There are tons of articles all over the internet about building up Mopar small blocks with the exception of the 273. I have found builds, just cant find any with someone building up stock heads on a stroked block. thanks for the input, definitely reassures my building stock heads. as far as port/po...

It is just a truck motor, one of the reasons I am not building a race motor. I am trying to find out if the stock heads, with a little work, would be good enough to not completely choke the motor. The 72cc can be closed up with milling, the dog ear filled, and polishing is super easy. I have been se...

So, I am going to be building a 408 stroker for my D-200. I will be gathering parts slowly and i am not sure what i want to do for heads. I am not building it for racing, just a fun upgrade. I am shooting for 9.5:1 comp with a mild cam. now my question is, can i use the stock heads? the 360 has 2.02...

I got ahold of the guy who owned this before me and he SWEARS its fire red or the equivalent and it was just 40 years in texas sun that faded it. I think its vitamin C poly. You be the judge :) i was originally thinking vitamin c, but i have my heart set on the Persian orange in the one of the prev...

I used persian orange (Allas-Chalmers) for my 66 (dont have pictures atm) and in overcast its bright red and in the sun its orange. I looked up some pictures, could only find tractors. But that color looks and sounds perfect. I would really like to see your truck! Haha Here is a older pic and it's ...

that's what i was looking for, i couldn't find pictures of one. i plan on completely removing the existing floor. the only thing i don't like is that the bed floor wont be streamlined with the tailgate anymore. you'd have to build new, lower profile cross members.

Also, to reiterate the original post, has anyone here done the conversion to wood bed?

This is a route I plan on going with my swepty, it will be cheaper and I think it will look nice/unique. The reason is my bed is completely rotted out. If/when I finish I will post pics on my build thread.

I am really digging the persian orange, I think that is the way i'll go. A lot of the orange I see has too much red.

Do you know what orange the top and bottom are?

If this is the wrong place for this, delete it. I am getting ready for some paneling and prepping for paint. I really want and orange body with black top. Does anyone have an orange truck? Could you post pics. I have been googling all day. all I find are professional pictures and I would like to see...

Spring loaded. While pushing down take a large flat blade screwdriver on opposite side,barely catch the edge gently rock it should pop off.

awesome thanks. ill try it tomorrow.

mine doesn't have a bolt/nut. the arm is smooth over the crank splines. I guess i'll keep messing with it.

I've done a search on every forum I could find and google. I cant find good advice on how to remove the arm from the splines. I know about the tab, I think mine is just really stuck. does anyone here know a good way to remove stuck wiper arms without ruining them. mine are really nice and I would li...

Got it, what other parts did you need? Booster, master cyl, lines...

I have like 35' left over from my '85 dodge so I wouldn't have to buy anymore.

I am completely rebuilding/replacing the entire brake system. While I am doing this I want to add a booster. What have you guys done in your trucks? What booster/master cylinder did you use? Is there any other modifications needed in conjunction with adding power? I am keeping the drum brakes and up...

Thanks guys!

Is this the right steering wheel for a 1969 d200? I have searched and seen all kinds in the truck but not one style in all of them.
