109 NADA Registry

[bfein1075]

Negative earth for '67 on,including the NADA 109's.

I assume this was for the full run of nadas (66-67)? I recently saw one with a plaque riveted to the radiator panel that said negative earth but mine doesn't have it, nor does another friend with a nada.

I will take your word for it.

Thanks

The NADA 109 was officially a '67 model, although some were built in '66 (or '68 like mine)and registered as such. From what I know, all were built as negative ground, after the design change from positive ground. Any truck with a black dash from the factory (including the black vinyl wrapped NADA dash) is supposed to be negative earth. Body colour dash was standard for positive ground trucks. The plaque may or may not have made it on at the factory or a rad panel swap could have occurred as well, along with any number of changes made since leaving the factory 50 years ago.

Thanks. I need a fuel pump and was contemplating the SU version that has a circuit board inside. It looks the same from the outside but is supposedly much more reliable. The only thing is it is not dual polarity so you need to order it neg or positive.

I just picked up 34300572. I am located in Seattle, WA. The truck has been off the road since 2002, so I am bringing it back to life. It strangely has a 1968 AMC 232 in it mated to the stock rover trans via a home-made plate. If I can't tickle this motor back to life, I have an old Scotty's adapter laying around that I may employ behind a Chevy 250.

I need a battery. Any suggestions?

When people made old parts work instead of buying new Chinese crap. Awesome!

If you did not get an answer let me know and I'll root through my many manuals and try to find the original Specs. (redbrush2@yahoo.com)

Why is the registry no longer being updated?

[TWW777]

#34300107 in Chesterland, OH. Mostly original condition, still has the 6 cylinder.

I suspect that all of the interested parties have joined,and the only time they enter the Forum is when they have a question or want to provide an answer to question.

I have #718, 109 SW with safari roof. Purchased about 1987 in Virginia, driven to Alaska right away and Chevy 250 installed, regular driver for many years. Last 15 used primarily as farm vehicle until driven into raging creek and drowned. Now working on engine.
Looking for front brake drums. Any suggestions? Reline drums? Larger brake shoes? Rather not drop to narrower standard drums.
Aware of 2 or three other NADAs in Alaska, one for sale now on Craigslist. Alaskans not much into clubs and registries.

Hi, This is JOsh T

Have you turn down the drums. T have done this to my Nada 109 drums. They work great.

You can get all new parts from the host

The shoes are the issue. I relined my shoes. All purchase shoes are junk, unless you can NOS/.

I did rivet the shoes too.


I have 2 working NADA 203 and 211...
