Factory offered sound deadening insulation panels that attached to the firewall above the carpet up to the heater and wiring and also on the kneewalls.

does anyone make new firewall pads?

I am wanting rear that are not, rancho, monroe matic or coil over

looks great!

looking forward to it. i use postimage.org

Does anyone have the correct part numbers for monroe gas shocks for 69 to 71,W200? parts sites are almost always wrong on old vehicle shocks and brake hoses

The beds are 48" wide, inside. Add wall profile to that for outside dimension. Std axle backing plates are 47.5" between. Bed sits on frame and if it drops between backing plates when loaded it might need wider axle for both SRW and DRW. Friend with both setups says all his DRW trucks are wider and...

Can you clarify that?

Single rear wheel applications, dual rear wheel applications, both or?

On the single rear wheel with 9 foot box the rear axle is the same one used on flatbed/cab and chassis 1 tons.
ON the Dually trucks with 9 foot box the rear axle is much wider

I have both an early 65 tranny here and a late 65 in my truck. Both are 435’s and neither have the brake on them.

If they are from 4x4s they wont have a brake. its moved to the tcase in that situation

Can the 1&3/8" 10 spline input shaft be swapped with a 1" 10 spline input? If so,... I figure the front input ball bearing ID may be different and would have to be changed too, as long as the OD seat in the case was the same? I called Novak to ask them this, Tech was a bit busy Friday. it should fi...

that set up would be incorrect for 60. should be 3/4 ton running gear in all Dodge half ton4x4s through 68. if you put the 5 lug 4x4 stuff under it it will decrease the value of the truck.

the 1960 W100 I am pretty sure was switched over to 8 lug 44 front and either Chrysler 8 3/4 or Spicer 60 rear . the 57 to 60 frames and spring set up is different than 61 to 71. it actually rides better because they are reverse shackle like 72 to 93 trucks. The frame should work but you might have ...

have you checked the dwell with a dwell meter? then check timing.

easy to make an insulator for between firewall and heater out of innertube. My 61 D300 was order with no heater. then someone added on at some point.

I would go with NOS on ebay. with so many parts being made in china now you never know what you'll get from parts suppliers.

I bet it shows that heater in a Canadian factory shop manual. might find one on ebay Canada

just need really long blocks on gas and brake ;/)

hard to beat the cummins set up. I have a 361 powered D300 that drives like a diesel but does NOT get the same mileage! 10 if Im lucky. I am going to put an AFB on it and an O2 sensor tuning set up. I know another guy who has done it on his 361 trucks and can squeeze 15 mpg out of them

good find and nice towing rig. what engine in that?

here is the part number for the correct clutch hose and the hose for the MC on the 4x4s and the D300 and up trucks

Dorman No. H79366

I think will need a male1/4 inv fl coupler to make it work

finding good used drums not too tough. two already posted here. I think its less work to just keep them stock. that rear diff will never die either.
