69 D100 > W100

[moparbay]

Here are some pictures of my 69 D100 turned 4 wheel drive. Engine is a 65 413 out of a new yorker, front end/rear end, 4spd, np 208d transfer case are all out of a 1985 w150. This was the second drive train swap as the first was from a 78 w200 and after the swap the front/rear end, transmission (4spd), transfer case (NP203) were all junk and i couldn't hardly drive the truck. The seats and center console are out of 91 d250. enjoy some pics.

Looking good! Are those 33s or 35s?

33s on 15x8 wheels, the only rubbing I have is on the drag link. The only lift is what the '85 front springs provided if any. I am looking to raise it up another 3-4 inches but I do not want to use rear blocks and I cannot find any rear springs that have the center pin in the right location and I don't want to spend the money on custom springs.

In case you didn't know, '68 and earlier W100s & W200s
used factory rear lift blocks.

hmm... I sort of had my heart set on 33s and was pretty sure they wouldn't rub... maybe it has something to do with the offset of the wheels?

Yeah i know but blocks stink all you gain is height not any suspension performance. I might just have to relocate the spring perches so I can use 72-93 rear springs. Something to think about

Yep, I got it off a '70 d100 in a local savage yard.

rough country makes a kit says 70 and newer, I have it on my 69 and it seems to fit ok. you will need to extened your driveshaft though.

I didnt think it was tough but it was really labor intensive and cost a lot more than i figured. its all the little stuff that really brings the total cost up like drive shafts and brake lines and other stuff i didnt think about.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure to save up a bit of cash before I dive into the conversion. I'm glad to hear that its not too terribly complicated.

Thanks Much
