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.

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.

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.

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.
