    71 D-D-D Dodge D500

    My suggestion would be millertire.com or coker tire. Price is $400-500 per tire.

    Engine losing power going uphill

    There is/was a rubber fuel line behind the front fuel tank that connects two metal lines, but it sounds like you replaced that line?

    Engine identification

    Looks like the only V-8 engine options for light duty trucks was 2 versions of the 352. IF it is the original engine, the 4th digit in the VIN would be a "Y" for the 352 or an "8" for a low-compression version of the 352.

    1978 Shop Manual Vol 1 - Section 13 - Steering

    Thank you, Sir! Glad it helped. There is a mistake in the '78 manual for the Neutral Safety Switch. The'78 manual shows the NSS attached to the column, as it was in '77 and earlier. That is not the case. On '78 models and later, the NSS is attached to the side of the transmission.

    No. 351M wasn't introduced in the truck line until 1977.

    Old Orange is Sold

    Hello! Yes, It's still black, but not much of a beauty. Rust is doing what it does best. I bet I've put 500 miles on it in the last year.
