OK, I just was given a 225 slant six bolted to a NP420(out of a 63 D100). I was told the trans prob needed a rebuild due to grinding gears. But I am going to assume the former driver didn't know about the non synchronized gears. the stuff is still sitting in my pickup bed right now, and I am thinkin...

it looks like he is going to the dark side. He is putting an axle out of a late 50's ford under it. Sorry to bother everyone. Thanks for the help though

I have a friend looking for a front straight axle for his 1/2 ton swepty, 63 step side orginally with a slant 6, but he is tossing that for a 413 big block. Anything around the Washington state area would help a ton.


Thanks

I am a new one and am hooked as well. I picked up my 68 Power Wagon, and I can say that the "newness" has worn off. I realized I need to replace the cab, the bed, and the fenders, and front diff. I finally realized it will be regulated to a parts car. But it revived my old love of the Power Wagons, ...

OK, back on the home computer. Here is a before and after of my tires and wheels.

OK, I finally have had a little time to focus on the Power Wagon, but soon I will be focused on the Polara for a while. The Humvee tires fit pretty well on my truck, stock height so far. I only have one issue to this point. Left turns, the outside of the right tire rubs on the fender. The only reaso...

Well, at least half of your restoration will be done by the time you get home.

OK, I am mainly posting this to vent, but I'm also posting this as a warning. People do some weird stuff to vehicles. It all starts off innocently enough, with a 1968 W200 Power Wagon. I acquired this puppy back in December and started looking for info, that’s when I came across this site. Im glad y...

I found out quickly about the starter. Had to replace it last week, and first I went to my shelf of extra big block starters. that first bolt went in fine, then I learned the issue. A quick trip to Carquest and $90 later I now have a new starter

I just joined the local MoPar club. It seems to be pretty small and low key, but should be plenty fun. http://allaroundmopars.com/ Hopefully I should see you soon, I belong to Mopars Unlimited, Tacoma Chapter and we do a few cruises a year with your club. Im also up at Bremerton Raceway alot during...

I think that steering wheel is what actually sold me over on my recent purchace. It feels great and looks classic

WOW, a line lock that was intalled at the factory! These trucks are amazing. I do know that on my 68, the T-Case does have neutrual. So I am betting after hearing from you guys thats how it operates. Hopefully soon I will get to work on this truck, still in the mode of preparing the GMC for sale.

So I am correct to understand that with a W200 I will need to lift the truck to fit the H1 bias tires?

Already learning... W200, got it. The drive home today I was wondering why I bought this rig, about halfways home I was giddy. This truck with the 4 speed is a blast to drive! Tommorow I plan on removing the air horns, truck box, and C.B radio from my GMC and placing them on the Power Wagon. I also ...

Hello all, I have enough time to do one post to introduce myself. I will take deliverey of a 1968 Dodge D200 Power Wagon tomorrow afternoon. I have always been a true mopar fan, and now its finally time for me to replace my 76 GMC 3/4 ton with something with personality. I scouered this forum yester...
