Owner and I only talked briefly......so didn't get a chance to pop the hood.What this is is a truck parked on the side of the road, with a couple similar trucks and old farm equipment. Have driven by it for years, but wasn't looking for a D600, so never paid it any mind. Seller doesn't have it...

Didn't think to grab a picture of the truck. Standard 1975 D600 with stake bed. Sheet metal and interior are in decent shape for the age. Seat was rough. Glanced at the plates and they were 200? something, so has been parked for a while. Gas tank is missing, so hasn't moved lately and isn't...

Me again. Due to the age of the ol monster, and in need of some parts....short term....truck tire rims.....long term, maybe a backup engine and transmission.....so have been looking around for a parts donor......and came across a derelict 1975 Dodge D600 truck. Problem being, it appears to have...

Quick update.......first cutting season now completed. Engine did well. Eventually made the same run down the road to deliver bales as shown on the video.....on return trip, she was running well so left it in 3rd to see if she would pull a steep hill. She did with ease, so I worked up the nerve...

For those that responded and got no reply......yes, much easier than bucking bales off the ground and up into the barn loft. Crew of 3....driver and 2 stackers can do 1,500 to 2,000 bales per day if they get after it. BTW, transmission only says 540.....no D. Best guess is the builder of these...

Not exactly an A body.......but......gives you an idea of where the 318 resides.......and what it does.

My concern about the servicing of the carb was renewed after I found and went through this manual..... http://c803310.r10.cf2.rackcdn.com/bbd_carburetor_manual.pdf Again, based on reputation alone, I have (or had) confidence in the guy who did the carb for me......but seeing how specific the...

On the intake manifold......I am assuming it is stock....what came on the replacement engine.....and I may be about to show my ignorance.....but I assume that the manifold is specific to carb type? As in can't mount up a 2 barrel on a manifold intended for a 4 barrel? Also keep in...

This carb photo is of the left side......as for legs on the manifold......I assume you mean exhaust......it has 6. Again, sometime in the recent past (probably 5 years ago), previous owner replaced original 1969 -1970 era 318 with newer 1983 engine....as per date stamp. No VIN, so probably a...

Good news.....bad news. Good news is I swapped out the condenser.......and she started up and ran.....meaning I didn't do any harm. Bad news is.....made no difference. Still stalls if you rev the engine. I also swapped out the vacuum hose that runs from the carb to the distributor.......and...

Off in a bit to pick up a set of plugs, points, condenser, rotor and some vacuum line from carb to distributor. Also, the carb does not have a working choke. Not sure if this is a product of mixing apples and oranges (newer 83 block) and older pre-71 carb and ignition system, but what do you...

Long shot, but I'll ask anyway. Anybody SB gearheads close to central MO who are currently sitting things out, starved for entertainment and would like to take a crack at her?

Carb has already been done, and finding a kit was an adventure, as the old Carter 2 bbl has no ID number on it. I thought the same on the plugs, points, etc. But since there are so many unknowns as to which engine it really is, we had hoped there might be some basic ideas on where to set the...

Revival of this thread from last summer. An update.......since this thread went dormant, we did a bit more work. Basically installed a new wiring harness for the ignition circuit......installed all new autometer gauges.......replaced most of the fluids.....and took it to the field. Got to use...

That is for a mechanical clutch linkage on the driver side? Have concluded that my engine, bell housing, transmission, etc. are similar to what would have been factory issue on a Dodge D600 medium duty truck, with hydraulic clutch, with ball end of a 13" fork on the right (passenger) side...
