Thank you guys I appreciate the input! I actually found a guy on marketplace with several parts trucks and he had a few things I needed including the hard plastic version of the vent tube.

That's a good question; both look like they would do the trick. My truck didn't have one when I bought it, and I'm in the process of redoing the AC and heating system on my truck. Most of what I've seen looking through engine bay photos online looks like the second picture.

I'm looking for a replacement vent tube for my 73 W100 with AC. It's looking like they aren't made anymore or remanufactured, so I was wondering if a piece of heater hose and a few hose clamps would work. Anybody ever ran into this issue before? Thanks guys!

I appreciate it sir! However, my W100 is 5.5x5 so I'm out of luck there as well.

I’m about to order a new set of wheels and tires for my ‘73 Power Wagon. It sits on a 2.5 inch lift, and I can’t really find a whole lot of info out there on size and fitment. I’m currently deciding on a set of wagon wheels, or maybe going with some dish mags. I’ll upload a picture of a truck I...

Its a regular chrome bumper. Turns out the lamp mount off of a Desoto is the exact fit I was looking for, installed it and wired it in today and we are good to go!

So I've just installed a rear sport bumper on my Powerwagon, it looks great! Now I'm trying to track down the correct style Lamp/Mount required for my new bumper. Does anyone have any insight? Thanks!

1 month update, it takes awhile for the gauge to get up to running temperature, but I'm not having any more issues. Thanks for the help guys!

Update- It was the factory voltage limiter!! Although I don't have the gauge reinstalled just yet, bench testing it with one of the solid-state regulators shown above seems to have solved the issue. Now once the sending unit gets heated up, the gauge follows suit. While I was waiting on parts, I...

Well, this is becoming quite the debacle. This is not a complicated circuit: 12v source to regulator- 5v off the regulator to temp gauge- 5v at temp gauge straight to temp sending unit- temp sending unit grounded back to the battery- regulator also gets grounded at the battery. I have my temp...

Just checking for confirmation, will this work for my application being a 3 amp power output?

I already shelled out the cash to buy an original one off of eBay last night, but I'll take your advice as well as the IVRs you mentioned are readily available and relatively inexpensive. It looks like it would be simple to adapt one for this application, I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the info!

Turns out it's harder to find the right reducing bushing in my area I guess.. I believe the temp sender I bought is a 1/8-27 NPT thread count, and I need a bushing that would adapt to a 5/8 NPT for that coolant access on the manifold, parts have been ordered, now we wait to see if they're right...

Sometimes the simplest solution are the best! I'll hit up the parts store tomorrow!

Got off work today and was planning on putting the sending unit in and wiring it up. I realized that the stock style sending unit I bought is a smaller diameter than the port in the intake, I'll attach some photos for reference. I assume either I bought the wrong stock style unit or there is...
