A100's are sweet and do bring pretty good money these days. But without pics.................who knows?

Got the old girl fired up last night. I put a touch of gas down the carb (I hate doing that) and cranked it with the choke off. Fired right, sputtered for a bit and then ran like a top.

Well, I got everything back together and now the truck won't start. Thinking I must have gotten some oil down the carb and fouled the plugs, I went ahead and changed the plugs (easy on a /6), still no start. Any ideas?

I've never seen a reproduction. Mine is mostly gone also. The owners manual was no help at all. All it says is rinse in kersosene. After mine dried. I rinsed it again in Seafoam, rinsed with Marvel Mystery Oil, and then rinsed again with regular motor oil. The element is clean, but when I put it bac...

Thanks. What kind of cleaning fluid do you use? I just rinsed mine very throughly with water and lots of dishwashing liquid, and then lots more water, like 20 minutes worth. It was amazing what all came out. Should I follow that with a dunking in kerosene? I want to keep the truck original, but this...

Is there any way to take the oil bath air cleaner apart to give the element a good cleaning or is it permanently housed in the top metal piece? I don't want to break it trying to pull it apart if it isn't made to come apart.
Thanks.

Seriously? I'm going to find a sock? If it's not there can I use a pair of my wifes pantyhose?

I actually found some kit numbers over on a slant six site. They recommend the WIX 51076 Element and also the NAPAGold 1076 (made by Wix). The canister shouldn't be a headache. I'm going to try to stay with it.

My 1964 D100 with a /6 has the oil canister type of filter. I did a search here and found info on 318 canisters, but not much on slant sixes. Does anyone have the part number I need to replace the filter material inside the canister? Parts houses around here do a look up and hand me a screw on filte...

Original bed in my 64. I'm planning on spraying in some deck cleaner and then just putting a coat of Thompsons on it.

Well, I went to the trouble to sign up to a Desoto website to see if the folks over there knew anything about my wheel covers. The answer is........1954 Plymouth Savoy wheel covers.

Thanks, my dad goes by WD also.

Yeah, you're in trouble!!

Tried to close in on the center of the covers. My son has some 2004 OE Ranger 16" rims that have the same lug pattern as my 64. if the back spacing is OK, I'll probably switch to those and sell the 15" OE rims and wheel covers.

Does anyone know if 1964 D100s' came with full wheel covers as an option. My Utiline came with a full set of covers like the one in the picture. Full wheel covers on a truck? Really?

1964 D100
I found good link here but, he used a drum puller. No have.

Anyone got a trick to getting those rascals off?

Found it on CL. It's a local 2 owner (now 3 owner truck). I have the original title, dealership bill of sale ($2,343.71), warranty/service booklet and owners manual. It has a little over 101,000 documented miles on it. The 2nd owner bought the truck in 1999 and had a restoration done. The restoratio...
