91 W350

I wonder if the roof rust is a Dodge thing (like cracked frames on Chevy’s, etc)? I have a love friend with a W250 and his roof is rotted across the top of the windshield too.

It’s very much a dodge thing, they used a stupid 3 piece design in the front by the drip rail….you have the inner roof, then a middle piece and the outer skin. They all come together at the drip rail. Dodge seam sealed it at the factory but over time the seam sealer cracks and moisture finds it’s way into the layers. They also get moisture inside when they sit out in the sun during the day and then it cools at night…couple that with the fact that dodge didn’t paint the insides of the roofs and it’s not a good combo.

This is what it looks like with the outer skin removed:

Went to the junkyard today to grab a set fuel lines that go from the TB to the frame mounted lines because the PO decided to run rubber lines front to rear :surepal: Crawled under the truck I was grabbing them from and there hangs a 205, so naturally I had to grab that. Was wheeling it out to the gate and tripped over a 208 that someone pulled to get a transmission and left sitting there….the work was done so I grabbed that too:

Round 205 and fixed yoke 208(is that dodge?)
 
Yep, figure 8 205 without the adapter tho, but yep both are dodge.

23 spline dodge 205.
 
Just that shifter bracket is worth more than what my yards are charging for the whole tcases. Well done.

That and the sleeve that goes between the trans output and the t case input…they treat me pretty good at the local yard but I spend a lot of time there too
