It seems as though the A, B & E body MoPar supply is pretty much tapped out. The next "logical" cars are the C body luxury yachts. Also, as many of us are noticing, the Sweptlines are starting to fall on people's radar screen. I have a long time [43yr] friend who's a lifetime MoPar fanatic. He does restorations , he's drag raced for 25 years, owns a few B &

Hi Jeff, Good to see your post. Have you been using your '66 RV? Still have the nice light blue short wide box D100? Hope all is well with you out there. John

Gordo, Here's the procedure, as explained by "Beemrmax" in that Best Of thread. To put a squareback back in, all you need to do is run a short wire from the Ground termninal to the nearest alternator thru-bolt, and voila... you're done. Wish the idiot who had put it in originally knew that... he murdered the harness trying to figure it out ;-( John

I've been driving my Sweptlines quite a bit. Still chugging away on a D200 to W200 conversion on my '61. Have a '68 W100 donor for the front springs. Have the large knuckle Dana 44 for the front. Have a nice replacement '61 cab. Pretty much have everything.... now need a week's vacation to dive into it. I keep telling myself this is the year that I put my '6

If the truck's engine is original to it, you should have solid lifters in it. If the truck sat for a long time, your accelerator pump might be shriveled up. You can buy one from your local NAPA for a couple bucks. You might also need to set the valve lash on the engine and fine tune the dwell and timing too. John

I'm in the process of: 1)Converting my '61 D200 to a W200. I'll keep the 4.10 rear Dana 60 but will install '68 backing plates. I have a 4.09 large knuckle front Dana 44 ready to install. I'm getting some suspension parts from a '68 W100 donor. I've also get a clean '61 cab to replace the current cab. 2)Still working on a '68 D100 short Utiline.

Russ, Good to hear you made the reunion and were able to meet up with Russ Ashley as well. I have been to your 1/50 site and looked at a lot of the pics there. Hearing about some of your time in the Army in person during our NW visit was real interesting too! Hope you had a good time at this year's reunion and thank you for your service. John

This was a popular truck. The Utiline box continued to be used up through the early '80s. As far as rarity.... they weren't rare "back in the day". As for how many are left today and how rare the truck is today?.... hard to tell. I'm a Utiline fan myself. I have a '65 W200 Utiline. I turned a '68 W200 Utiline into a W200 wide box due to poor sheet metal on

Looks like a clean machine! Judging by those remaining mirror mounts, your truck probably had some sort of later aftermarket mirrors and brackets. Mirror assembly Part # 2518-105 is the commonly used "West Coast Jr." style. If you're looking to pull a bulky trailer, perhaps the 16 x 7 size mirrors would be more your speed. John
