I have yet to see a specific listing, either OEM or interchange, for the right and left side rear cable setups for a 1968 Sweptline short-box. Do any of you with same truck have the perfect replacement? The priority is the right side cable with casing being 72 -74 inches long. The inside...

Your shop may be too 'air tight'. Like all heat sources that involve combustion, there must be an adequate supply of outside air - preferably from a specially dedicated pipe (6 inch better than 4). Pipe can enter high up and be vertical until near stove - then drop down to vicinity of stove -...

Still seeking a new or used right side (rear) brake cable. Truck has the 12" drums and cable casing 72" long. I cannot find any new listings. Truck is a '68 Pwr. wag. with short box and pretty sure not the only one left in North America. So - - can someone please offer tips or ideas as to a...

Headlite switch or dimmer (foot) switch are also suspects.

Agree with everything suggested by AJ - - :happy:

I had same issues with '77 Power Wagon decade ago. It was loose connections on Ammeter.

Thanks. I see some newer (early Seventies) listings and they don't seem so special. As far as pics, orig cable was seized inside and casing 'buckled' and owner misplaced or threw it out five years ago. I haven't seen truck since November but when it's back to me for maintenance I should be able...

Hello? Month later and no action. :asskiss:. Nobody here has similar truck? Secret interchanges? Have a good Easter and stay safe.

I am seeking a part or link to a good (new or used) right-rear brake cable assembly for a 1968 Fargo W100 Power Wagon with 12 inch drums. The casing is between 72 and 76 inches long and not sure what length the cable itself would be - to extend about 8 inches out each end. I do not have...

This is a Sweptline short-box W-100 with 12-inch drums. I am seeking a good, used cable that is approx. 72 - 76 inches long (casing) - and about 8 inches of cable on each end. There may be a newer part available but I have not seen one - even on R.A. Truck parked for next 3 months so no big...

All good advice. I could not use the A-body rheostat 'cause it has a much longer swing distance - seems like about 180 degrees to the truck's shorter 100 to 110. (guessing). The resistances also way different. No big deal, though. I got back inside the damaged part and strengthened where the...

Hello. I don't fully understand reply. Yes, there is a problem with rheostat, but it is the moving copperish strip inside - that rubs up and down against (fragile) rheostat wiring. In the early 'cab tanks' this mechanism was attached very high so unless tank kept at least 3/4 full, the...

Sorry - - I didn't clarify well. I meant to say "the door-lock assemblies" - the part attached by inside clip - that you put the key into (from outside, of course). These (truck) items have larger metal trim part that surrounds the key slot. The car units of that era are smaller in overall...

Thanks for link. I found this seller and he seems to have a variety of sending units - most are at $100. (U.S.) Considering the CDN $ exchange, plus taxes and shipping, the estimated cost to me (door to door) would be very close to $220. ! I will keep looking for more reasonable costs or...
