're a fun truck on which to work, and there are plenty of knowledgeable folks who are happy to share their experience. I have no line on anything. I’ve been scorching the earth tryi...

Glad to hear of another Nor-Cal sweptliner. I'd run a compression test on the 318 to get a baseline and see if it has any larger issues before going to far. The NP420 would be correct for a 61 and the NP201 would be factory as well. The NP201 has a 10 bolt PTO while the NP205 (1969+) had a smaller ...

The stock poly 318 in 61 will be miserable if you ever need to pull it. It has an early crank that extends further into the bell and the flywheel is attached with thru bolts with a nut between the flywheel and block. They are hell to get apart, 1 bolt at a time, rotating the engine as you go. As I ...

That motor home 440 is a deep rabbit hole to fall into!
I’m getting closer with mine ,but it’s only money the bigger problem is convincing yourself to spend it.

Oh yeah! I know the rabbit hole well. But I’ve yet to see the bottom . Ha!

Hey everyone. Names Ryan. I just picked up a 61 W200. I’m new to Mopars but I’ve had a chevelle for years so I’m not completely clueless when it comes to classics. I picked up the truck for cheap off of a guy who’s had it since 1990 and according to him it had one owner before that. It currently has...
