    Worn out leaf springs

    If you're going to work it hard, load it heavy and/or tow with it a lot the 3/4 springs will be appreciated. If it's going to be a driver (not a dedicated work truck) you'll hate life with the ride with the heavier springs.

    Will 80s calipers fit on a 74 d100

    Sounds like bad hoses. I've fought similar issues many times that were fixed with new hoses.

    FOUND Ramcharger Gas Tank

    This is an excellent upgrade. I've done this a few times to get a second tank, why Mopar didn't do this from the factory I'll never understand. If you haven't done this before you'll need to swap in the the cross braces from the Ramcharger too.

    1973 d200 door panels

    Typical of fiberglass, being heavier than molded plastic (most ABS plastic is injection molded, like the standard door panels 75 and up) or SMC plastic.

    1973 d200 door panels

    Depends on the trim line if they were metal or fiberglass. I've had 72s and 73s with both styles.

    Power Wagon Project

    I'll assume that the paper 'fender tag' with the build codes stuck to the under side of the hood is long gone. If the door jam VIN sticker is still there and readable there's a bit more info that can be gleaned from that. Starting in 81 Dodge started putting a traditional metal fender tag with...

    Power Wagon Project

    The fender tag on this era didn't say much, as you probably already figured out. 138732 - assembly plant internal code or order number W1 - Half ton 115 - Wheel base Conv Cab -self explanatory PY7875 - Paint code - Teal Frost Metallic (very nice color and not very common) W14JE95228185 - VIN...

    Dim dash lights

    Never had a problem with that light staying on on any of the ones I've had over the years. Two things will turn that light on. 1) and imbalance in the front to rear pressures at the proportioning valve. 2) The parking brake is on, or the switch thinks it's on. Unplug both of those wires to...

    Engine swap

    No need for the short tail shaft trans. I've only seen them in the RV's with an extended wheel base or ones with GVW at 10,000 or greater. The short tail shaft will require a two piece drive shaft also. Just match to what you have under there to keep things simple.

    Engine swap

    Big Block motor mounts for pickups and vans are not exactly easy to find, but there out there. The hard part will probably be the oil pan and pickup tube, Mancinni has them (they ain't cheep). Exhaust manifolds for trucks are center dump and are prone to cracking in the middle. Big Block A/C...

    WANTED Heater control cable

    Heater control cables are worth their weight in gold. Finding someone that knows what it is and is willing to sell it will be a hard find. Not saying it's not gonna happen, but... Hopefully you'll find it. If you find an extra one let me know, I want a spare!

    Power brake booster compatability

    powersteering.com is for a place in Missouri. I just noticed that after checking out the website for Midwest Remanufacturing mwreman.com, that's the one mentioned initially.

    Power brake booster compatability

    Their website doesn't say anything about boosters, just steering components.

    Batteries in a diesel

    Go ahead and take that new 900 CCA Walmart battery to a real parts store (not O'Rielys, Advance, Pep Boys, etc.) and have it tested. Then compare it to one of their new batteries of the same group size. The difference will be shocking. We've had several Walmart technicians get batteries from us...

    1980 straps on a 74?

    The plastic tanks don't rot out and take the straps with them. With the tanks not rotting away there's little need to take a tank out so there for replacement straps are not needed as much. Aftermarket companies only make replacement parts for stuff that goes bad frequently. It's a mixed...

    1980 straps on a 74?

    Nope. Fuel tanks and the cross members that support them changed in 81. Starting with EFI in 88 thanks changed again.

    There were three different styles of lower trim 72-76 narrow, wide w/painted inset, wide w/wood grain.

    FOR SALE 72 and 73 Dodge Cabs for sale

    *** I parted out a 72 D300 Camper Special a couple years ago and about all I have left is the cab assembly. If you're doing an accurate restoration on a 72 or 73 there are some specific things that you can only find on a 72/73. This cab is not perfect but still savable. The floor is solid but...

    Side trim molding fasteners/clips

    Looks like they're all over ebay too. For about a buck each is the going rate.
