Looks good :)

It's been 10+ years since I did the conversion, But if memory serves me right it had the 4 square headlights. This would make it somewhere around an '80 - '85.

Don't rush it, and it will be worth the wait.

I went with 16" rims off a 3/4 ton dodge van, with 16" Firestone directional snow tires ( winter force ) P265/75-r16. They work great but I wish I would of went with a slightly shorter tire, That way I could of got my truck in the garage with out taking off my plow light.

Many Thanks for the replies, I will have to give it some more thought because I did not consider new bearings and shims. Bob, Are you running an open diff. in the front of your W400 ?

good deal, gonna need the heat soon

Not all gauges are the same. However, any gauge that is of the same type, size and design of the one being replaced should work. You should have decent automotive electrical abilities before diving into the problems these trucks can throw at you.

Bob H is correct on this issue, Mine has been leaking for years from the top of the tank when I overfill it.

Putting on the power steering is pretty straight forward, just make sure you get the correct steering box ( reverse rotation if I remember right ) and the pit man arm for the power box ( manual gear box pit man arm will not work ) Also, there are two different sizes of input shafts to the power...

These trucks have known electrical issues even without the blackout system, so removing it may not fix your problems. The first thing to check is ALL grounds and the firewall connector. The engine side of the connector is where you normally find most of the corosion, ( but you will want to...

There is a web site called Search Tempest, It makes searching Craigslist a lot easier...

Start with You-Tube, They should have plenty of videos of what NOT to do when plowing.

You should be able to use your old lug nuts. Looks like you did good for $200.
