    gas tank question

    The 36 gal. tank was an option. I took one out of a 75' or 76' van, to install in my 72' maxi Van, but it would not fit (frame was different). Also, my tank (26 gal.) was metal and the 36 gal. was poly.

    What to purchase?

    I thought this was a Dodge site!!!!! I would not trade my 2005 Dodge Ram 2500, Cummins 5.9, 24 valve, truck for either of these two. I bought new and have 200,000 miles on it and hope I will get another 200,000. If you are not doing a lot of towing, the 2500 is a great truck. The dually works...

Two sizes depending on the GVW and axle used. 8 3/4 used the smaller 1/2" and the Dana 60 (safely axles) used the larger nuts. The one tons B300 (vans) and trucks all had the Dana 60's. I had both in Vans. I...

    77 3/4 ton 8 lug what wheels will fit

    I had special ordered 15x10 and 15x8.5 US Indy mags on my 72' B300 Sportsman Van, which came with 16.5 rims. Had to use 1/2 inch spacers and grind a little off the calipers on the front. The rear worked as bought for the Dana 60. They worked for 35 years until I just last year sold it. Installed...
