In the meantime, if anyone has any leads on a decent Power Wagon I could take on as my next project, let me know!

Here's a 71 W200 with a 383 and auto. It's original per the VIN plate. I've probably seen 10-15 4WDs with autos from the factory. https://www.ebay.com/itm/195670476974?hash=item2d8ede88ae:g:3O0AAOSw0QZkGQ9O&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAwPeEi3pUbh7Uc2vkb1E4G9ePPoP%2FKq6meDhgW6BZP1p06daoom%2Fx4ZZgYwLbJmhMwZfe...

What block is used to make a 505 stroker? Hedman was one of the few companies that made headers that fit 61-68 Dodge trucks, but I don't know what differences a CV swap creates or if you have any stock crossmembers.

Sweptlineparts has no contact info or parts ordering that I can find and seems to direct all inquiries to Decadeautoparts.com. That site I have no idea if Scott owns it or if it is still active.

That site belongs to Scott, the founder of this site. He hasn't been in the parts business for 10 years or so and hasn't visited here since last August.

NT3011 is a tire carrier lock and is a common SERT on these trucks.
HH1D44 should have a number where the D is located. The oil filter SERT is uncommon and I've only come across it once on a 1971 C800.

There was a factory step type bumper in the later Sweptline era years.

31 10.50 is about the next size bigger then a 235/75

There are some sizes between those, but they aren't very common sizes. Most 31 inch tires are actually smaller than 31 inches.

Bill, was that setup used in anything other than the CSS pkg?

Not that I'm aware of. I'm pretty sure I've seen a stripe delete CSS truck, so they would probably build whatever you wanted as a special order.

Here is the factory bucket seat option, from the Sweptline Owners Group, on Facebook:

That is only for 68-71. The earlier buckets and console were different.

Size wise I narrowed it down to 235/75r15 OR 265/75r15. Why did you pick those 2 sizes? You are right about the 235/75R15 being pretty close in size to what you have now. If you want to go wider, then a 255/70R15 is also similar to what you have now, but nearly an inch wider. If the wheels are only...

my mistake! the 71 is a w100 1/2t swb! sorry...too many trucks for my feeble memory1 But didnt W100 trucks from 69 to 71 come in both long and short box. 61 to 68 W100 4x4 were only available as short box trucks. :thinking :thinking He originally wrote that it was a 71 W200 SWB. It has since been e...

71 W200 sweptside SWB pickup I wasn't aware you could get a short wheel base in anything but a half-ton chassis (100 series) Was this truck a special order, a crew cab or something pieced together with parts from different trucks? I do know of a 65 D100 short bed that came from the factory with 8 l...

I don't know what you plan on ending up with, but there are a lot of variables on what you might want to use. 75-79 trucks were full time 4wd. Dana 44 front axles from these trucks used a weird bearing design that can be prone to problems, but they all had disc brakes. The transfer case was a marrie...

I've always thought it would be cool to make a Sweptline Ramcharger, so starting with something like this might be a head start. something like this?? https://www.ebay.com/itm/284979691821 Something shorter, more like the 74-93 Ramcharger. All of those South American SUVs seem to have long wheelbas...

I'm referring to the bed and cab being connected, not lack of a full frame.

There is a fellow in MN that rebuilds the single cylinder brake and clutch master cylinders. He installs a stainless steel sleeve to repair pitted bores. I found this thread, I'm not sure if it is the same fellow, but they might get you taken care of: http://www.sweptline.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t...

The movie Back to Back aka American Yakuza features a 71 D200 that is pretty beat up and missing the grille. It looks to be a 383 w/ A/C. The main character drives it throughout the movie.
