Hey Doug, super to hear from you. Thanks for utilizing your diesel power to hook up to my flat bar and tow my newly aquired D300 up the Lewiston / Clarkston grade. My 360 727 surely appreciated it. I think that my picking up the tab at Wendys hamburger was insufficient. I had a blowout on the left front on the D300 while going downhill into Dayton Wa. "downhill"! I was towing th

Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

The post from Terry and Mark brought me closer to a likely scenario. The consideration of taller tires only. Even though I feel the 2nd 3rd and 4th ratio is perfect for my likings I reckon wheels and tires is best affordable. One reason for my thinking so was due to an earlier ownership. The W200 crewcab with 19.5s that I sold a few years back. I recall still being able to start out

Yes it did. It also had many other features which I will list here. I t had a 440 in it with less than 10,000 miles since major overhaul. The 440's heads were replaced with heads from a 361 for more squence to gain H.P. It also had a 3 speed brownie together with a 2 speed rear axle.
