Dodge D100 newbie
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...

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.

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

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...
