well i got one setup for a test fit what do you think ? the sweptline bed is a bit wide so the tent support rails are pushed close to the inside edge but maybe i can adjust that in the future as i tension things up.. this was just a quick test run to get an idea of how it looks. it will definitely t...

i have been thinking about one of these Bestop canvas bed toppers for a while now and i like the way they look on newer trucks, but does anyone have any thoughts or experience using one on a Sweptline ??? looks to me like the largest top they make is for the 8ft bed Dodge 2500.. and it looks very cl...

i live in a 700sf apartment now and it only feels a little small,
but my shop space is probably close to the same size !

but i have often dreamed of a tiny house in the country for a place away from the city...

lucky !

i could use a new bed around here too..
mine is pretty clean on the outside but the floor is almost entirely detached at this point

Thanks for the list..

Im gathering parts for the same project so here's a couple things to add which i found in my search:


drag link = OEM Dodge part no. 2952962 / TRW part no. DS798

TRW bearing kingpin kit = K452

Also not a direct answer to your specific question, But i just ordered the 80a kit for my squareback alternator from the same store, to upgrade sometime in the future. I just had my whole alternator apart to replace the diodes and it looks very straightforward to install the kit components. Unfortun...

well the new regulator seemed to help for a few days or so.. but then today it stopped charging altogether. so i took off the alternator to get a closer look, and i could clearly see that one of the rectifier diodes was breaking off it's connection. it had probably been slowly failing for quite a lo...

the only electrical heater switch is to control the blower motor: off/low/high the temperature is controlled via mechanical push-pull cable to open or close the heater core valve there is also a cable to direct the air to defrost or under the dash at least, that's how the stock setup goes on my truc...

No, the original mechanical regulator is gone,
An old made in USA solid state was added in the past.

Today I bought a new replacement probably chinese from Napa for $20..
To be determined if it does the trick or not

my '69 D100 had been upgraded by a previous owner to the squareback (dual field) alternator and the solid state regulator.. lately it seems like it has not been charging so well at speeds under 3000rpm.. how do i test this setup to see if it's the alternator or the regulator ? (i think the belt is t...

nice truck !

but grb,
you are the only guy here with the answer to the original question:
what's it worth ? ?

My truck had the same problem. I lubed the speedo cable but it didn't help. Turned out to be the speedo head.. now it's smooth like butter There's a little oil port near where the speedo cable threads on. It might be covered by a small metal plug you need to pry out. Inside there's a little felt tha...

another steering box question:

what's the best way to grease an already assembled steering box that seems to be in good shape ?
(not exhibiting any play)

is there a specific bolt to remove and pump full of grease ?
or a good spot to add a zerk fitting ??

thanks

i am in the same boat here and looking for some answers, to be more specific: I am looking to retrofit my stock 1969 Ross/Gemmer box with the older and more common Saginaw 525D out of a '66 but I'm not sure if the steering linkage and rag joint are all compatible or not or if i can swap parts around...

.8725 vs .8730.. ?

seems pretty close.. maybe it's possible they all use the same size and the difference is just a clerical error ?

'not allowed' replaces a censored direct URL link

not sure if it's because of security or spam concerns or if it's just forum policy
but that's what's happening

my truck came on similar (yet definitely different) wheels with a dual bolt pattern and i just assumed they were a cheapish aftermarket option to fit many different trucks.. ?. the domed baby moon chrome center caps have a paper label on the back that says 'made in taiwan' i like the way they look a...

hmm 2step
hate to say you're right, but that does look like a poor quality and baggy fit...

has it settled down any since it's been installed a while ?

seems like a plain old piece of square rubber mat would lay flat at least as well as that ACC product

any pictures around of these installed ??

wait my '69 has the inside cab jack bracket as well.. do you mean this is indicative of an older 'cab stamping' ??
i have a dash with the crash pad
and my original tank holds about 15 gallons

is that the large style tank or the smaller ??
