  • 1976 w200 club cab?

    Does anybody know how long a 76 dodge W100 4x4 club cab long bed is, need to know if a 16 foot trailer is long enough to hall the truck. Thankyou.

    The wheelbase is 149", so it should work, assuming its an open hauler.

      It has the 2 ramps on the back that fold up, do you think that will be a problem?

      I need a length from bumper to bumper please.

              I didn't measure the trailer before picking up my last Dodge pickup and was lucky. Above are pics of my belost 75 W200 with dual D60s and 440 Adventurer package...trailer was 16 feet on the deck.

                  I miss that truck bunches. However, it didn't want to play with me. The 440 needed to be tuned, but would still light all four tires. I replaced the fleetside bed with a service body, and that was the downhill time. We tried to flat-tow the Dodge with my wife's GMC and the Dodge would have any of that. I couldn't afford any other transport methods at the time and had to sell my last Dodge pickup.



                  Cheers.

                    Why did you take the bed off? It looks like it was in good shape.

                      Where is a good place to get new floor pans?

                        That truck had been purchased to my profession. I hauled trailers loaded up with water tanks for percolation testing, soil samples, concrete test cylinders and things relative to my work as a geologist and soil technician.

                        The fleetside bed was a neat piece, but would have needed a reskin on the passenger side where tree damage occurred. I also would have replaced the passenger door.

                          I changed the valve cover gaskets and now I have more leaks! What did I do wrong? Dark now, I will fix it tomorrow.

                            Did you use cork or rubber gaskets? Cork won't take much pressure when tightening and will split easily. Use rubber gaskets but still take it easy on the wrench. Also check the edges of the valve covers for indentations of the bolts from over tightening in the past. A little hammer work will level things out.

                              I used rubber ones, I will take them off and look tomorrow. Also I was told I have the np205 transfer case, how can I tell?
