Lol, this is ironic. After my old man passed away I got his 62 Power Wagon and his motorhome with a 413 in it. I tried to talk him into putting the 413 in the power wagon for years before he died. With a million projects of my own I ended up getting rid of the motorhome. But every once in awhile I still fantasize about how it would have been if I put that motor in there. Thanks for letting me live a little vicariously through you

The truck certainly was, and is, fun. Unfortunately, this truck had a level of "unsafe" that I learned when tearing it down. I used this truck and another together to make the current one. This one had a steering box that had horrible steering and would make me lose control at higher speeds, and the cab mounting points were completely rotted out, making it held together only by the front core support bolts.

Right now I’m putting a mobile home 440 in my 64’ Power Wagon. Ported heads, cam and 4 barrel carb. I also have a 67’ Power wagon. Love these old Dodges. Good job man!

[@hendrickalexander4259]

Your guys are amayzing

[@ih302]

This is THE BEST possible use of a disgusting old motorhome ever.

[@robhargis6980]

Been there several times, brother! 66 D200, 66 W200 crewcab (ex-Air Force), and the latest I just completed a D300 one ton flatbed. All of them 4 speeds and all of them unique in their own right. My next is a short bed sweptside D100, 3 on the tree. I'm getting delivery tomorrow, I can't wait!

[@jmsuitter5]

Loving the new project talent my friend

[@cindymadson1687]

I love watching your videos. It makes me feel like I am there! Nice job!

[@markweston8081]

Cool job man dig the 4:40 my brakes suck could never get them right ended up buying the ram man's front disc brake kit for the D200 worth every penny I spent

[@jeffjamison8614]

Digging the truck brother. Just found you today.

[@robertbrown7083]

Did a similar swap recently. Cut 1" off the Np435 input shaft and the use the FC69907 bearing. Install the bearing in the torque converter hole in the back of the crank. Your 440 valve cover is most likely going to hit the brake booster too.

[@2732hill]

Love the videos! Wish had little more content so I can learn it while your doing it.

[@CoastalAutoReactionCAR]

Check us out bud!!

[@nathankerry3256]

Got love the dirty dodge

[@jmsuitter5]

Now I just got to get you to rebuild an old Jeep for me

[@CoastalAutoReactionCAR]

Come check us out bud!

[@anibaldietrich4825]

Hard metal pick up dodge

[@morgansword]

I would say that you were honest in all means of a showing as this is not a exact science for all. I have wrenched for over forty years so great for me, someone who has never to maybe held a hand wrench... then this would give the patterns and its up to them get books/manuals so it becomes a easier idea of what might or not do. I liked it.

[@jmsuitter5]

You and your Mountain Dew lmao you need a Mountain Dew sponsorship

[@edwardclark3980]

Better off using the mounting hardware motor and auto trans, to put into the D100

[@wayneoakley1832]

Dammit Jim you got a lot going on I got to 68 with automatic 727 minute the 318

[@dandorris8531]

Your shop are storage units? Cool build always love those old swept sides. Dad had one when I was growing up.

[@ricardobenavides5599]

She is a monster with the 440 machine!!!! It is corrct 440 Engine????

[@79tazman]

The trans in the truck should bolt up to the 440 with no issues I have swapped 383 for 440 and vice versa with never a issue

[@ufarkingicehole]

Which is more fun to drive?

[@dogchicken]

This is a simple swap since you already had a big block truck and you stayed with the standard. This is a lot less work than my 65 D100

[@ericcrawley9006]

Mike Simpson how hard was your building a 66 now. With a 440 that I got out of a camper. But got the motor all tore down to clean and honing

[@dogchicken]

@@ericcrawley9006 My truck already had a 383 so I already had the mounts but I am doing lots of other stuff to the truck. 440 will go in soon.

[@ericcrawley9006]

I’m not sure what my truck had in it. But can’t wait to finish this 440.

[@JohnTaylor-kh1sv]

Iam putting a 383 w/727 tf in my 1996 dodge dakota

[@mikefromuniontown3809]

THAT 4 SPEED IS THE TRANSMISSION... it what I call Long throw and If your going to change gears with some little "short stick" that moves 2 inches a shift..what the point? As I 4 year old I would sit in the company's 1966 w500 flatbed and shift for hours pretending I was driving the school bus... Someday LORD willing I may get a chance to shift it in "real life" Im only a few years older than your Truck...It will make you a great daily driver Enjoy! in the 80's and 90's before scarp steel went up in value you would see dodge truck frames with drive full drivetrains but NO body parts... they just used cheap a$$ steel for body panels or there would be even more of those on the road than any other brand from the mid 60's to 1972. era.

[@rkp115]

Does anybody know if those Ford F250 8 lug wheels he has laying there, if the will fit a 66 D200 Swepty???

[@HighRevNation]

They did not. I tried!

[@edwardclark3980]

Doesnt anyone pressure stuff any more.

[@Scott-ec4ux]

more ?

[@HighRevNation]

Have floors I'll be putting in on this in a bit, plus a few other goodies!

[@jmsuitter5]

You plan on keeping truck long term? Charger and it will make a great side by side.

[@billysturgeon8616]

In your state, are you not allowed to call the police department and get a, one time per vehicle, permission to drive your truck to the exhaust shop? I can in South Carolina.

[@HighRevNation]

A temp license plate is allowed, however, I don't want to damage the heads given I'd be running open stock manifolds.

[@CoastalAutoReactionCAR]
