My brother is out going through salvage yards and sent me this pic.......i think it has seen better days

Looks like there is a pretty nice '68 sport Fury behind it.

Sweet! Is that a 500?

all this talk about cabs and hooks Jim's link had prices of mint condition auctions and one said 9,600$ on ebay wow just wild. Yeah... I wonder why you can't get that much money for a "real" Sweptline! Jim lol, good point!!!! Maybe because you can't put a full size sweppy on a shelf in the den...

I doubt it... I have one with the red hook too....

looks like the ones with the gray hook are early additions and are rarer ...

I played the paint off of this one...many years ago.

Those are great!

great stuff! and yea that tractor is awesome...someone spent a shirt-load of time on that machine!

I was at a yard a few weeks ago and they had a bunch of pre 93 D60 fronts and he only wanted $275 each...are they so expensive up there because there is a high demand?

oh, the adjustment nut can take the slack out but the worm gear is usually worn in the middle so if you make that good it can bind while the wheels are turned and it will not straighten out...at least I believe that is the case, but I have never been able to open one.

Hey guys what does the adjustment nut on the steering box do? where can I find a rebuild kit for the steering box? thanks LB Check with Bud Thorp [aka PowerWagon54]. He rebuilds them. Maybe he'd have a parts kit for you? John isn't that a pretty tough job unless you know the tricks and have the cor...

No one will touch split rims in WA State. LB Not true. Many farm rigs still use split rims and they get fixed in WA. I had a tire repaired and a rotation done on my wife's car @ Americas tire in Vancouver a few days ago and asked them about it. They said yeah we do them when they come in but we don...

My '65 W200 has the stock 7.50 x 16's splits with it (in the bed). In the past I have had no issue dealing with the split rims as long as you are careful setting them up and inflate them in some secure way so if they pop you don't loose a hand or something. It is a simple system you can do them your...

Ah, no wonder they look so good. Seems like if you try to get tall tire for the 16 - 8 lung rims the tires are fat too. And again, wow, that truck looks great! I think super swamper makes a 34 inch tall very skinny offroad tire for 16 inch rims. most think they are too skinny but I prefer that here...

Beautiful machine, great work!

Just corious, what size are the tires?

some stuff I saw on a recent trip.

Here is a link to some axle identification info. If you look around you can find lots of info online with some simple google queries: http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/Dana44.htm I didn't see any mention of lug nut count, so just in case: 6 = 100 and 8 = 200 If the truck is from the fores...

Thanx those are both good ideas. With the cotter pin, how would you get inside the handle trim to set it?

Has anyone done, seen or heard of a good fix for the stripped knurled interior handle posts other than straight replacement?
