"Interesting," that word we use when we're not so sure we like it.

I try to say what I mean and use words for there intended purpose.

Interesting- arousing curiosity or interest; holding or catching the attention.

I think you would want the parts for a 65. The early 65 trucks had the non tapered axle and the 64 trucks did not.

This reminds me of MikeMc's truck, but his was way beyond this. https://i.ytimg.com/an_webp/5QROlG3oxbo/mqdefault_6s.webp?du=3000&sqp=COr-vJgG&rs=AOn4CLAF_0Xa88kF9nSOtfgSGkKwWYebyA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QROlG3oxbo MikeMc's truck: https://www.sweptline.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=37518&...

Got a photo? Not mine, but you get the idea... It will not fit an early dash, but with all the mods you plan for the truck perhaps a dash swap isn't out of the question. I don't recall the year of truck you are building, but it seemed you had at least one truck that was a 69 or later. https://www.a...

I've been looking at fitting a similar set of Stewart Warner instruments in mine, but fitting a vacuum gauge in that space is just too tight. Not to distract from the original post here, but since it was brought up, if you had a 69-71 dash/gauge cluster you could fit 8 gauges in it. I have one from...

This was on TV, as it was shown on PBS. The Iowa state fair truck and tractor pulls featured a Sweptline.
@ 38 seconds in the video.

70's motor homes with solid axles were likely M400 series & would have 5 lug Budd wheels.

I think it was on Rockford Files that I recently saw a full sized motor home with 8 lug wheels. It may not have been a Dodge.

The Ram Man Inc makes a D300 front disc brake kit.

Does it fit a dually axle?

Perhaps a 70s full size Dodge motorhome would have something that would fit.

Is this you? Were you using the name Bluefury?

I remember this truck. I went back to see your old posts to get details, but couldn't find anything except this thread. The strange thing is when I searched I found this: Some here may remember this truck. I traded it 10 years ago after owning it for 12 years. Well, I just reacquired it. Not to wors...

That wide, straight, side trim was NEVER used on a 68.

I think you mean '69. That trim is late 65-68.

Rockford Files- Season 2 Episode 20 Where's Houston? features a good drive-by of a 68 D100 right after the beginning credits end.

A '69?

I don't know what you are seeing, but that is clearly a 68.

A 30A fuse for the horn, as feeds 16AWG wire? No way, and I know the horn line is bigger than that. No relay? I’ve seen them on these trucks. Where is it? I don’t see any sign of a relay for side marker and clearance lights as shown but trace the feeds from the ammeter. Single horn trucks did not h...

Some of the parts seem reasonably priced. $250 for a tailgate that will never rust or everything for $5000. I wonder why they used a Ford bumper though.

Are you sure it is a 1970? You should also be using the last 6 digits, not 7 or 8 as you used in your examples.

It looks like you made some major life changes since you were last here.

I remembered to look in my 69-71 parts book, and although it is a bit hard to decipher the availability of some items, it appears that the Kysor roof A/C was an option on D400-600 trucks. The illustrations show the same parts that appear in your photos. I'm guessing it is a pretty rare option.

I'm still curious if that A/C unit was a factory option or a special order. When you get a chance, can you post the code to the left of A/C on the equipment ID sticker?
