You can swap in a d250/d350 dual diaphragm brake booster (9" diameter) the only difference is the use of a 2 bolt master vs the 4 bolt and I believe metric fittings on the master cylinder
I’ve looked for the D250/350 and W250/350 boosters but, all appear to be out of stock as well. Some wait to tell you until you’re at the purchase point. Super annoying. I could always retrofit a universal setup if it comes to it.
@@sorta_stock showing instock for me on rock auto for a 90 d250 gasser. Like he said 2 bolt and im not sure if the pushrods are the same length i would have to go out and check my trucks. New too not rebuilt rusted garbage
Just ordered the new unit that now shows in stock on Rockauto. Got my fingers crossed it shows up at my door this week. I’m hoping the pushrod is the same but, nothing an adjustable one can’t fix.
There is so much room under those trucks without the stock tank in them. I run a tank in the bed and would love a doubler setup but what i need really is a gear change. 2.90 isnt exactly the greatest for big tires. 4 speed helps out aton though that manual swap 10/10 worth it.
@sorta_stock gauges are always the pricey part, I did a lot of work to keep what I do as affordable as possible while being made to order at the same time. I just made some stainless steel inserts for a guy and I'm waiting to see how they come out before I list the option.
Yeah those 203's are a pretty amazing transfer case. I had a little trouble with the one that was in my 78' W150, the splines inside the input shaft of the transfer case stripped out. I had a 4 speed on mine though.
The one-ton trucks use the small diameter short boosters, rockauto has them. I have an 84 dually so you got me thinking because I have run a 440 in it with no problems. Guess I'll have to order the complete master cylinder booster setup for my 83-ram charger as I have one-ton axles in it and may stuff a BB in it. 4inch lift with 35-inch tires.
@@sorta_stock I just checked rockauto and they had the boosters less master cylinder available for around a hundred bucks. And they have the master cylinders sold separately. I checked for an 84 d350 Dodge at 10:12pm this evening.
This is a big block water pump housing. They switched output directions in ‘73. My 426 stroker is based on a ‘72 400. I ordered the pump correct for the engine and the radiator for the year of the truck. My fault. No biggie. I’ll work a hose setup to reach it
@@sorta_stock 440 source I think sells the aluminum water pump housing with a passenger side output, but either way, this rig is shaping up to be pretty sweet! Flingin' some mud!
That's so cool it's getting there. Looking forward to hearing that 426.
Truck is coming along nicely, I agree I wouldn't paint it either. Nice job
Cool. Nice work Jeremy. The core support came out of a 75 D100.
Crazy to think there are parts from 6 different vehicles on this beast. From the outside, one would never know.
@ That’s pretty crazy.

Really enjoyed your video. Just subscribed.
Thanks Dave! Should have first fire here pretty soon.

Subscribed! I'd love me a Ramcharger someday. The War Wagon is sick! And let me help you with that gauge panel!
Thanks man! Just checked out the website. That aluminum dash insert looks sweet. Haven’t thought about gauges yet. They can get pricey for sure.

The 203s are tough cases, but that spline issue is common if you weren’t careful with the input shaft.

I’ve seen some listed online for sale however, they all show backordered with no expected availability date. They have for the last 4 months at least.

I found and just ordered the one you are talking about. Got my fingers crossed it shows up at my door soon. Thank you!
@@sorta_stock Glad to be of some help. Got to keep these old Mopars on the road.
Do a hydroboost system start to finish a to z so I have a parts list and how to when I do mine😊
What size wheels and tires did you use?
You actually need a big block truck water pump housing, it exits low on the passenger side
