I own a 24' 1978 establishment Dodge 440, sat for 12 years with the pervious owner before we decided to take her on for 200.00. Well I replaced the Carb with the Edelbrock which was a great move replaced the cooling system-Fan-Radiator-water pump. Then went after the interior new carpets and covers which we did ourselves, new tires last. She passed smog here in California no problem and we have done two trips at 1000 miles each. Problems we me to fix steering still to loose and now have a surge under heavy loads any suggestions?

May I suggest posting your questions about steering and surging at www.mopartruckworld.com. A lot of experienced Mopar fans hang out there and the General Truck Help board is specifically for questions like this.
I'd put your question up myself but it'd be much better to cut out the middle man and go there yourself.

I found my fuel tank! I spent a couple hours searching a old junk yard and came across a Dodge chassis! I pick up the tank on Monday!

Well, I just installed this combo. Runs ok. If I slow the RPM's via the idle screws it gets rough. After calling the Edelbrock HELP line I found out this is not a direct replacment for the Carter ThermoQuad. I know, it was never said it was. I also found out this is not an emissions legal carb due to its lack of vacuum ports.
It did go on quite nicely tho. Sure hope I can get this thru DEQ!
Just an FYI for y'all out there.

I picked up my fridge vent at a Camping World Store. I see them in the catalog as well. The "Corner Edge" item? Is that for the side to front or side to back applications? If so the extrusions for my 1976 class c were out of production.
I picked up some 1X3 aluminum angle and formed it to the position with several relief cuts and then overlayed extruded flat molding that receives a vinyl screw cover. The angle was purchased at at a local metal supply and the other extrusion was purchases at a RV service/parts center. The extrusion was predrilled and easy to form over the angle aluminum. The two together look very similar to the original.
If the "Corner Edge" is the top/side extrusion that has a chanel for an awning, your rv parts/service store may have it in stock.

It is the replacement (#1905) which I bought ($509 @ Summit Racing). Now I have problems when it gets hot "loading up" and dying. This actually only happens when putting along in traffic or backing up to park, but it is nerve racking! I'm going to call Edelbrock to see if they got a solution.

According to the guy I spoke to at Edelbrock, they do not have a direct replacement for the Thermoquad. He was not very forth coming with info... kinda had'ta drag it outta him! His total answer was "take it to a shop, they should be able to make it work!"
Not the answer I was looking for.....
