Anudder pic...




That's a better shot. That is a clean truck isn't it? Looks like a pic taken in the early 70s. Cool!




When I quoted this post, I thought I was quoting the post for the baby blue truck in the first post. Your truck is sweet, by the way.

It's a 1970 W100 SWB, 318/np435/mp 201 with a dana 44 in the front and an 8.75" out back. It has been a pretty good truck considering that we bought it for parts.

Here is my '65 w100. I am almost finished with it. I need to install the interior, bed wood/hardware, gas tank and a little touch up here and there on the paint. Should be fun with the 408 and 4.88's.

I did forget to share some exciting news for sweptline owners. I just sent a large box with a complete heater box, firewall insulation, and most of the rubber body seals/bumpers to Jim Filmore at Detroit Muscle Technologies and he is going to make heater box kits, etc. using my cores as templates. Stay tuned for more info.

A few questions while I am on the topic:

1) does anyone have a good specimen of the rubber bumper found on the rear door edge?

2) does anyone have a truck that has factory installed shoddy pad under the dash? None of the trucks I have looked at have it.

3) If you have any rubber bumpers, cab insulation, etc. let post up some pictures. It would be cool to get this stuff reproduced considering the rising popularity of these trucks.

4) Does the 61-68 floor mounted accelerator pedal interchange with any of the cars? If not I'd like to try and work with a vendor to reproduce the pedal pads and accelerator pedal.

1970. Was slant/manual, now 383/TF727. Has had a different front suspension swapped in, I believe it's from a Dakota. The bed has some rust issues and I need to weld in some sheetmetal now that weather is beginning to not be awful. S/F....Ken M

I've got the '71 twin to VanishingPoint's '70. All the mods are listed in the For Sale section. Great ride for the Hot Rod Power Tour in 2012, made the run from Arlington back home to Michigan at 80+ with the a/c on and the tunes cranked up. I hate to sell it, but I inherited the '67 Coronet 440 convertible that Grandma bought new in '67, and I need to fund the restoration of that one.

VPW did have them at one time but I don't think they've had them in a while. They don't appear to be the same as any other vehicle but some others will fit.

I saw this truck on CL and thought the pic of the interior was showing a ripped up seat. The way the light was hitting it, and being in the smaller pic, it looked ragged out. It's very nice.

I hate all you guys with these Swepties! I love these trucks but don't foresee buying one unless it falls into my lap (67 Coronet at the head of the que and a 72 Challenger I'm wrangling on)

Looks like my old truck. Sold it aug of 2012 to a guy in chicago area. It was a sea foam green orig and I put it in gray primer. It is sitting on a 76 or 77 dodge pickup frame. When I sold it, we had the shifter on the floor and setup backwards to have room for my daughter to sit in the middle. I tried to attach a pic but its not working

Yep, that's the one, you're out west past Elgin, right?

Was wondering about the frame and front end. Am going to start doing some work on it now that we have seemingly finished the eternal winter, lol. S/F....Ken M

OK, so I got it from the guy you sold it to.

I'd love to hear the backstory on this truck so I have a better idea on where to go from here. Current plan is switch to 2.94 gears and a limited slip and throw a RB crank in one of the 400's I have laying about, or possibly the 383 that's in there now. S/F....Ken M
