What engine are you running in your W200? John It's a D200 :lol: with chevy running gear. 305 chevy small block from an '81 GMC van w/ holley 2300 carb, edelbrock performer intake, after burner headers, true dual 2.5"s with raptor turbos,(the rest is from a '84 blazer) 700R4 trans, NP 208, or 205(?...

Here it is with das bumper installed

Also: for the front drive shaft and also the work on the rear; find a drive-line shop in your area and ask if they carry or can get SAE parts for american rigs? We sell metric stuff for your stuff here, so they may sell our stuff there? Probably have the rear shaft shortened, then drive the rig in f...

Shorten the shaft. It can be done for not much money and is much simpler than trying to move the engine, plus you want your engine as far aft as possable for weight distribution.

No offence, but for about the same $ you could've bought NEW wheels from summit racing and might not be having the trouble you are having in your other thread. I need 16.5's , not 16's or 15's.........I looked at that. Not cheaper either new at the tire stores here or shipped from Summit. From Summ...

I had a hell of a time posting these pictures, but I got creative and here they are. :banghead :thinking SWEET! I want to go with 44 inch HAWGs just like that. He used the same fender flares I want. Is that yours? Do you know if he is running manual steering. Thank you. That picture is AWSOME!

Not mine, but thought maybe someone would be looking for one. A little expensive for my taste.

menefreghista762... I would appreciate that info on the tires. And let me know if you find 2-3 more wagon wheels I could use them. Big J.....I'll keep my good eye out for some extra wheels for ya. The ones I found had various offset of (2)4.5, (1)4.25, (1)4.75 and (1) at 5". I use the 5" as a spare...

I bought it already. The magazine has tons of readers rides in it this month, really great. Off Road had a ton of readers rides also, I bought both. Yeah, that trucks pretty sweet!

I seem to recall some one posting that you can use later model lift springs on a swept line, but that they will not be as high as stated. What is the deal with that? How much less lift do you get? Does any one make like a 12" lift spring for dodges?

MuddyOldMan; I'm already running 36X12.5-16.5s on 16.5X9.75 wheels, ie; wider than those. I think 16.5s have like 5" of back space though, but if I get 15s they have like 3". Cage man: those look good. If those are only 10s then you must have less back space, because mine are 9.75 wide and are reall...

I am wanting to get 12 or 14" wide wheels for my D200 4X4 conversion. I want something that sticks way out, like that I can climb up on to get in the bed. I've already got 16.5 x 9.75s and they look so skinny, they don't even come close to sticking out. Has anybody got some wild wide tire pics?

My speedometer has bounced around a lot before. Now I just got my truck running after sitting for 7 years and it is so bad I can't read it, I'm guessing it just needs lube? What kind of lube should I use? I have this liquid graphite "lock" lube, I seem to recall hearing to use that, but don't know.

I don't have a tree this year, just a festivus pole.

Great looking truck! What type of front bumper does it have? John :Thumbsup What you see now is just 3/8" X 4X4 angle, but it has a chrome bumper that gos over that and a big push bumper/grill guard over that. It is removed at the moment because I had a tow bar mounted for moving it to another stat...

Nice truck, How did you lift it? Fabbed shackle brackets in rear for 2"+5" super lift blocks+2" skyjacker add a leaves. FRONT: some kind of custom springs +2"shackles. (actually 4" longer to get 2" lift) has 4" pro comp steering arm and bullet proof steering drag link. Skyjacker SS braided 8" longe...

Yuri, How long is your pitman arm? I have an extra, stock W200 arm. Check out Borgeson .and Flameing River ,online for steering u- joints.Your stock shaft is 3/4'' you can get 3/4'' weld on or 3/4'' DD to fit it. Andy, Its leaf. I haven't measured it, but it looks just like the third photo down tit...

I wish I could find a shorter pitman for a stop-gap measure for the moment. Anyways, my theme with this truck has been "use what ya've got", I have 3 power steering units; '81 GMC van (box/pump/column), '84 chevy blazer 4X4 (box/pump/column) and a ford/lincoln (box/pump only) from a '79 lincoln mark...

It has obvious amount of positive caster. Pinion, I'm not sure. Remember, this axle came from a chevy, so it was designed for a different spring angle probably. Hummers are bias (the ones I have, anyways) I have a magnetic angle gauge, I just need to find it. I was reading about caster and it said p...
