I have read a few posts on the axle flip and it definitely seems to be a lot less costly than a dropped axle. Can you explain further on why the flip is a bad idea?

Thanks, BK

I never insinuated anything, especially that someone is a liar. If someone is a liar, I will call it straight out, no insinuation needed. I made a statement that if someone claims their truck is low miles, they need to provide the documentation to back it up (prove it). In 12 yrs on these forums Iv...

Thanks for insinuating that I'm a liar though, makes me feel great! Don't sweat it. Terry was just bringing up a valid point.... in his own way. :lol: John :Thumbsup That's cool. There's always one in every crowd that has to make themselves feel better by pointing out what they perceive to be someo...

What makes u guys think the odometers have not turned over? EVERY new swepty owner shows up here and claims their truck has just XX,XXX "original" miles when they get it. Yet they always beaters that have not been running for years. Who would park a truck and leave it unused if it was that new? Unl...

Just ordered mine. Can't wait!

Holy crap, dude! Looks like I need to move to the northwest, can't find deals like that in the midwest! Hmmmm.............I am outa work right now, maybe a great time to relocate?? Nice buy, man!

Nice looking trucks my friend! That '67 looks pretty nice to end up being a donor truck.

WOW! I gotta say I'm a little jealous. I never have any luck here in the midwest finding deals lke that. Come to think of it, CL in this area never has much of anything for Sweptys or parts. Nice find, brother!

There is no guarantee your truck ever came with a rear bumper. Most bumpers you'll see were added later by a dealer or purchased aftermarket. The light-duty factory Dodge bumper isn't that common. Well that makes sense now seeing as how I couldn't find evidence of brackets ever being bolted on to t...

I'm in search of an original bumper and brackets for my '66. It's the one thing that didn't come with the truck and the owner had no idea what he did with it. Anyone have one that they'd be willing to sell or an idea where I might find one?

Nothing wrong with it except for a few minor dings. I just prefer the raised middle look of the later sweptys. Just a personal preference I guess. I had always wondered if they'd interchange.

Dude, you're killing me! Have a heart man, this is the scene outside of my garage right now.

Very nice! If anyone finds a source please let me know.

Drive it down here and trade hoods, I think the one on my 69 is kind of visually boring. I tell ya what it's real tempting right now to go somewhere warmer and no white crap on the ground! We just got 4" to 5" of snow last night and this morning after rain all day yesterday turning to sleet before ...

Yeah I'd be interested but I'd still like to see a pic of the orange Sweptline Speed shop shirt that oklamopar talked about. Sounds like an interesting shirt.

Cool. Thanks!

Maps? We don't need no steeking maps!

Would any of you fine folks be able to tell me if a hood from a '69 or '70 sweptline would fit my '66? Just curious and I guess I like the look better.

Thank you. Do you have a pic and where did you buy it?

Welcome aboard! I'm very new to the group also, but I can tell you there are some great folks on this board and tons of useful info! I bought my '66 with just short of 62k miles on her. truck speedo 2.jpg Fortunately for me there don't seem to be a lot of vintage dodge truck enthusiasts in my area. ...
