    Who knows what about the 4.7 engine?

    Shoot me now before the wife does

    I have seen a clean 90s Dakota sitting for about a year now. I like the 87-96 ones the best of all Dakotas, and have been kinda looking for another one to replace my clapped out 96. They're getting older and most around are more clapped out than mine, the few I still see around here. I ve been...

    Dash removal 85 d150

    I've heard that the windshield has to come out to get to some of the screws. Wanting to put "factory" AC into a non AC truck. I have the AC dash, the plenum and all the tubing from the factory AC truck on hand. Can this be "cheated" or is pulling the windshield absolutely necessary?

    Thread divisiions

    Most in (what I'll call) this series of websites cater to Mopar enthusiast's. Which is great because there are already more than plenty of websites for the other guys. Why then is this site in particular, so vague in separation and topics pertaining to dodge trucks? Gee, there's "general Dodge...

    Seat pedestals from b van into pickup?

    Haven't done much onto my 85 d150 lately, but have thought about a few "maybe's" to add to it along the way Ive had both dodge vans and a ram charger over the years, my son currently has an 89 ram charger. I know where there are a couple of ram chargers in local junkyards, one has a real nice...

    Hydraulic clutch master cylinder mount?

    I have an 85 d150 project truck here, and I just got all the stuff I need to put in an 833od 4 speed trans. Everything. And though it came with the z bar and all the mechanical linkage needed to put it in that way, the Bell housing that came with the pile of parts has the bracket on it for the...

    Which trans would you go with?

    Ok... I have a 85 d150 with a /6 and a 727. 2wd long bed. I have an A500 out of a 91 Dakota for which I would need one of the adapter plates they used in the 60s behind the/6 to put a 727 in, before they created a /6 specific 727 case in order to use the a500. I just hit a gold mine I cannot...

    WIW thread

    I happened on an old small semi retired junkyard last weekend. I went in on a tip that they may have some parts for a project my son is working on. (They didn't unless they're stashed in one of his many buildings and semi trailers which I didn't get to) he's working on a 72 Plymouth fury wagon...

    Steering column interchange on 80s D150

    Among the many things on my 85 that were damaged by previous owner butchery and out and out "interference" is my steering column. I went to fix what is normally a pretty easy to fix problem and opened up a hornets nest. How many of you have experienced the ignition switch that loses its "spring...

    interior parts questions 81-93 Dodge trucks

    I am gathering parts, as they become available, towards fixing up my 85 D150 into the best truck I can make it. The more I drive this '12, the more I like the old trucks that I used to have. On the interior, someone, (a P.O.?) did a very poor job of trying to paint/dye the interior door panels...

    Body replacement parts question

    I bet someone will come up with an answer along the lines of "well that's available for Chevy" which always pisses me off being as how I have been driving 2/3 of my life and have never owned anything besides Dodge. I saw a thread on the FABO site about fiberglass body parts for some year...

    Bedside panel replacement

    My truck 85 D150. 8 ft bed. I have some full cutoff replacement bedsides from (I think) a 1988. Whoever cut them off I don't know why they did instead of selling the bed whole/ But for whatever reason they cut the front wall of the bed and the whole length of the bed floor just inside of the...

    bird bath hoods on newer D/W trucks

    1st... what do you guys think.. yay or nay? I kind of like the way they look. 2nd... what is different about the cowl panel (louvered panel at base of windshield) between the bird bath hood equipped trucks and the newer ones? All I've ever heard, is that you have to get the cowl panel from the...

    shipping a truck 2/3 of the way across US

    Im looking at a truck that seems very appealing to me. Problem is its in Oregon (maybe Washington?) I'm in Illinois. I like "rust free". Suggestions (besides renting a truck and trailer from U-haul and eating up what vacation days I have left)

    Looking for ac brackets to mount compressor to a slant 6. Also the cable from the control head to the HVAC box. Truck is an 85, ac plenum and vents came from an 87, I'm adding factory AC to a truck that didn't come with it.

    considering a newer truck

    as title says. it won't be new for sure, just new to me. It WILL be a Dodge, as I have never had anything else. As much as Id like to find a nice "old man special" clean low mile 80s D/W 150, or (2nd choice) a 94-02 series with a Magnum 318 or 360, it isn't looking promising. living in the...
