That's definitely a Mopar big block. It's hard to say from the pics which one it is. If it's a raised deck (RB) big block it will have a flat machined surface about 2" square right behind the water pump tot he drivers side, even with the intake mounting surface that will be stamped with...

Look for TM9-2320-266-24P in the Tech Manuals section here on SS under Resources. In the back of the manual in the Special Purpose kits it has the diagrams and install instructions that should help you out.

I disagree. My '74 W100 and '74 W200 were two of the most reliable vehicles I have ever owned. I beat the crap out of the W100 rock crawling, swapped in a big block 383, bobbed the bed, wheeled the **** out of it and the only broken part was one front axle joint. The W200 was a work truck...

To my knowledge there never was a military version of the Ramcharger done under a normal contract like the M880 series. I have seen a few Ramchargers that were purchased as civilian models that were outfitted for use by the military as base security or something similar but nothing tactical...

On the subject of the M880s and Dodge truck in general, I personally love them and while they do have their quirks, they are easily overcome. Everyone has their preference as to which brand or model is "best" but what it boils down to is what is best for them. I have been a Mopar guy all my...

New Process model 200 or more commonly, NP200.

Go to the M715Zone.com and look at the top of the page for Online Manuals. You can view them or download them for free.

Be aware that the NP203 full time 4WD transfer case will NOT swap with any other common Dodge transfer case without modification tot he transmission. The adaptor housing and tailshaft are both a different length than the more common transmissions that mate to part time transfer cases. In order...

If you know what diameter wire rope you need and the dimensions of the drum, there is a very complex formula to determine the amount of rope to fit on a winch. Luckily, I found a calculator on the Ingersol Rand website that works great: INGERSOLL-RAND Drum Capacity Estimator It even allows...

All the joking aside it looks to be a fairly well done mod. A lot better than some of the half-azzed things that pop up from time to time. Roof rack looks well thought out and it seems to be a good way to get 20 or so people from one place to another in relative comfort.

Cool APC. Sort of odd to see that old of an APC with all that modern gear and uniforms in side, lol. I thought airsoft was sort of illegal in Canada?

Wow, 10 years? Chris, I take it that is since the Yahoo group? I can't remember when I joined up. I know it was after the site was up. I think I lost some time on my sign up date during one of the forum changes, lol. Seems like I've been here forever, lol. As with everyone else, I'd like...

I've pondered all of this many times for a future APC project. The hardest part is to get eh steering right. Unless you use parts from another 8x8 vehicle, you are going to have to fab up quite a bit of stuff. I plan on copying something like Bjorn's 8x8 with a drag link that goes to the...

It should also be noted that continuous driving with the NP203 in the Hi-Loc position and no front driveshaft will eventually wear out the lock in the differential and leave you stranded. Get the front shaft replaced ASAP and put it in regular Hi for on road driving. Also, a frequently...

As long as the slip splines are ok, the rest can be rebuilt. Either way, I hope you got a discount, lol. In all honesty, I've pulled worse shafts out of running trucks, lol.

That probably means someone didn't want to get their hands dirty packing it, lol. :-D

That's actually a WM300 Power Wagon, not an M37. They were special ordered as school buses and have a very interesting story behind them. There was a webpage up telling the story but I can't find it now. Perhaps Garbee or one of the guys at the Power Wagon Advertiser may know.

It would probably be easier and more cost effective to swap the Deuce axles under a school bus and add the transfer case. It's been done with two 5 ton axles at least once, probably more than once considering the swamp buggy crowd down South.

No, vans are a totally different setup.

Actually you can use the power steering setup off any W series Dodge truck from '72-'93 as long as you swap all the related components over. '72-'74 use one style setup, '75-'77 use another and '79-'93 should all be the same. If you swap over the steering box from another style, you will need...
