radiator questions

Sorry one other question... When looking for parts what is the truck classified as.... B200, D200, or W200

B's are vans, D's are two wheel drive trucks and W's are four wheel drive.

oops... I retarded... its a 318.... not a 350 or a 360... sorry...

B200 = 3/4 ton van D200 = 3/4 ton 2 wheel drive pick up W200 = 3/4 ton 4 wheel drive pick up

alright to answer your questions to the best of my ability,

you have a year and model 75 power wagon

you need to know if 4wd or 2wd most likely (although i see no real reason for a differance in that year truck as far as the radiator)

and you need to know if its an automatic or standard shift (the automatic trans radiator will have a transmission cooler in it)

along with engine size, you need to make sure your other post about it being a 318 is right...should be, the 318 is a common truck motor as is the 360. hopefully no one has put the chevrolet 350 (mentioned in the post i replied to) in that truck, it will just complicate things if they have.

that should be all you need to know about the truck to order the radiator. any GOOD parts house should be able to handle this request, you may also want to put the upper and lower hose on while you are there along with new clamps. couldnt hurt.

Sorry it is a 318 as stated in my latest of posts... it is also a 4wd I am hoping that it is a W200 now, still not too sure... It has a wood bed, and flared rear fenders.... checking pictures people have posted though I can not find any W200's matching mine. Soon when I am granted leave I hope to go to Nebr. and put a new radiator in it and drive it to my duty station in Cali.

Thanks for the help Jeremiah

if its 4wd and it has the 200 badgeing then its a w200

remember from aarcuda's post that w stands for 4wd truck

Thats the thing... the only badging it has is power wagon on the hood... I have only seen it a few times... never been alowed near it too much it was my mothers baby... I finally talked her into selling it...

If it has flared fenders it is a utiline and is likely a 1/2 ton which would make it a W100. If you have the VIN, post it and I can decipher what it is.

Five lug nuts is a W100. Eight lugs is a W200

some more of that practical engineering eh?

Good point!

Mike

Whatever it takes to get the job done. I'm sure ole Meryle would want a committee to study it for awile tho....

Denny

The photo shows it has a full-floating rear axle. It's a 3/4 ton (W200) model.

When I had issues with a boiling-over radiator in my '77 D200, I learned from Performance radiator

Nothing to be engineered. Even you can manage this one. You won't even have to take your shoes off.

shoulda shown this pic

The VIN tells all.
