This valve was removed from my 78 D150. I took it apart cleaned and polished the bores with a 1/2" round brass brush and some 3M scouring pad. Bought the three kits to replace the rubber parts and put it back together with dot 3 synthetic brake fluid. I tested the switch and verified it is...

My 78 SE truck came with this style wood grain. (I swapped out the 8 track radio with a 90's CD radio) I'm not sure if they installed the volt/vac gauges in 75 with the burl wood design. May have but I don't recall seeing one.

I read your first sentence just fine. That was why I responded the way I did. You apparently have an understanding issue. You should have paid a little more attention in school or asked better questions. I can't help you! We are done here.

I understand the reasoning for the dual bowls in the master cylinder. I also understand plunger principle and what it does. I didn't have to go to school for any of that. What started this issue is the fact that you stated the proportioning valve is not a proportioning valve. Apparently you were...

Keep on dreaming.

I pulled my 26' enclosed trailer with a 70 Challenger inside from Wisconsin to Ohio and back a couple times with my 440 powered 78 D150 Club cab truck with zero issues. The key to the whole towing thing is to use an equalizer hitch that distributes the weight throughout. It makes all the...

I think you can buy a rebuild kit for your proportioning valve yet. What makes you think they are not a proportioning valve. That is exactly what they are. Front discs need almost twice the PSI as the rear drums do. That valve regulates the pressure allowed to the rear drums. If yours is...

Sounds about right.........With that in mind, 75 must be the only metal panel that will work from 75-80 since 74 are a little different on the left side.

The 75-76 trucks got the metal gauge panel. Dodge went cheap charlie when they started with the plastic panels. (I believe 77-80) IMO, the metal ones are best and they interchange with the plastic ones perfectly. Here are a couple pics of one I have. It is complete except for the Speedo which...

This is a new never installed Denso Alternator PN: 56030914AB for most all Ram, Dakota,and Vans with 3.9, 5.2, 5.9 and 8.0 engines for many years in the late 90's and early 2000's. The kit is complete with Belt and idler pulley that are correct for all of the V8 and V10 engines in that era...

Still looking or did you find one. I have a metal one from a 75. Missing the speedo but otherwise complete. More desirable than the plastic 77-80 panels. PM me if interested.

I have a nice set of wood grained lower side moldings removed from a 76 Long box Club Cab truck that was scrapped out many years ago. There are a scuff or two in some of the moldings but are about as nice as what is out there in used condition. It consists of both front marker light bezels, Both...

Welcome to the site. If your truck has the BD8 in the Vin, you have a very rare truck. Only 74 440 powered D150's were built in 78. No idea how many are left. Probably less than 20. I have seen about 6 of them. One conventional cab short box like yours, 2 or 3 conventional cab long box trucks...

I believe only the SE trucks got the factory headliner. I had two 78 SE club cabs and both had headliners.
