Once the media blasting starts, you might be surprised at what "opens up" There's a guy out in your area that is re-doing his '68 D200 and I think he's sunk about $1200+ into paint & materials and that is basically cost with no markup..... just sayin..... Stuff adds up really fast when you want a decent body/paint job. Save your coin... You'll need it when

Norm, I wholeheartedly agree. We stopped by Paul's Power Wagon Museum this past Wednesday and were given the grand tour. It was impressive. Paul, Thanks again for showing Colleen & I your collection of vehicles and "supporting equipment". I also was also able to meet up with Scott Blaylock and Jeff Thomas.

I just installed another one of the homemade 7808/7805 limiters in my '65 D100 last night. I took the truck for a spin and both the fuel and temperature gauges were swinging wildly. I popped in the limiter and everything works perfectly now. The regulators run about $1.80 each. John

QuoteSnapper MoparNorm, I hear you have valve covers? Norm sells the DTA headers for the A318 . Click on the DTA icon at the upper right of this page and read up. I have a set on one of my Polys. They're nice. A used Carter BBD can be had pretty easily. A decent Stromberg WW2 can as well. They're both good carbs. It is my opinion that the BBDs are a little less finicky.....
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

If the throttle body isn't leaking like a sieve on that carb sitting on your LA 318, throw a jiffy kit into it and install it on the Poly. The Stromberg WW2 was standard equipment on the Poly but a Carter BBD will work just fine. I run one on the A318 Poly in my '61 D200 and have had years of trouble-free driving. That LA360 will require a balanced hydraulic clutch flywheel
