For some reason, they love to slip and let the hood fly up under speed...then bounce off your roof/windshield area.

I have (4) spare '68 hoods, ALL have (4) dents in them from bouncing off the roof!

The 1969 & '70-71 latches do work, from my observations/experience.

Those were cosmetic changes, John. The electrical firewall connectors went from round to rectangular, also. Cosmetic in terms of the hood matching the cowl/firewall.

HOLLEY makes a 400 cfm 4V carb. Check out E-Bay for one. 500 cfm is too much carb.

Two Thumbs UP for BUTCH.

Ain't NOTHING wrong with ANY NPG435, no matter what case construction may be. NPG 445 is even better, IMHO.

Generally speaking, ALL MOPARS of our vintage run ~8-80 Ohms.

Bent rim.

Dented driveshaft (ANY size dent).

Thru 1973, the Medium and Heavy Duty trucks were hydraulic clutch...no problem there.

Cab, as John said, is a problem. 100 & 200 are the same. 300 is all by itself. 400 & up are the same, thru 1973 with the exception of the wiring harness. 1973 is the last year of the Sweptline as we know it.

The medium trucks are 2-wheel and use 600 & 700 gear ratios. I can get specific if you would like me to.

Did you confirm the casting date?

I have not done it. but others have. They fit!

Most '60's tanks are 16 gal. with sender mid-tank. 1970-71 are 25 gal.(Sender at tank end) except Cali trucks...they needed a gal. for emissions equipment...24 gal. cap. There are some 18 gal. AND 15 gal. tanks out there, also.

I believe those screws take a #4 Phillips driver. They are also available in Allen Head. Almost anything works better than Phillips when trying to remove them. I am sure that is why Torx took over in the auto industry.

Kasey, I PM'd you a few days ago...I have your manifolds.

ALL mechanical connectors MUST be soldered after assembly. The electrical signal travels thru the outside of the wires' strands. I suppose you staked them with a knife edge crimper? FLAT jawed Linesman's pliers are the correct tool...greater surface area with a flat crimp. We all learn from others. ...

Yep, looks like a '59 to me!

Snatch a CARTER carb. #2681 for it. They work better than Strombergs. That # is correct for 1957-60. Slant 6's take different CARTERS, depending on automatic or stick shift transmission.

10 Check top radiator hose...does it go from cold to hot? If not...replace thermostat. 2) If T-stat is working...still running hot...remove plow blade/pump assy...if it now runs colder...install a fan shroud if it is missing. Also, cover the gap between the upper core support to top of radiator with...

If it is a small crossmember...it is Not for a T-case. It will be as wide as the T-case, if not a tad wider.

225/75/R16 would be a correct interchange. Easier to steer, also!

1961 "R" series was a transition year from the older bodied truck to our style. Many parts in the "R" series have different part numbers from the "S" & later series. Technically, each year has a letter series, 1963=T, 1964=V, 1965=A, 1966=B, 1967=C, etc. The Parts Books calls them all "S" series fro...
