A couple things, I have a short bed 75 power wagon, with a small block 340 in it. ps, pb, at, non full time with locking hubs. Not a stock unit as my dad who is a dodge master, has built this one from many around the shop. I am going to swap the engine out for a 318, and stick with the 3:55 gears that are already in it. I am searching for any info on overdrives. I plan to remove the behind the seat tank and reroute the exhaustsystem then mount 2 frame tanks. So I am also looking for a metal box to put behind the seat. I'd love to hkeep the 340 but can't afford to feed it on premium. Quite a few other tasks lie ahead as well, anyone have any input on extra frame strengthening for future snowplow mounting? Also figuring to mount a boom off of the rear to use as a poor man's crane with a hydraulic reciever mounted winch. Thanks, great site, glad to know there are people who appreciate a damn good truck,
Steve
