John, I believe the hood latch changed between 69 and 70. On my 69 you reach through the grill to open the hood, but I believe the 70 -71 latch sticks out the front above the grill.

Congrats Eric, I hope everyone is doing well. Time flies, doesn't seem like that long ago that your first little bundle of joy arrived.

That is one nice looking truck. Does the transfer case bolt directly to the end of the transmission, or does it have a short driveshaft between it and the transmission?

I sold him a few left over parts when I converted my truck to four wheel drive. He checks the forums regularly but doesn't post much I don't think. He's putting together a lot...

The engine was gone but I got the short tailshaft 727 and the other parts I needed for the conversion. The ...

This is a before and after pic of my truck if it works. I retired at the end of 1999 and spent the first six months of 2000 rebuilding everything and converting it to 4X4. Also built and installed a 440 from a 76 Chrysler. Since then I've added Prototech steering. Next project is power brakes. http:...

Glad to see you're getting back into the truck. Mine still looks pretty much the same but now has power steering and soon will have power brakes. I would have emailed you along but couldn't get it to work after you changed your email address. Drop me an email or give me a call sometime, 770-985-0109...
