Re: Spring eye bolts

According to what the factory manual says on my 70 is to tighten them enough to take the slack out of the bolt. Jim

Re: Big Block Heater Hoses

Then just reverse what I posted earlier. It needs the water flowing into the heater core through your heater control valve.
PS. Please understand I am talking about my 70. Jim

Re: When did fuse boxes begin?

"according to my build sheet my truck was built in 7/64"
I'm not sure about Dodge but the manufacture code for Ford ends right after July 4th, then they retool for the new year.
I was looking at the build code on mine, it says 2/70 that makes it 13 years my junior. Jim

i have a very late 64 pickup that had a fuse box - it was not special ordered with it.
I believe your truck is a CSS, there are some exceptions. Jim

Re: drum brake interchange

If your going to change everything so a 70 drums will fit, may I suggest you go with Scarebird disc and forget the front drum brakes. When properly done you won't be sorry. Jim

Re: another brake light issue

I have paid $148. at a Dodge dealer in early 08 for a 69-71, now you can't get them through the dealer. This is where Pwrwgnwalt has sourced them: http://www.shee-mar.com/parts.html
