Truck Bed Bike Rack That Isn't Fork Mounted That Works With A 1966 Dodge Pickup
The Replacement Wheel Holder for Swagman G10 Bike Rack # G1025 unfortunately does not fit the Swagman Pick-Up Truck-Bed-Mounted 2 Bike Carrier # S64702. If you wanted a truck bed bike rack, that mounts via the wheel rather than the fork, then the Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack # TH93VR would work great for you. This rack can accommodate one bike weighing 50-lbs with a maximum tire diameter of 20"-29", and a maximum tire width of 5".

Installing a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Electric Brake Controller on a 1977 Dodge W200 Pickup
To wire a 7-way trailer connector on your 1977 Dodge truck you'll first need to wire in a 4-way trailer connector using # C58044. If you need more wiring throughout the truck you can use # 16-4B-1, which is sold by the foot. Then for the 7-way use # ETBC7 to supply the connector and the additional wiring for the brake controller. If you also need a brake controller I suggest using the Prodigy P2 # 90885. This is one of our top selling controllers because of its reliability and how easy...

How Much Power/Amps Does the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Draw
The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 will draw 1 amp of current per volt sent to the trailer brakes on a tandem axle trailer and 1/2 amp of current per volt sent to the trailer brakes on a single axle trailer. Therefore, the max amp draw would be around 12 for a tandem axle trailer or 6 for a single axle trailer. In order to transfer the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 from one vehicle to another you would need both the Pigtail Wiring Harness part # 7894 and the Replacement...

When Using the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite In User Controlled Mode Does the Power Ramp Up or Apply Instant
The user controlled mode on the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller part # RED44FR will act similar to a timed-delay brake controller. Therefore, the amount of power applied to the trailer brakes when in the user controlled mode will ramp up to the pre-set level to ensure the brakes on the trailer do not lock up. For example, if you were to turn the brake controller up to the highest setting while in user controlled mode, the amount of voltage sent to the trailer's brakes would...

Time-Delayed Brake Controller Recommendation to Match Tekonsha Wiring on Truck
Tekonsha does have their PowerTrac # 39523 time-delayed controller but before you give up on proportional controllers I recommend checking out the Primus IQ # TK90160 because it's a more basic setup than the Prodigy P3 but you still get the control and accuracy of a proportional setup. Either of the controllers mentioned above will plug right into the Tekonsha wiring you have on your vehicle. Attached are review videos of each controller for you to check out.

Nerf Bars That Fit 1978 Dodge W150 Truck
There is an option to add nerf bars to your 1978 Dodge W150 truck, though I checked with Westin and they do not have a fit, and as such no brackets for you truck. Instead, if you'd like to put nerf bars on your W150, what you will need is a set from DeeZee, which will fit a regular or extended cab: - DeeZee Universal Nerf Bars # DZ3700291 I checked directly with the manufacturer for you to ensure these 3 inch bars are a fit on your '78 Dodge W150.

What Tire Chains are Good on Ice and Will Fit Both 235/75-15 and 225/75/15 Tires
The Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains w/ Cams part # TC2819CAM that you referenced will fit your 235/75-15 tires but not your 225/75-15 tires. The reason for this is because the 235/75-15 tires are 28.9" diameter x 9.3" wide whereas the 225/75-15 tires are 28.3" diameter x 8.9" wide. For a very similar set of tire chains that will fit both 235/75-15 and 225/75-15 tires I recommend the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains part # TC1850 which have the same ladder pattern and v-bar design but have a slightly...

Adjustable Hitch for 1972 Winnebago Brave with Modified Frame
I recommend going with an adjustable hitch receiver for your Winnebago. The Draw-Tite Multi-Fit Motorhome Trailer Hitch item # 5350 is adjustable from 24" - 46" wide and will fit the spacing on your frame. This is a 2" hitch receiver that has a maximum towing weight of 5000 lbs and 6000 lbs with weight distribution system. It also has a 500 lbs tongue weight capacity which can be increased to 750 lbs. Your vehicles frame has been modified and adapted so it is difficult to find a hitch receiver...

Can Bulb be Replaced on Peterson Red Flush Mounted Sealed Turn Signal Light 435800
Peterson brake/turn signal light # 435800 is sealed and cannot be opened up to change out the bulb. I pulled one from the warehouse to verify this and cannot get the lens off (without breaking it) to access the bulb/interior of the light. What I recommend is to use an LED light, # STL43RB, because the LEDs will last much longer than a regular incandescent bulb. For a grommet use # A45GB and for a wiring harness use # A45PB.

Recommended Universal Camper Tie-Downs for 1979 Dodge Pickup
The Brophy Camper Hold Downs, part # HSSF, which you reference, are a universal fit item and will work on most full-sized trucks, so they should work well with your pickup. Some dual rear wheel beds and bed liners that block the top edge of the side rails can cause a problem with the installation of these hold downs. These hold downs wrap around the bed rails and are mounted inside the bed under the side rails. These tie downs do not have a weight capacity limit and will work for any camper...

Dimensions of Westin Fey Diamondstep Rear Bumper for Vintage Truck
The Westin Fey Diamondstep Rear Bumper - Silver Powder Coated Steel # 20002 has a length of 74-1/2 inches. I reached out to my contact at Westin and they don't have the custom mount kit for that vehicle, so you will either need to make one or use the Installation Kit for Westin Diamondstep, Surestep and Surestep Deluxe XLT Bumpers # 92230 which may require modifications. Because it is a universal fit, our fit guide won't help with the specifics of the installation because each installation...

Recommended Tow Bar and Base Plates for Flat-Towing 1952 Dodge Panel Truck
We do not offer any custom-fit base plates for your 1952 Dodge panel truck but Blue Ox makes a set of heavy-duty bolt on base plates designed to mount to a flat section of bumper, part # BX88230.
