Looking for clutch/plate/bearing for my 1964 W200. NAPA is hopeless, will call VPW tomorrow. Anybody know a better idea on this? There is a listing on O'Reilly, but it is a 10", and mine is 11".

3000 psi is enough for most things, 4000 psi can easily damage things - will cut your toe off with a fan tip! The higher pressure units are good for paint removal and concrete prep (will take the finish off of concrete in used carelessly), but for cvleaning things the 3000 psi units work very well. H

I've seen a couple here in Tucson recently, posted on the "other" section of the for sale forum. Always happy to go look at old rusty trucks for paisani.

From the FF page, a Craigslist ad for a 1969 W200 in Phoenix.

Just saw the ad, I know noooooooothing!

I gotta say that driving the 1964 W-200 is my favorite. I like the 1956 FF, and the 1961 W-500 is very cool too, but on balance the W-200 just fits like a good pickup should - that's the best way I can put it. Just something about thoser sweptlines...

Got a Millermatic 210 and a Spectrum 625 plasma cutter about 3-4 years ago. I spent about half of today working on the W500 with them, and they pretty much kick chicken. I bought higher power gear because I am involved in a shooting club, and we need to make targets from heavy plate steel - the 110V...

Fred,

I keep sending you pics of the ones up here in Tucson. Come on up and I'll show you where they are hiding!

Hey, get that Mack semi rig of yours in shape! I suppose the tags on that would be about impossible though...

Hey Fred, it sounds like what you need is a bigger truck...

... I wasn't so smart, but now that I think about it what are the chances of TWO forum members bumping into each other & having a conversation at a "local" library in Houston, Texas? (The 4th largest city I think in the US, couple million folks). Highly unlikely in my opinion. :thinking Bucky I don...

Saw you out on I-10 and was checking out your trailered D-100. You exited before I coulod get my camera phone figured out. What's the story on it?

And start practicing for the ASVAB test now. Your score on that test is really important in the military jobs (MOS) that will be available to you. Better score = better jobs. Buy the $35 practice book and work on it for an hour every day, makes a big difference. Those standards are there for a reaso...

On the main drag, south side of the street in a chainlinked lot. The truck is right up front - can't miss it, I didn't. Not sure if that lot has anything to do with the one the COE is parked on, but they are close to one another. It's a D-600, in case I failed to mention it. The two lots are full of...

Did you ever put that 8-track player I traded you on one of your trucks - now that's "old skool".

H

The COE is on an auto sales yard, apparently for sale. I didn't stop in to ask. The name and telephone number might be legible on the building behind in the full resolution pic.

Had the pleasure of a quick visit to the State Pen up at Buckeye yesterday - just visiting, you understand. Stopped off at Gila Bend for lunch, when a couple of somethings caught my eye... http://www.jacobsbklaw.com/powerwagon/coe.jpg http://www.jacobsbklaw.com/powerwagon/d600-1.jpg http://www.jacob...

It's funny, I just saw a blue 1969 D-200 Camper Special here in Tucson on Saturday at the tire store. Looked real nice, apparently the owner is an employee of some sort. these things are not uncommon here in Tucson, where rust is not a big factor. There is a nice looking W-200 step-side for sale in ...

Well, I thought Jim's truck looked pretty at least...

I plan to be there with the W500, bales of hay, and waving kids.

H

as far as going thru the truck. when i get one i kinda have a ritual. 1. clean the grounds and all the contacts between light housings and such to insure grounds are right. 2. flush the brake system and fill with new fluid. you dont know how old it is. 3. same with the clutch system if its hydrolic...
