    Need help with '77 M886 paint color.

    RE: Need help with It's green! Problem with lusterless paints is, they fade, I can also get 20 different shades and levels off gloss out of the same can of 34079, just by playing with the amount of thinner in the paint and air flow adjustments. Even with the mixes down to a science, there is...

    An M888! No my #8 key isn't stuck

    Stumbled across a 77 M888 Telephone truck. On ebay listed as a "1978 Dodge Ram 2500 W200" These are not common trucks and this one is in decent shape too!. Well worthy of this Link to it

    How gutless and manifold exchange...?

    Lots of good points. The valves are tiny, the ports are small. Simply putting a 4 barrel on won't help. For power, you'll need the 360 heads with small combustion chambers, or heads from a 85 / 86 5.2 Police car motor (bigger valves!) Ok yea pretty gutless, but with the 4.10 gears they will...

    newbie

    Re: RE: newbie Not enough info, perhaps just a screwdriver where the key was, or run a power wire from battery to the coil for spark, and another to the starter relay on the drivers fender well. If you bring the fuel & battery, don't put the fuel in the tank, bring about 4 feet of 3/8 rubber...

    newbie

    At $800 if it's not rusted out, go for it. as a solid body is worth that much alone No battery and no gas could mean it is not a good runner. but a battery and a can of gas could easily verify that. Manual steering boxes are usually worn out by 50k The advantage of the Dodge is that all of the...

    Should I butcher my rear bumper?

    The M880 rear bumpers are hard as hell to find in decent condition! If it isn't all bent up or rusted out, it should be worth more than a everyday step bumper. My plate is mounted to my receiver hitch, under the bumper.

    A few pics and comments...

    WOW! It is rare to find the 24v system in place in these trucks! Speedo has been replaced, the originals did not have kilometers. Data tag on dash? an M882 would have antenna mount holes in 3 locations on the bed sides, (bed could have been changed though) as for the year, sometimes government...

    Best manual?

    Mopar Factory Service manual for the W200 ( Not cheap at all though) 75 M880????????/ Typo? M880 series trucks are all 76 & 77 model years, sure some were built in the fall of 75 as 76 model year trucks.

    M880 Parts?

    Ahh, unburnt ones are easy, clusters with good original speedo's, now that's a little harder. Saturnsurplus has the replacement speedo's (with kilometers on it) for about $50 I think. There is one seller out there that (I feel) should be avoided, web site and ebaay, Since this person goes off...

    M880 with commo shelter

    Looked in da book the 60 amp vs 100 amp is the 24v generator The pic in the link might be an M880 with a shelter set in the back can't see the channel up front in that pic. I have not seen a M884 with a tailgate, maybe they did come with them, but it sure makes it hard to get in the back door...

    M880 with commo shelter

    Ok differences from a M882 (from memory) Rear springs, overload setup like on a 1 ton No Tailgate, but two angular braces which also keep shelter from sliding out a "C" channel running across the front of the bed, to hold shelter down Antenna do not mount on bed side like M882. (I think)...
