it's probably the factory block in there , and I would wait until the engine is in to get to work on the springs or you could do alot of work and end up with a truck too tall or too low.

and this is how it sits now , got the front fixed up first time my friend cutted the coils with a torch and on top of that they where for the 6cyl truck so it was really low and saggy. I found some d250 coilsprings and cutted it with a saw and that fixed the height and the ride aswell









interior done for now

long story short , I took the 360 out of the PW and bought a jy 727 for it.

yeah its dirty but I was in a real hurry , plus it will get cleaned down the road.



Engine in , wire mess , oil mess the usual stuff when you don't take your time to do things lol

 I found this one about a year ago , it had been sitting for the last 16years , and I tought I should fix it up... not the brightest idea but I had some free time.

being a mexican truck d-150 means 6cyl , base truck d-250 are v8 or more upscale models. it had a slant and a clarck t-190 4speed on it , the plan was to get it into drivable state but then I found a BIG hole on the side of the block and things snowballed from there.

How I found it

find stock replacements for the body mounts , polymounts are hard and not so gentle on the body.

well it is a np203  , and it seems the truck was fairly loaded with options , including the pedals with aluminum binding thats cool.

well I only took the radiator off ... taking the front clip makes more sense  ;D

you can tell by just looking at the shifter if its a 203 it should say low /low-loc /neutral/hi/ hi-loc not in that particular order but I can't remember. the center hump is removable I think for access to the transfer I think.
