Update:
So after reading the rest of the comments ( duh) I moved the striker all the way to the interior. Door now closes with the audible "click". But you still need to pull the door handle open to allow for the star wheel to move when being engaged by the striker when closing.

hey guys. 66 d100 Sweptline. So I rebuilt my driver door hinge using the process found elsewhere in this forum. After hanging the door, it swings really smooth and I have adjusted it so it hits the star wheel ok. But now the star wheel will not turn when closing door UNLESS I hold door handle open. ...

Damm, forgot he does that too. He rebuilt my steering unit and it turned out great.
Thanks for the info.

So I am in need of a fuel sending unit for my 1966 D100. Tank is behind the seat. Would anyone have info on where to acquire one?

s66 D100 318 Sweptline Truck had been starting and running good; no issues. Then I came out to start the old girl and I got a 'click', a thud from under the hood, then nothing. I had no lights, no wipers, no hazards. checked battery and got 12.74 volts. switched ballast. Lights back and hazards work...

Very nice job!

I am looking for a brake light switch for my 66 d100 Sweptline. The part the brake pedal hit was long with 1 spade connection and a plastic 'pump' arm; but everything I am finding now as replacement is a small, squat dual plug-in with no plastic pump. Am I missing something? I found what looks like ...

Sorry, I met to say "i think the switch is for the backup lights".

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to one and all. So I recently got hold of a complete dash sifter for my 66 Sweptline. My questions is this: on the side of the sifter, when moved into reverse, it looks like a switch is engaged. I am assuming this is for the rear lights. If so, is there any speci...

Hey guys, Water pump went out on my 66 D100. I pulled the radiator to have more room AND to be sure of not damaging . Inspection has reveled the radiator to be in poor shape so I am looking at replacing. The Champion cc6169 referenced in this post; their web site says the brackets come on the grill ...

Greetings All and Happy New year! Well, made to another one. I am still kickin but my 'Mistress' is struggling. She is a 66 D100 318la. I am looking to replace the carburetor that came on the truck.

OK, problem solved. Seem's the hot wire running from the starter relay had gone bad right at a previous butt connector fix. This connector was wrapped and close to dash. no smell of burnt wire; but when pulling the wire harness just so the wire touched and we had power. Looks like sometime in the tr...

Happy Thanksgiving one and all. Hope everyone has been enjoying the holidays. Quick update on the electrical issue. I pulled the gauge panel so as to get a better view of the wiring. I looked and looked and found nothing that looked broke or brunt. Checked the connections thru the firewall and surpr...

66 D100 Sweptline 318: Last night while riding around, when I put on the headlights I heard a load 'pop' noise (like large fuse going bad) and truck hesitated for split second, then kept right on rolling. Headlights were on and so were dash. 10 minutes later as I pulled into driveway i noticed I did...

Finished up with ' My Mistress' tonight. Got the seals installed, axles back in and new brakes. Will bleed them tomorrow and then take a break before moving onto the next issue. Just wanted to say thanks for the info the other night. I new better, but I was so tired that my brain when into doubt mod...

well, made a lot of progress before the rains came ( doing all this in back part of wood line ). Got trans seal replaces, pinion seal replaced, pumpkin gasket replace, wheel cylinders replaced. long day. But now for the bone head question...I am getting too old. Which way does the seal spring face? ...

66 D100 with 318 / 8 3/4 rear. After a nice run in the country last weekend, I have found that my pinion seal AND differential gasket are leaking quite badly. I am planning on pulling the differential this weekend, and would appreciate any advice, tips, what-to-look-out-for knowledge before I start ...

I did not think you could still get the Scarebird conversation kit. Where are you getting it from?
