Has anyone ever here done this... so far, the only disc brake conversion I've seen has been for the front axle of the D100/200 series...

I'm really thinking about doing this... but curious if anyone else has already gone through this process.

Sounds like a plan!

Thank you!

What do you think?

Not to start a paint it or leave it discussion... but leave it. That thing looks completely badass! I have a '64 D100 without motor or tranny... I would love to do something like this after I finish my W200... please post anything that you think will help those of us who follow the same path... what...

Well, sometimes I do things without thinking them all the way through... When I purchased my '64 W200 (did not run) and got it home... I started removing some old junk that I figured that I didn't need, and that I would replace anyway.... old hoses mostly. One of these items was a canister type of d...

I'll have to check... I'm guessing you are talking about the D100... As the W200 has stock split rims.

Nice finds. If you still have the huge rear bumper, and want a smaller one, I have a Ranger bumper and brackets that basically bolt right in. I'm a couple hours north of you, outside Memphis by about 20 miles. Feel free to haul one or both trucks up for a "mega thrash", I'm getting ready to finally...

Thank you very much pwadventurer! My work schedule has it where it will be a few weeks before I can get back to this, but once I do i'll post my results.

Thank you for your feedback!

Vasts amounts of knowledge... no responses... *sigh*

I recently purchased a Universal Wiring Harness for EZ-Wiring. The old wiring harness was hacked, spliced, worn, and parts were just plain missing. I took a lot of photos, and made sure to try and understand the way the old wiring harness was connected prior to pulling it all out, my issue is that a...

It has been a while... New coil, distributor cap, plugs, plug wires, alternator regulator, starter relay, ground cable, battery cables, and wiring harness (by ez-wiring) that I'm working on now. I documented all of the connections, and I have a manual.... I'm wiring up the new universal harness now....

I have a 64 Ute that I need to put a bed in... my idea involves a little more work, and i am not exactly sure how I will do it... but... I plan on purchasing inexpensive wood to make the bed, but prior to installing it I want to cover it with some old sheet metal. I have an old pile of tins that use...

Well, it would seem that I need to just bite the bullet and buy a wiring harness. I traced the wiring from the battery to the instrument panel using a volt meter... still had power... BUT nearly all of the wires are broke, frayed, spliced, or missing?!?! :banghead I may only need the cab portion of ...

Before replacing crap make sure theirs power to coil. The points are working. Basic troubleshooting . To start an engine is a series of events. Figure out each step and make sure the step you are checking is responding as it should. :thinking No doubt... i'll start with making sure the coil is prov...

The good news... I put on a new starter relay... and I can bridge the posts to get the motor to turn over. The not so good news... I pulled one off the plug wires and connected a separate spark plug to it... when I attempt to start it the plug doesn't spark. Ok, maybe I should just replace the coil,...

I have a 1964 W200 with original 318 4 speed. It has what appears to be some new parts on it, distributor, coil, and starter. I have put a new battery on it and it is dead. The starter relay was a bit rusty, so I picked up a NOS replacement and swapped it out. Still, turn the key and I got nothing. ...

A new battery.... new relay switch (NOS)... turn the key and nothing. It has a fairly new looking starter, so I guess I'll start replacing wiring. Thoughts?

Would you keep the oil bath air cleaner, or go with an air filter? Curious.
