I am not active here much, as I have had to put a halt to my truck hobby and focus on other things, like making a living in tough times. However, I really enjoyed visiting this site and learned a lot in the past years. Thanks for all your efforts here, and best of luck with your health issures in the future, Take care, Jeff

Patrick, Are you in OKC, or near there? If so, I need to talk to you about the firewood business. Listed my email below. Jeff jthomasmet@verizon.net

Trailer tires are made specifically to resist scuffing. Regular automobile/truck tires do not last near as long as "trailer" tires, when used on trailers. I have run small "fleets" of trailers in my business over the years. I have used only Carlisle trailer tires. These are made for trailers and are available in most common sizes. Carlisle is an American company, but I am no

In a word, "no". You are on your own. Ron Reichart has pieces that patterns can be made from. The back cab corner pieces are a booger to make, and the cab roof pieces are not much easier. I had a really good auto upholstry shop make mine, from patterns, and they did a pretty good job. Even they had problems getting the right folds/curves in those thick fiberboard pieces. I am sure Ron

Your experience is exactly the reason my last two pickups have been GMC's, and not Dodges. When you tell a salesman you are ready to buy TODAY, and ready to write a check TODAY, you think they would jump right up, and try to find the vehicle you ask for, or at least one that is close to what you asked for.

Contact Scott over at the other Sweptline forum. He is parting out quite a few Sweptlines, and probably has some to sell.

Norm, Sorry to hear about that. A good friend of mine had that happen to him about 5 years ago. After a couple of surgerys, he now has close to 90% of his vision back. They first told him he would only get 75% of it back. So, here is hoping for the best for you. Jeff

Mine was a 4x4 , W200 Power giant. I am not sure what the proper term for the rod is. The one we rebent, was about 18" - 24" long and had a slight bend in it from the factory. I do not have the truck any longer, or I would just go look at it. Let me know your email address and I will try to find some photos I had of the Power steering installation, and send them to you.

Go with Vintage Air. They have reproduced the old Mark IV, underdash A/C unit. They can set you up with a complete package of parts and hardware specifically for your truck. The underdash unit requires no dash modification and puts out lots of ice cold air. If you have a 4 spd. trans, you might have to heat and rebend your gearshift lever to clear the unit. I had to do that on my 69, W200. Give

Well, you might be missing out on getting some bidders, as you have the truck listed wrong. It is not a D200. If it is a powerwagon, then it is a W200. If someone is searching for a W200, they will not see your listing at all. Jeff
