There was a similar engine that was carburated, the 4.2 in CJ´s. And people with CJ´s have swaped it for the 4.0 with injection, cables and everything...

Didnt know you have those rigerous inspections over there too. Good to know I´m not alone ;) Maybee I´ll be the first one with a Cherokee engine in my Swepty. I´ve heard about people putting them in old carburated CJ Jeeps with the whole injection system, cables and everything by connecting the + an...

In Sweden we have MOT inspections every other year, and now they are on my case about my D200 not being a V8 truck originally. It´s supposed to have a straight six engine, or I will have to change to discbrakes etc + an expensive re-titleing of the car. (Sweden is the last soviet-state :lol: ) But I...

Halloj, kul med fler svenskar här! :)

Seems that swedish DMV often get´s the years wrong on these old trucks. Maybe Mopar sold of old stock to Europe and titled them as the year they where exported. Mine is a 1968 but in the registry here it´s a 1970...

I bought a 6" Skyjacker-kit from Summit Racing for my 1968 D200, it said it was for W-series 1969 ->. It all fitted perfectly, the only thing was that it came with 3 round u-bolts for the front axle, while I needed 4 square one´s in the right length. Those I got made seperately here in Sweden by a b...

I´m just watching "Black Horizon" with Val Kilmer on TV. 36 min in to the movie he´s walking around and as he turns a courner there´s a reaaley cool green swepty with a white grille parked allong the curb. Looks like a camper or military build.

Cool looking vw rod! Is it a german front plate on it?

I thought the same as you, and it doesn´t look special built. Looks like an old stock, dirty engine. Seems kind of shady...

This picture is from a ´69 W300 that I´m thinking of buying. It´s supposed to be a 440 with ~400hp (!?), does it look right? And can anyone tell by the picture if it´s power steering? (The truck is located far away, so I thought I run it by you guys before travelling half across Sweden to check it o...

Cool, thanks!

The only place i´ve found the VIN is on a plate on the glovebox lid. But at the last anual MOT the inspection guy wasn´t satisfied with that and wanted to know if it was stamped somwhere else (like on the fram etc). Can it be found anywhere else on our trucks?

I bought a kit with new leafs in the front and blocks in the back from Skyjacker. It was for the ´73-> Powerwagon, but everything fit my ´68 D200 except the front u-bolts (it came with 3 round ones, and the ´68 takes 4 square ones). But the original u-bolts from the rear axle can be used, beacause t...

Now I see that the back ones allready are bigger, but put the back ones in front and buy bigger tires for the back!

Really cool! I would keep the cragars, but put a little thicker/fatter tires on them. Maybe even put really fat tires on the bak, for a little rake.

Thank´s guys! And it was really fun. The only thing he beat me at was the muddy hill, guess mine has to much weight on the front with the V8.

A couple of more pic´s:

Me and my friend Martin with his Cherokee took a spin out in the backwoods the other day. I must say that the D200 has good terrain skills even if it´s 2wd. Has the Dana 60 rear axle some sort of limited slip dif? The only thing that stopped me was a steep hill with wet grass and mud, where the truc...

Nice? Yes! Over priced? Maybee...

A guy here in sweden I know has a late 70´s Power Wagon with a 440, Dana 44´s and big wheels. He showed me a drive shaft he´d broken straight of on tarmac, and told me he always keeps one or two spares in the truck
