[1966D100]

Okay, I'm looking for a rear bumper that works with the D-100, either a stock relacement or like a dodge ram or some other aftermarket step bumper that works.

Also, anybody know if I could order a fiberglass toneu cover for the D-100, or would it have to be custom made?

And, how big (more like how wide) tires can I go on the rear axle without having to tub the bed or cut the axles. I think 10" might be good without rubing the bed but I don't know.

I ran 31x12.50-16.5 on the back of my 200, they will rub with a heavy load, I just rolled the inner lip on the wheel to eliminate that, couldnt tell from the outside.

I run 10.5x31 on my 66 rear axle, I think there are a few that run even
wider with the right back space.

Beds on these trucks are a little odd, there longer than the
Ford or Chev beds (6" longer is I recall), so nothing off the
shelf that I know of( but ha! you can close the tail gate with
a load of plywood and have room to spare, unlike the other brands).
My folks custom order the camper shell on my 62 because no one made
one that size other than Gemtop (and that was in 68!!).

Find a good use used bumper, or if you don't want stock (or a early after
market dealer added bumper), any bumper
listed for the 72 up to the early 80s should be able to fit the fame rails,
same for a hitch reciver (I have a Drawtite on my 66 that was listed
for a 74).
