I disagree. Neither the engine or transmission does anything for your truck. Trying to resell those items would be a waste of time unless you get them dirt cheap. It used to be those front hubs and drums were gold, but, not sure anymore. Are there enough of them out there still running around on...

The data plate indicates it was originally a 318 truck also.

Looks like it was an automatic originally. with a Dana 60 rear with 3.54 gears. I can't quite make out the engine stamping on the block photo. What does it say?

Oh, There it is!

Late '68 is when they started casting the timing mark into the passenger side of the timing cover, and used that design through 1969. Previously, they used a bolt on timing indicator. In 1970 it was cast into the driver's side and remained there until now. Some early 318's in trucks didn't have...

Get the 8 3/4 from a '72-4 D100. That would be the easiest one to use.

In the '69 Catalog, I only see an AM radio listed. It's a model 707 with the part number 2906502

Are you after paper catalogs to convert to PDF, or ones already in PDF to download?

I have a good hub and drum assembly if you find yours is FUBAR.

First lets eliminate the 3/4-1 ton pickup and 1 ton vans. Those were all 8 lug Dana 60's and 70's. The '70-1 D100's, and W100's were all 8 3/4 rears. '72-4 D100 could have had either the 8 3/4 or the 8 1/4. '72-4 W100 would have had an 8 3/4. From '74-up the D100's would have come with an 8 3/8...

I would start with the paperwork that came with it. Previous owner, tow yard, lien documents, bill of sale, etc. Maybe whoever had it before you knows who they got it from.

Get a solid state replacement IVR and ditch the stock one. That was probably the reason you had to replace the gauge. When the stock ones go bad, most of the time they lock on to battery voltage which fries the fuel and temp gauges.

That's why trucks came with 727's. Unless the 904 has been beefed up a bit, they are a bit light duty for towing or heavy duty use. Does it hold once in gear? Just sloppy shifts? I'd for sure put in a shift kit and run the line pressure up quite a bit. Naturally the kickdown linkage (or cable if...

I don't like to power wash an engine I can't start right back up. Too much chance of getting moisture inside that might damage things. Good luck!

Why didn't they fix it 25 years ago? Bent frame? I'd start that thing up before I power washed it or did any other major work.

I looked for one of those for ages. Ended up getting a standard cab as that was all I could find at the time. Have fun!

Possibly, I never did an analysis on them. The broken ones I've seen seemed to have some sort of fiber mixed into the plastic. They just seemed much heavier than their later plastic version.

If yours is an Adventurer, they have fiberglass door panels held in place by screws under those chrome metal strips. After 50+ years, those panels can be quite brittle, so, take care in removing them. The lower price lines have the metal door panels. Those should be fairly easy to find in decent...

Big block 727. to get the year and more detail, post the stamped numbers off the case at the pan rail on the driver's side.

Usually, car headers don't drop down far enough for truck applications, but, that would depend on the brand and type of headers.
