yes, you are correct....I was only talking the bed length.

It's been so long ago now I'm not 100% sure, but I want to say they removed just under 4' to make it a short wheelbase truck.

It was a conversation piece for sure....but it wasn't very practical. It turned like an aircraft carrier.

Hey, thanks so much for the pics. The truck had to put on hold a few times as the oil patch crashed up here in Canada. I did manage to find a sweet short sweptline box for it in the same color. There are 2004 ford leather seats on the inside. It's been a long slow go. I'm picking away at it slowly a...

Did anybody happen to save the original pics of this truck when it had the holiday trailer on the back. My computer crashed and I lost them.....

Hey there, I have a quick question. I'm wondering if the rear view mirror in the newer Dodge Rams are a stand alone unit? Can I just glue it to an sweptline windshield and have the compass, temp (I realize there will be a sensor for this) as well as the auto dim features? Or is the compass run from ...

Thanks for all of the feedback guys. That is what keeps me going. The CTD fit actually pretty good so far. I cut the firwall because I wanted to use the intercooler. It wouldn't fit even with electric fans. The frame is wide enough to leave the CTD factory A/C in it's original location. Cool hey (so...

Doug,
'm quite a ways from the Idaho border. Go to Googlemaps and type in Edmonton. I would guess it to be 10-12 hours. If you are interested please let me know, mabe we can work something out.

Doug, No plans for the original parts. It didn't have a poly, just LA 318 ran pretty good, Granny 4 speed, original T/C (don't know model) and Dana 70's with 4:88s (brakes were just rebuilt so I was told). If some one needs them let me know. They can have them cheap!!!!! They are in ALberta Canada b...

More Photos....enjoy

Here are the latest pics of the 1971 Fargo Crew Cab. The CTD is sitting in the frame, motor mounts to come. The 2007 Dodge one ton front diff is almost complete. Those are 2006 Power Wagon wheels just leaned up against the hubs. Let me know what you think, honestly.

Found some interesting old parts trucks. One is a 1958 Fargo Short box Fleetside ( were they called Sweptlines back then too??) The red one is for me, it's going on the crewcab. If anyone is interested let me know. They are located in Alberta Canada. I can contact seller if so desired.

Those trucks are awesome!!!!! Michelin XL rock. What is the actual name of the paint color? Is it a factory color?
Thanks,
Bryan

Here are some new pics of the truck with the "hillbilly Motorhome" removed and the frame shortened to 146". I hope you like it. I've found a step side bed off of a 1950 Fargo. I have to see if it will fit. It's getting ready to receive the 1997 Cummins, NP4500 and married T/C, and 2007 Dodge front a...

Hello, Has anybody seen or heard of adding power steering to a W300 with a steering box mounted infront of the axle. Apperently alot of the newer rigs are done this way. Just wondering if anyone has done or seen this. If so which box works the best and from what donors work the best. Thanks, Foddie.

Hello, This may seem like a silly request , but I'm wondering if anyone has pictures of a W300 with a sweptline box on it. I want to know how the body lines match up and/or if the box is wide enough (or are they the same width). Starting a crew cab cummins conversion and need to get a plan for the b...

Hello, I'm desperately seeking a disc brake conversion for front and rear Dana 70's from a 1970 W300 (fronts for sure, I guess the rear can wait). Ray from http://www.Uglytruckling.com won't have any for 4 months. If someone had a kit laying around that they didn't require for a while, I would pay y...

Hello Everyone, Has anyone installed aftermarket A/C in a W300. If so what brand and model fits best (under the dash). This is a 12V Cummins conversion so I'm looking for advice on how to mount the Compressor on the motor. I heard there may not be enough room to keep it in it's stock location. So al...
