when I click on thumbnails it says not working.??

what i am trying ot find is data plate info off a truck with stock 383. one that shows the HP

you can convert the trans to have the ebrake on the back. I bet most the parts off the 3 speed set up will work. some one here might have the rest. much better than wheel ebrake

and parts for the 218 and 230 are dirt cheap! The engine was used world wide for many decades (and still is in some countries running various machines). in production from about 1934 into the 70s. a set of pistons is under 100 bucks. everything else off the shelf in parts stores. i just paid over 40...

I have built many many 23 inch flathead mopars. They are a great engine. they already have hardened valve seats. slant 6 never did. I usually shave .075 off the head, put in modern cam grind and clean up all the ports, larger jet in carb or 2 barrel. all that results in a very woken up engine. they ...

is it a 218 or a 230?

good plan. have you tried over inflating the tires for a few days? run them up to 45 drive alot and see if that rounds them out

try to get tires warmed up good before balancing. bias are out of round in the mornings! 20 miles ought to warm they up good. i actually have bias on my d300 right now with the gas magnums. makes it much more stable on the highway. I dont mind the bit stiffer ride over the monroematics

Monroe number should come up in parts stores or rock auto. if your running radial tires get the monroe gas magnum (they might not call the magnum anymore). The monroe matic shocks are like stock and designed for vehicles with bias ply tires. With radial tires and gas magnums its like a modern truck ...

love those. They pop up every 5 years or so. wish they sold them here. I bet they would have a following They are cool, and I'd like to have one... but everyone would think that it was an old Chevy Suburban. but they would be able to tell it was a dodge because it wouldn't be burning oil like a che...

looks great!

love those. They pop up every 5 years or so. wish they sold them here. I bet they would have a following

the W300 shares the same size set up as the D400 and larger trucks. the D300 set up looks similar in pictures but is much smaller. D300 same as D100/200. i believe Garrison Power steering still supports the original systems and might even sell a system that will work on the truck. the systems were m...

Stan's Headers for the D/W trucks with the poly. These ones are ceramic coated. The clear the crossmember nicely. https://i.imgur.com/MpRceiil.jpg https://i.imgur.com/syGwFeRl.jpg I got a pair from Stan's about a month before he shut down, super high quality headers.. I also payed $800, ya get what...

love that truck and all the work. I too am running and industrial 361 (now 371 at .060 over). also going to do flat tops and bigger cam. I might shave the heads as well. when I compared the head to the other bb heads the ports are actually very good, the exh manifolds are really a cast iron header t...

what are the specs on those tires?

always a life changer when our parents go. I saw that truck before somewhere. i bet it is a rocket ship! is it a 440? 383?

thanks alot. I still cant find the diagrams on that site. are 69 to 71 the same?

its called a V band clamp.

or maybe consider building the slant 6 for more power? with p[rice of fuel might help costs. higher compression, big cam and 4 barrel

i have found them before but cant seem to now. is there a link to them somewhere? thx
