Dodge D100 newbie
2 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone,
3 years ago I bought a Dodge D100 1978 from a friend which I have a couple of questions about: First I need help identifying the wheels on the truck. I've attached a couple of photos. I'm pretty sure they are not the stock wheels and they are Chrysler wheels but I can't figure out exactly what they are. Help please... Also, the truck runs great, but occasionally, with no apparent reason, it shuts down suddenly and completely - lights and everything. I am suspecting the ignition switch, but really have no basis for that. Thank you for your help... |
Those were an optional wheel you could get on the truck......:)
http://www.pickuptrucks.com/trucks/I...story/10-3.gif However I dont remember the name of the wheel package...... Not sure if it was off the SLT, SE, Macho, Custom, .... I Just dont remember.... Welcome to the site !!!!!!!!!! |
Thank you for the warm welcome...
When I went to get the new tires installed the sales person was very curious as to where I got the wheels...he mentioned something about them being very rare. I've searched all over the internet and haven't been able to find any information about them. |
Welcome!

Engine swap on a Dodge D100 1978
Hey I'm new to the group just join today and I have a couple questions I'm trying to swap out an engine from a 1996 Chevy 1500 it's the V8 Vortec with tranny and all along with the rear end I have a couple questions as to what I'm going to face putting all that in the 1978 Dodge D100. I know I got to change the intake manifold to so it will fit a carbureted setup instead of the TBI that I believe it has on it. But my other concern was with the rear end swap from the axle to the new rear end I know I have to shorten it but I'm curious does anyone have any ideas

Putting a bowtie engine in a MOPAR. Proof that our education system has gone to hell in a handbasket. What is the point to doing this?

What's the point, are you just throwing all your junk in one pile?

Whats the combo in the 1500? 5.7 / 700r4 / 2.73 rear axle ratio ? Good luck with the project, you got lots of work to do and fabrication... :) |

The best thing to do is to install that vortec, tranny and axle in the bed of your D-100 with tailgate down. Put truck in reverse, accelerate to 25-30 mph, slam on brakes, put truck in drive and continue on.
