My newly painted dashboard. Same colors as the side panels.

God willing and weather permitting we are towing the B4D to the great state of MN for BTT50's in a touch over three weeks. not because the truck is show worthy, but more to represent the "B series" and hang out with friends anyone else going to the event?

"C" means the series of truck... used from 1954-56 "1" indicates the year=1954 'H" indicates the tonnage rating=2 tons "71" actually "171" tells the wheelbase= 171"

Has been running since Wednesday now. Might have this licked.

If it has a stock engine (Six?) I'd leave it as is. 2 speed axles are fun to run.

Yes I am, I have 8 cars that I use and get calls to work with.....

I understand your concern fully. Though i think you misunderstand my aims. I don't by any stretch think I can or should go into full scale production. However since I'd already intended to do my own casting specifically for a turbo intake, I thought I'd poke the forums. If anything while my draft is setup and I've got the material I would run off a set or two of my own manufacture. Depending if there was any interest or not. I don't have any intention of trying to be market competitive, even at half the price of ofy parts I would still recoup basic cost. I also understand that proof is in the pudding, so yes once everything is set up again, I'll have more to show than just aspirations. Thanks.

FOr you viewing pleasure.

Hi, I'm just curious where you are with your 37 Plymouth. I also have a 37 Plymouth P4, 4 dr sedan. I have had it since 1987 and am still working on it. I did keep the straight axle. I put a Buick V6 231 and TH350 trans with an 8 3/4 rear end. Just a cruiser, plenty of power for me. I added disc brakes on the front using Mercury Villager rotors and the original hubs with drums removed. My brother and I designed a mount for Wilwood 4 piston calipers. Works great. I used the front and rear seats (6 way power, leather) from a 2005 CTS. If you haven't done anything on steering yet, I would suggest electric power steering. A 2010 Toyota Corolla column with the controller worked very well and easy to fab up. I used the entire column and added a set of relays in a box for all turn signal and other switches. It wouldn't be that difficult to graft onto another column. The 2010 Toyota steering has a default mode with no ECM required, just the steering controller. There is a lot of info on the web about it. I also rebuilt the original steering box and will be getting new king pins soon. I've had a lot of fun with it over the years. Still not finished, may never be, but it's fun to drive.

Sounds like you are ready. Dig in! Enjoy.

I've used this stuff, available at HD.

Nice Power Wagon. Civilian Power Wagons began in ‘45, and that body style ran into the mid ‘50’s. MIlitary versions, VC’s and WC’s, started in ‘40 or ‘41.
