thank you everyone for your help i decided to purchase the part manual i should have it by Wednesday.

You should also get the FSM (Factory Service Manual). It will be exceedingly more useful than the parts book.

Is it a simple column as in a 4 speed, a column shifted 3 speed, or a column shifted auto? They're all different.... He is Just a guy learning from others. It took me a long time learning from the forum to have the knowledge I have. Nobody was born knowing these things. Exactly! That's why it was a...

Tilt was never available in the sweptline era. None of my 60's mopar cars had it either. First ever saw it in the 70's, maybe the 73 Polara I had, don't remember.
I have a 66 D100 with a Flaming River tilt column installed. It does look similar to the factory column.

So what are my options for replacement stuff? because we cant find anything. https://www.jgrelining.com/ this will be great when we redo the pads, but the wheel cylinders are shot, all the hardware rusted and fell apart. Need that stuff first In your first post you said you got new cylinders from N...

Welding is only way to do it correctly, permanently and perfectly.
Better to do it right than to do it twice.
Also, buy the best and only cry once.

I have the original 4 speed np435 that came factory in these trucks. At least that is what I think it is. Some 383 trucks have the NP 445, which is a superb trans! It will say on the vin plate what it came with. What was the first year the 445 was available? I don't know, but would guess maybe 69 o...

What trans do you have now?

The white wire feeds power to both left and right circuits for the brake lights when the switch is in the center position. That is the position with solid black lines. When in turn position, one half of the dotted lines indicate the signal circuit, depending on whether left or right, and one half of...

Will work fine with hose coupled section. Early sweptline tanks were done that way. Just be sure to get fuel compatible hose.

.... If i were to take the motor arm off and adjust 90° it would mean that the the whole wiper range would change and make the wipers work improperly when they are turned on.....

No, they would work fine. If you can do that, then problem solved.

Looks like an orange bulb behind a clear lens.

Does it correct the position by switching the arms at the connection to the motor?
Usually this situation occurs when the motor has been disassembled and incorrectly put back together.

Back in the day a member, Trey (wideblock66 ?)....

Trey's handle is Wideblock - no "66". He was an original member and forum moderator, left the forum in a dispute over "sheep boy".

I've pulled a lot of that trim off and every one was rusted bigly underneath.

.... I would think you could use front springs from a w series to lift the front of yours.....

And then you'll have to deal with ugly bump steer.

Anyone know what size and head type screws were used on the drip rail trim? Also, any suggestions for the 3 seam clips? Thx!-W Originally they were zinc plated phillips head sheet metal screws, probably 6 GA. Replacing with stainless looks nice if you don't care about the galvanic reaction from the...

The driveshaft wouldn't be at a steeper angle. The u joint between the axle and driveshaft would be at a steeper angle, due to the axle being tipped upward. Yes, but the longer the drive shaft the less that angle is. A divorced t-case that is further from the axle would have a lower UJ angle, pinio...

The actual VIN number is indecipherable in the pic. Based on the instrument cluster bezel, it is definitely a 70 or 71. Per the data plate, it is a 1970. The Serial Number is E33BES105373 and decipherable to me. Tnx Bill, but you left the 0 out between the E and S. Funny, cuz that's the digit that ...

You will never find front drums for that axle.

But drums can be relined inside with a superior material for about $500ea.

Only when they don't structurally fail, which I've experienced on a W300 once and seen both rotted away on another W300.
