318 Poly motor. If I pull and reinstall the heads myself, how much should a shop charge to do a valve job to both heads?

Have some lifters tapping and the exhaust is bluer than the truck.

Adjusted the A727, installed new filter and was getting frustrated at the gasket. Found a simple hack to make it quick and easy. The new gasket is rubber and slightly deformed from being in the bad, we’ve all been there. After cleaning the pan of all fluid residue I used blue masking tape to tape th...

Have a 64 D200 318 Poly w/A727. Is this carb correct or is it a replacement? Asking as getting ready to do a rebuild kit.

If the OP is still alive and needs it I do happen to have the studs he needs.

Better late than never.

And he thought no one would ever come thru

Kind of sad. Would be nice to know how popular or rare a specific vehicle was.

Well the left front wheel locked up. Solid lock up when the brakes were applied. Got truck up on a rack and noted wheel turned a little forward then became very hard to turn, but moved freely in reverse. Things that make you go hmmm? Is the big shoe [the one with the most pad] on trailing side of t...

I’m a car nut period. It could be a 59 studebacher hawk and I’d go drooling nuts. My second love is numbers. For that, I love to research how common or rare a specific vehicle is based on production numbers. Does anyone know the number of D100’s built bs D200’s? Camper special vs custom vs custom ca...

I’d love an answer to this too. My 64 needs its stainless back on its bed too.

I read the instructions for this. Damn, this might get my neighbors running into my garage, probably call 911 and just wait for the light show. Now I gotta give it a try, at least once and I’ll see if I can’t video the process. Haven’t found a good video on this yet. Off to eBay to find a puller and...

If that's the tapered rear axle (big nut on the end) do yourself a huge favor and find a later 8 3/4 to swap in. They're plentiful in the wrecking yards.
bishko.com for the manual

I’m scared to ask why your saying do myself a favor?

wheel cylinder corroded all to hell and front piston frozen in the bore. hub bent - how the hell did that happen???? Wheel cylinder has not a drop of corrosion on it. I swear. Can’t imagine how the hub got bent but she rotated like the spindle is bent and we all know the hub, not the spindle rotate...

She’s coming along, as things get fixed she’s speaking up about other items. Actually becoming a very vocal old girl. 1964 D200 with 318 poly and 727. Well the left front wheel locked up. Solid lock up when the brakes were applied. Got truck up on a rack and noted wheel turned a little forward then ...

My bumpers ran away. Have never been heard from. I need new bumpers. As to front bumpers, chrome or paint? Rear bumpers come in different types, wrap-around, diamond plate, paint (similar to the front bumper), and chrome. [/quote] Like to find chrome front and tears that match. Looking for a clean ...

Found almost 1/4 inch of play in front steering. Tie rods and ball joints good. Appears to be a steering box. Will need to get one and install. Your truck has ball joints? It should have king pins. :thinking Used to have king pins, but they got demoted. You know how it goes with age. Pins start to ...

I’m here in AZ and get a lot of my parts from a local yard that has over a dozen sweptlines. I’ve seen /6 w/727 trannies still in them. Let me know if you’d like me to check with them on cost, shipping and such. They regularly ship parts all over the world.

Well, making headway on my 64 D200. Has the A318 with the A727 trans. Issues: Stalls a lot with max speed of 45 mph. Determined was running on 4 cylinders. Resolved issue with a simple tune-up. Plugs, wire, cap, rotor, condenser, points, pvc and air filter. Hmmmm Dirty fuel was resolved by cleaning ...

Posted in wrong area. Sorry.

Found the clips for the stainless. 1 item down. Talked to Bud, he got me on the right track with the steering. Gets new bushings this week for the front springs and then see how it steers. About to order the battery hold down, steering wheel and maybe that rebuilt gearbox depending on how it steers ...

Have to ask. How is she at cookin' and cleaning'? Does she come with the beer retrieval option? Does this one have the 4 am hit Walmart for another 12 pack or the I don't know why don't ya get off your but and check the fridge?
