  • Update to my 74 W200





    Picked up these 18x12 wheels and 325/60/18s. Need new tread, but with the plans I've got for it I need a low wide stable truck. I'm waiting on the rust repair panels, and I've got a new clutch/starter for it. Trying to find a M880 to steal the seat from and I'll be set for a while. Got 2 new batteries, and I'm trying to fix the passenger side tray. Did dodge ever offer a dual battery setup in these old trucks?

    Why??? Why the low profile tires? You must not plan on taking it off road.


    I'm able to fit 2 batteries in mine where the one original one was, just turned them sideways.

      Well I'm keeping the 33s since it's going to be a tow rig. I have a 16k 5th Wheel going in along with a 15k pintle hitch. I am building a 440 stroker so ill have plenty of tq :-) to yank what ever I put behind it

            picts coming

            I'll get the kid's to snap some shots. I'm at their mercy with digital photo gizmos. I still put my eye up to the screen, I can't get used to, no "click " when shot is taken.

                man, those wheels look cool.

                I have a spare battery tray I can send. You could put it on the other fender well. PM me with your address and I'll ship it this week.

                If you're up this way (Raleigh, NC) in the near future, I also have a bench seat out of an '89 D150. It's ugly red cloth, but you can plant your butt on it. You can have it if you want it.

                I noticed you don't have the push bumpers. If you want those, too, I have a pair of the ones that bolt to the bumper you have. I could send them with the battery tray.

                    Some (all?) M880s had a battery tray on the pass side that held like two extra. I use mine as a perch for a tool box.

                      Do you happen to have a pic? I know where a couple 880s are but the guy is never around for me to talk to. They are ambulance and welding trucks.
