Quite a few here have used a Fatman IFS and I don't recall hearing any complaints.

People with experience have said the ball bearings are the way to go.

On a 67 the rear break drum is not swaged to the hub, so that should be easily removable. Now whether the stud is swaged or pressed in to the axle shaft, I don't know.

Was it a left hand thread and they didn't know how to remove it?

Good thread. I've read about all the issues you've had in your build thread. All those new parts look nice, but if they don't work it really doesn't matter. Another suspension that isn't mentioned much here is the Ford Aerostar. Since you have a Ford truck, I figured you are familiar with it or shou...

The brake and clutch pedal assembly is located differently also. I'm not sure about that. :thinking John If the steering shaft is located differently from the 100/200 cab, wouldn't the pedals have to be located in a different spot too? I've never measured or looked at the difference, but I recall P...

As mentioned the factory 16 inch wheels are not common. Most cars used a 15 inch wheel, but there were some years where the Ford Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis (late 90s- mid 2000s or later) used a 16x7 inch wheel with the correct lug pattern. The Ford Mustang had 16s available as well. I do no...

Does the truck have a winch? I've seen 2 other trucks with that SERT number and both had winches. They were both 4 speed trucks, but I don't know which model. One was a 318 and the other was a 383. I'm guessing the number has something to do with a provision for a winch.

Why couldn't you go with 3.23s? The majority of sweptline era D100s had a 741 case and 3.23s were available.

It looks like you didn't take a photo of the whole decal. Is there a truck right above the words? Bigdad had those made.

Also, if you look closely at the rear window, it has a sweptline.org decal along the bottom. I was really hoping someone here would recognize the truck and share some history! It does look familiar, but there were so many people and trucks that have come and gone over the years on this forum. It mi...

Fargo trucks were sold at Plymouth dealers. There were both Dodge and Fargo in Canada.

Damn, that looks cool. I bet people give you lots of room on the road.

They are probably Hedman 79010. They even sell them at Walmart.

I don't recall anybody doing anything like this on this site before. Maybe that is why your search came up empty. The factory pieces seem to hold up pretty well considering they aren't reinforced. I've seen more issues like this in 80s vehicles.

The dash should be the same. There might be some things in different locations, but the overall dash is the same.

The 68 Adventurer badges are 1 year only parts.

The build sheet would tell you, but I'm guessing you won't be able to find it. The other option would be trying to compare to another truck. There is a SERT book, but it really doesn't have much of a description beyond what you have now.

The second data plate shows "SPEC" in the same field but then list the axel front and back as a number? Does this annotate that the owner ordered a non-standard option axle or an axle different than the standard option as it is annotated as "SPEC"?

Yes.

Can can anyone help me I recently bought a pair of hookers competition headers for my 1965 dodge D 100 I tried installing a long competition hookers but they would not sit flush because the clearance to the transmission mount and I can’t return them so what can I do to make them fit I would guess t...

I guess the sticker wasn't any more helpful than the plate.
