Seems to be other questions answered with more than 'look at your truck' or 'check a FSM' or 'check your vin'. Let me try asking a different question... What are spring rates for 61-67 W100 and W200? Check the parts manual. :dance :joker All kidding aside.... an official Dodge Truck parts manual wo...

If the NP445 turns out to be too elusive to find..... you might look for a NP435 with the 4.56 first gear as opposed to the 6.68 granny gear. The 6.68 version NP435s seem to be more numerous.... but there might be a 4.56 version out there in a boneyard nearby? :thinking I'm not sure what the nomencl...

Looks great!

I used this outfit......

I put 7.50 x 16 Z treads on my '68 W200.

Welcome to the site.
Nice vintage photo there. Your '62 short wheelbase is considered
a W100 Half Ton. The half ton Ws used the 8 lug axles through 1968.
I'm not sure of the maximum sizing for photos...... maybe somebody
else will chime in on that.

I am in a number of Facebook groups and I'm far from being a puppy. Sold quite a few parts from my collection in those groups.

One subtle difference I've noticed.......
You come back here. Many others don't.

Facebook Groups pull people away from the Forums such as this one. Seen that with other hobby's. I have commented in the Facebook Sweptline Groups on a number of occasions regarding a specific problem with the accompanying Sweptline.org Link. I never bothered with facebook. Some of the young Sweptl...

Is the frame for a 67 the same as a 70 d200 camper specials

Re: 100/200 Series Frames

The frames changed in 1969.
This is when the hydraulic clutch was replaced
by the mechanical clutch which meant significant
changes in the transmission frame cross member.

Thanks John. If you know of anyone who wants that wheel let me know. I figure if 4 wheels are already newer Ford steelies, may as well make it 5. My next thing to bumble my way through is a brake light/turn signal mystery, but I will start a thread in the proper area for that! :lol: That sounds lik...

Split "ring" wheels aren't dangerous. That wheel your spare is mounted on is the pre-'69 style and is probably worth something to someone. A "widow maker" is a reference to a different type of 2 piece wheel design. When a good tire shop mounts a new tire/tube on a split ring wheel, they're really no...

That is a really nice looking D100 for sure, Russ.
Hope all is well with you.

Can't help you with the gear reduction question but the 4x4 trucks use the longer cable I believe. I asked the same question a few weeks ago and was told my 4x2 uses the shorter cable and the 4x4's the longer.

That is correct.

John

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...

There was at least one addendum after 1969. Terry is familiar with this, I believe?

Have you ever replaced the accelerator pump in the carb?
