Re: New to me 1970 W200

I still have the axle. When I pulled the cover the spider gears hit the drain pan before the oil. The previous owner drove it on just the front axle after he took out the rear bearing of the transfer case. Must be nobody told him to check fluids under the truck too! Keep it around for the rest of t...

I don't think it's factory to the truck. The original owner may have added it.

Re: Original engine color

Generally speaking, the 383 would have been Chrysler Industrial Red through 1967-1968 and then blue through 1969-1971. John Does the blue fade over time? This truck I just acquired has a 69 383 that appears to have come out of a truck and the only evidence of paint on it looks to me like turquoise....
