Thanks for the input! I was thinking that was going to be the case. I can't wait to drive this thing! WAWII - When/if I get the in-dash speedo working, the bolt on one is yours! I have a spedo out of a 68 W200 Sweptline if it's the same as your 69 (and someone can tell me how to test it properly) w...

I think I have my work cut out for me... Very dirty engine compartment on my 69 D100. Forgive the rookie question, but I don't want to cause any damage.

Any other suggestions are welcome and appreciated!

I am getting more excited about this project already.

Just gettin' Started...


I hope to find a picture or two of Grandpa with the truck somewhere... but for now... this will have to do..

It has a 383 in it, it has the original air conditioner in it. It has not been registered since 1992. The last time we kno...
