Re: New Seat..will it fit?

Almost all full size trucks up until some time in the 90s were a full 59" across. Smaller trucks are 52".
There is a thread on here somewhere that said all Dodge seats for Full-size trucks, Vans, A-Body cars up to 1989 used the same seat core...again 59 inches.

Mounting them is up to you :)

Re: 1971 Tachometer option?

ya, it looks like it actually replaces the entire panel, not just the standard cluster part.
I think this is really weird...to get the "tachometer option" you get an entirely different cluster, and one that sacrifices the "modern" look that Dodge was going for with the standard dash.

Re: 1971 Tachometer option?

My 71 D200 dash looks like this (not my truck :) )

Where would the factory tach go? there isn't any space in the cluster, was it an add-on guage like what you get from aut0zone?

1971 Tachometer option?

I saw a selection of 71 dealer literature that said a Tach was optional on all D-series trucks. "Heavy duty instrument cluster with tachometer" was the option in the brochure.
Anyone got a picture of what this looked like?

Re: Front fender removal

Those are great! I think it will do perfectly for my re-fab of the mounts.

Can you get a closer shot of what the rear of the fender mounts to?

Re: cross-over power steering

Considering power steering for my D200, but am confused about the arm connecting the drag link to the wheel. I noted that you can buy an arm for a Dana, but what about for a 2wd I-beam? If there ain't such an animal, I will consider same-side power steering...this just looked way better :)
