Default Dodgr A100's

Any of you know of any web sites that deal with these trucks. I was thinking of buying one and putting in a 360 crate or a 383 stroker

The 1961-71 Dodge Truck Website.

They also feature some vans, which is how I found it. Before I decided to do my B100 buildup, I was thinking about an A108.

I used to own one,I bought it with the intention of putting a 440 in the bed but after driving it some with the 6 cyl I decided it was a most ill handling beast so I sold it,sitting on top of the right front tire isnt the best position to drive from either and talk about poor front end geometry,dont get me wrong its MOPAR or no car but i gave up on the truck/van thing(which was it?)on the plus side they all have 8.75s usually with 3.55s or 3.91s and youll stand out in a crowd driving one(like you dont already).......PRO..

PRO,
When you say they all came with 8 3/4 rear axle are you referring to the van or the truck? Even though I already have one, it would nice to know where to get swap material in case I decide to do another project after I finish this one.

airgrabber,
PRO is right about the handling in stock form..REALLY SLOPPY. I put in a whole new front suspension complete with lowered springs, stiff shocks, poly bushings and front/rear sway bar. When I am finished, I will let you know how much improvement I got out of the deal. But go for it though. I think the A series trucks and vans and the B-series vans and D-series trucks are all really cool looking...
