I have a belief, If you learn from the best, you will become the best yourself. I have never dealt with PTC or any other outsource companies for transmissions, but they sound like a solid company to deal with.

I have the same calipers on my 72' Dodge B300 Van. Missing are the spring clips or maybe called, anti-rattle clips for the mounting bolts.

You can remove it, but I would try to apply a lot of WD40 into the stabilizer bushings and see if the squeak goes away. It looks dry in the photo. I had that issue on my 69 and it worked for me. The same with my control arm bushings.

No expert here, but I read once that a bad or incorrect Proportion valve can cause that. Last year I install a 70 dart K/H system in my 69 drum 340 and part of the change was to change the PP valve. I did not and I have no issue with braking, but I do not drive my car in the rain. Also my car...

I lot of good ideas here. Some complicated and some not. I always like to try the "NOT" first. I always keep an electric meter in all my vehicles ($10-$20 cheapies). Any issues, the first thing I check is at the battery. If the vehicle is running you should have 14 or a little higher volts at...

Sounds like a lot of work. I hook up a timing light to each wirer and record the flash at each test. No flash, check, wire, plug and cap in that order. To test wire, I remove it and place it at another plug and cap setting, that I know was good to start with. Same with the plug. After wire test...

Dana67Dart, it is true what you say. Last year I shipped a Viraga pill to a friend and she got the envelope, but it was torn open, and the pill was missing. That is about the same size of the rubber tip. I didn't think of a machine tearing the envelope, I thought someone thought it being a ring...

Had those same hubcaps on my 72' Dodge Sportsman B300 van. The only can on the 8 bolt wheels. I took them off around 74' and had special ordered US Indy mags for it in a 15" 8 bolt, 10 inch wide rims with TA's. That's another story on how I made them fit.

I know you been around the block, but many interior items can be found on cars and vans of the day.

My guess would be, Ford in the day was consider "THE" work truck, with its twin tuff "I" beam suspension. Tuff truck, Big motor = sales, just like the Cummins of today in the HD Dodge (RAM) trucks.

You have the Fleet side, as this one and a step side, with a step protruding out of the front of the bed, to step up into the bed (as in the Little Red Express). I prefer the step side myself.

I see you are missing the right-hand sport mirror. The mounting brackets are different from a vans sport mirrors, though they look the same until you try to mount then. How do I know, I have a van. The mirror itself are the same. Nice truck. The grill is not tin. but aluminum. Not sure on the...

That bracket does not look correct. I have a 69 340 4-speed as the one in the picture. The dash pot gives it away. It's close, but one end has a bent to it, but the location is correct. Mine also is not painted. More like the one in the photo. Do not install it on the firewall, because the...

Demonx2, funny you should say that. Just last week I had a vapor lock on my 69 340 Swinger after filling up. Never happened before, so I did a little research. Winterized fuel could cause a vapor lock, if used in a warm Climent, as in South Florida, where I am. I went back to the gas station and...

Bennoel 10, you are incorrect. I had a 69 Dart Custom with AC. Wheels were 4.5, I believe, and the Torsion were also lighter. The wheels I pitched years ago, but kept the bars in case I were to put together a SB drag car.

Why not just keep a "HOT" battery on the work bench? I have a converter 115 AC to 12 volt DC, as a cigarette lighter plug in. Can be used as you need. Do not remember where I got it, but I had two and sold one years ago.

I had one break on the hex, but at the pump. I think the pump had a bind in it and froze up. Replace pump and stock drive and never had a problem after that. Sometimes, there is no one answer to an issue.

Almost every bolt on today cars has a torque spec. Some even have a "one time" use, as in head bolts and lug nuts. I just did a spindle change on a VW and all the attaching bolts have a torque spec.

All were not made with the wing. My 69 and 70 Darts both are 10" and no wing. Actually, I only seen a few with them. Might be a northern thing as some said here. I'm in South Florida.

Yes, the boxes were made in the good ole' USA but was the part. Fine print sometimes says "package in USA". My 2005 2500 RAM has over 220,000 miles on it with the original front end parts, except front sway bar bushings. They were MOOG, I better check them out.

19DART66, I had to chuckle. Years ago, I had a friend that had a trans Am drag car and every time he upgraded something, he broke something.

go-fish, I know the feeling. On my move out of South Florida, four years I had to lose some weight. I threw out a set of 65' 273 4-bbl heads, but did keep the 4-bbl manifold.

My Dodge B300 Dana 60 safety (floating) axle has those cone inserts on the axle to hub connection. I believe they were used 78' and down. An after thought: The reason I always use anti-Siege on my water pumps, wheel lug studs, mag wheel backing to rotors and drums and other problem areas that...

I agree, if you can find one. I dropped a 69' and then a 70' stock 340 in my 72' B300 Maxi van, years ago and what a big difference there was from the stock 318. Could not feel the pop-up camper I pulled with it. Even raced a 350 Chevy truck while pulling the camper and beat him. We started at...

Sounds like you are enjoying yourself slowly. Why not make up a "WISH LIST" for your family and friends, for the upcoming holidays and birthdays? Input large and small items, so all can participate.

Do a plastic gauge check on all the bearings, so you don't have another issue with the bearings.

They are also used on the B200 and B300 Vans, not sure on the B100's. I have them on my B300 with a 70 340 attached and a short filter fit with the brackets on. A longer filter will hit the frame.

Not sure of all the hype here. I have always used a small cut chisel and cut a slot in the bearing and picked the bearing out. Sometimes I may have to cut two slots.

Yes, in Florida. There are still some U-Picks, but all the larger ones will not allow just anyone in their yard. Palmdale, Fl for one, called Southern, on Hwy 27.
