Not sure if this link will work... Take a look at the right front wheel on this D200. It appears to be a one piece 16" with the correct hub rim for the stock "male" 3/4 ton pre '69 dog dish caps. I can't tell whether it is a one piece tube style wheel, as it looks like the valve stem is coming from a large hole which would indicate an inner tube. I don't

There's a member named RoxyFlash that has gone through one or two of these set ups and rebuilt them. If he doesn't see this thread, you might catch up with him over at the www.sweptline.org site. The control valve might be able to be fixed.... depending on current availability of parts. These factory power assisted steering set ups weren't anything to write home about.... Manua

Yout Slant 6 has 127hp. Will you be pulling a trailer or carrying heavy loads with it? If so, 3.55s might suit you better. If its just for cruising..... then the 3.23s will be fine. I have 2.94s in my '65 D100 with an A318 and NP435 4spd and it does just fine. John

The '65 dash lever shift was a two cable set up. I'm not sure if this went away in mid-'65 or not though. I "think" it did. John

Quote66Joe I am using the 66 D-100 frame and the 77 has a automatic. The transfer case is a np-205 as well. Thanks for the welcome! Joe, If you intend on using the 727 Loadflite from your '77, you'll have to cut out the manual tranny bell housing cross member. The cut will need to be made in a way as NOT to remove any of the structure that aids in supporting the leaf spring perches.

A 360 would fit, but you'd need to address the balancing of the flywheel, as the 360 is not balanced the same as the 318. John

Mark, Try hitting up a local craft store. I'd imagine you could find some type of transparent cellophane that would do the trick. You'll probably have to travel by snowmobile though.... or wait until June for the snow pack to melt. John

QuotePaul Cook in Kempner, TX Back in the seventies, we had a Winnebago Class A motor home. (Dodge M300) In conversations with mechanics, I was told that some front end alignments required a shop that worked on 18 wheelers since the solid front axle had to be bent. I haven't had this same conversation for many years and I don't know what the current procedure is. Even back then I

The body panels are the same. The frames are also the same. The springs, as you pointed out, are heavier and do have a larger diameter bushing bolt.... therefore, the perch holes are slightly larger. The D200 has "200" fender emblems... John

Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

Alan, You would need to put together a two piece drive line with a carrier bearing for a 128" wheelbase Sweptline. You can use the same bell housing and could actually knock off the shift levers/rod from the 3/tree column. You'd want a ten spline input shaft model NP435 if you're still talking a '65 D100. John
