Guys....I'm recusing a '57 Dodge Coronet and the four tires are toast. I was wondering if the wheels from my '52 Dodge 1/2 ton pickup will match up.....just to get the car on a trailer. Many thanks..... http://www.carnut.com/specs/gen/dodge50.html

My ground cable needed cleaning on the frame. Another alternative is to push / pull start the beast....

Found this 1950 Dodge May 19th 2019.....sitting behind a barn in my local area since 1979....I'm going to see if I can get it running.

Goddom....comparatively speaking, there are not a lot of 1.5 ton and up owners on this forum.....but heap of knowledge from some great guys. Brent B3B is a trusted / fellow "big" truck owner and has assisted me in getting my 1.5 ton brakes fixed. For the master cylinder...I would suggest using the Toyota option as the bolt pattern is identical to the old factory master cylinder. Since my truck was going to be used for farm use, I completed eliminated the factory option brake booster and I'm glad I did. (Gasp!) My truck stops on a dime without it thanks to the new and improved Toyota master cylinder.

I recently discovered the six-lug 20 inch wheels on these Dodge trucks are the same wheel that were used on M35 "Duce and a half" military vehicle. Fortunately there are plenty of surplus Non Directional Tread (NDT) tires and wheels on the market.

Well - - that just proves over the years this 1.5 ton truck had a swap-out of the rear end or just the axle / hubs - - more than likely with what was available at the local salvage yard. My front wheels are five-lug. This information helps a lot when I get to taking the axle out to get to the rear brakes. Many thanks!

Guys....I'm still messing with my 1.5 ton 1953 truck as time permits. I have the dual six-lug budd 20 inch wheels on the back of my truck. I finally got the rear wheels off and found out one of the wheels was a split-rim - - the other three rear six-lug wheels are lock-ring wheels, which of course are not a problem. My question is - - are the 20 inch budd wheels "generic" and used on other manufacturers trucks? I need to find a wheel to replace the split-rim because no one will touch this particular rim.

Discontinued the loaning of my Miller Tools

Who will get your tools when you pass away? A museum? -
Along with playing with old trucks - - I build AK and AR-15 rifles. You guys need to visit the AK forum to see how thick their skin is when it comes to humor.

Copy - - thanks again.

A solid answer I can use - - many thanks. I sent you a PM with a few other questions.
