Wow... You did a lot of work in the last few months. :pale (The only reason I asked about any other pics, is that it looked familiar... :thinking ) Castle Rock isn't a bad little town. They have a good hardware store and lumber yard. The Auto parts stores (we have 2 believe it or not), are getting ...

RockAuto (internet) has all those parts. Very reasonably priced. I use them for parts often.

Nice rigs! Any more pics of the 68? :Thumbsup Keith :salut Here's a "before" pic of my '68. I got it June 5th. It had been sittin' in the previous owner's back yard for 12-15 years. Came back to life very quick. Now I need a new project. I see you are in Castle Rock. My step-son lives there. Thanks...

Thanks Hob, these are my latest finds. I had 2 '66 D200's and a '70 W100 SWB. Sold those and went huntin' for more. I tell my wife a man can't have too many old Dodges or guitars. I see you're in Lockport. Been there years ago. I lived in Niagara Falls while I was working on the power project in '60...

They're both a kick to drive because of all the attention they generate. No matter which one I'm driving I always get asked where I got it, what year it is, what I paid, and practically everyone says "You don't see many of those any more". I say you don't see many because there weren't that many to ...

You're in Elmira? I had the same problem with my '71. Bought one that was supposed to be the right one, was the wrong one. Sent it back. Learned of A-1 radiator at 5th and Lawrence in Eugene. The guy rebuilt my stock radiator. Put in new core and used the tanks of the old one. Absolutely perfect and...

No lift. All stock suspension.

Ok, here ya go!

Those are well-worn 315/75/16's. Gotta get new ones soon.

I installed spacers on the wheels. Still had to re-engineer (re-position) the clamps that snap onto the lugnuts.

Thought I'd share a few pics of my two latest finds. 71 from original owner, 318, auto. 71K actual mi.-- '68 from same owner since 74. 90K mi. 383, 4spd. Refurbishing consisted of mainly clean-up and new seat covers plus the usual little stuff to get 'em back on the road. Both run like new. Jer

Hola There We all start some-where. Welcome I am now a little puzzled for in 1966 there were no 383 cubed factory trucks. What is the date of mfg for your truck ( it is on an plate rivited near the catch/latch on the driver's side of the door frame ). There is also the 400 cubed V8 if you are looki...

My first post: I have a 66 D200 383 4spd. I'm planning on replacing the engine with another big block (383-440). All the engines I find are mated to an auto trans. My question is : will an engine from an auto trans car or truck bolt right up to my granny 4spd? I hear that an auto tranny engine has a...
