Re: New to me 1970 W200
OH YEAH! - optional steering wheel center cap, carpet sill trim, door panel bright trim and headliner with bright trim - ALL classy, custom package options!
Looks like a factory floor mat too.
Probably a 318/435?

Re: New to me 1970 W200
The inside of the cab is rather rusty.
I think it's set for years with water intrusion being allowed into the cab and rotted out the floorboards.
The 318 and it runs pretty good. It's just your standard two barrel carb affair.
It has absolutely no brakes and that issue is being addressed currently.
Quick question, is it common practice to replace the left-handed wheel studs on the driver side left side of this truck with right handed thread.

Re: New to me 1970 W200
YES on the LH studs, if you have the time.
Water commonly gets in thru the roof seam in the gutter above the windshield and cracked windshield gasket. Runs down the firewall behind the dash.

Re: New to me 1970 W200
I know a lot of people like to change the studs to the R/H type, but... I left mine the L/H type. I've been around MOPARs for all my driving life, so I'm used to them and have no desire to swap them out. Just turn the lug wrench the opposite way. Left side of truck, Left hand threads. Easy. But, I understand it when guys do change them.

Re: New to me 1970 W200
My W600 with Rockwell axles even has the LH studs on the left side of the vehicle. I have no desire to change them. The only issues they ever present on any vehicle is tire shop employees are clueless about their existence & will screw them up with those impacts.

Re: New to me 1970 W200
I agree with Jim and Bucky. I only meant that many people do, not that I advocate for it. Of all my dozen+ trucks, I only ever changed one due to several broken and damaged studs that were too hard to find the correct LH studs for replacement. (50 yrs ago pre internet and google)
Re: New to me 1970 W200

Re: New to me 1970 W200
I believe that's because they do not build parts for inventory any longer but rather "build to order".
