Thanks!
If you are in need, I have many sets available.

if your shackles are on the front of the springs , the hot set-up is to move them to the rear ...it helps on impact if you do any rock crawling
That would be a very complex mod on a swept!

For pics, they simply have to be reduced in size to be under 256 KB. There are many ways to do that. A common way is using the "paint" app.

Re: What do you do with your sweptline today?

Is posting the problem, or resizing it to get it under the limit?
Also, the link I posted above has details on how to percisely identify the axle.

Re: What do you do with your sweptline today?

I just pulled the cover off the Dana 60 rear I got, inside I found a Detroit locker with 4:10 gears. Does anyone have experience with these? Are you sure its that and not a factory unit? If its factory, they call it "traction control", its limited slip and is detailed in the FSM. Had one in a 70 W2...

Re: 66 sweptline w200 clutch fork ball

There is a retainer clip on the clutch fork that holds it to the pivot ball. Sounds like that is where the problem is.

Re: Gear oil for '69 D300 Dana rear

That would be a Dana 70, not 60 in a D300. 90W gear oil, unless its a limited slip.

Re: Poly Intake Manifold

The dual quads are less money, probably because getting carbs that fit is a big hassle.

Re: Poly Intake Manifold

The original cast manifolds are extremely scarce and more so on trucks. Search the old car world too.
I've only ever seen one, it was over 20 yrs ago on a D100 in a wrecking yard. Got it, then sold it a few yrs later.

Re: New to me 1970 W200

I agree with Jim and Bucky. I only meant that many people do, not that I advocate for it. Of all my dozen+ trucks, I only ever changed one due to several broken and damaged studs that were too hard to find the correct LH studs for replacement. (50 yrs ago pre internet and google)

YES on the LH studs, if you have the time.
Water commonly gets in thru the roof seam in the gutter above the windshield and cracked windshield gasket. Runs down the firewall behind the dash.

Re: New to me 1970 W200

OH YEAH! - optional steering wheel center cap, carpet sill trim, door panel bright trim and headliner with bright trim - ALL classy, custom package options!
Looks like a factory floor mat too.
Probably a 318/435?

Re: Calling all Central Oregon members.

Being a PW, the truck is a W200, not a D. W means 4wd, D means 2wd.
Your truck is way above average. Not many PW's have the CUSTOM badge, and upper and lower body trim (hard to find). Maybe you have some extra options inside too?

No, stayed on the dash. No "locking columns" on a swept ever.

Not the same - lefts and rights.
2 versions: 61-66 and 67-71.

Re: How to transport a Utiline bed?

Takes HOURS to disassemble an old bed with rust welded fasteners! Not a simple task out in the field.
