chuck 47 plym

I went to look at it today. It is a 51. It looks to be missing most of the trim pieces and what i did see looks pitted. The owner said it had a new engine put in 1960 and was parked in 1962.  The car is in an overgrown area and I couldn't see what was stamped on the block. 

Im pondering if it is worth taking a chance on the engine not being stuck and buying it. 

I met someone the other day that has a 51 or 52 Plymouth that has been siiting for a long time. He said the engine had been replaced a few years before it was parked, offered to sell it for a little more than scrap price. My question is how much other than the engine would work for my 47 Plymouth?

I am blasting inside my shop since it is heated. I dont have any ventilation system in it. I do have a blast hood and a respirator with the replaceable filters. I used a wire wheel to remove as much of the flaky rust as i could get to with it. I have set uo a tarp aroud the frame to try to stop as much of whatever I use from going throughout my shop. 

Has anyone tried using garnet mesh for media blasting? Im trying to find a safer alternative to sand for blasting my frame that has pretty heavy rust.

I guess thats where I have issue. I am that guy that would do the job for you ... I just have a issue about hiring someone to do it for me.

I let the mechanic replace my tires, rebuild my exhaust, and front end alignment.

 

What really sucks, I refuse to let anyone work on my house.

This meant Ih dug by hand and replaced 110" of sewer pipe ... this year ... them "damn plumbers" not touching my house!

I only have 20' to go to get to the city sewer line. Working well as is.  I just cant imagine hiring someone to work for me.

 

Not saying it is always bright ... I do question if I would use a pressure washer as much as needed to cover cost.

 

Hey easy on the plumbers! 

I found a 1952 m 37 for sale locally and I'm wondering what size the factory wheels would be and what would interchange with them.

Trying to find the size and pitch of the bellhousing to engine block bolts on a 218. I'm wanting to put my engine on a stand but don't want to dig through shelves to find my bolts. No luck searching  on here for the dimensions. 

If the control arms are interchangeable why not swap the whole suspension for the d24.

We have 5-9” predicted for tomorrow night. After a couple weeks of 50 to 60’s highs in January, this dose of reality is going to be tough!

We are on the southern edge of that system. Could wake up with 3-6 inches. Could be rain. That's southeast mo weather. 

Happy new year all!

I would suggest checking the u joints.

Tom, a very interesting picture. First how many different makes of cars, then is Santa a bell ringer for Salvation Army, finally by looking at the road signs, can one determine the location? 

 

Finally, a Merry Christmas to you and all others. 

I'm going to guess its Mt. Vernon Mo. 

Merry Christmas!

Thanks for the input. I purchased the media blaster from Harbor Freight. To answer the question as to how to get the sand out of the frame I plan on using a sewer jetter from work to go inside the frame rails when I'm finishe. 

I'm thinking about buying a small blaster, debating on weather to buy a soda blaster or a sand blaster. Does anyone who has either have any thoughts on wich would be better? I will be using it primarily  to blast the frame and body on my Plymouth. 

If I remember correctly the vw fun fest is next week in Effingham Illinois.

I used to spot so many old cars while driving the back roads and alleys when I lived in Missouri.  Bought lots of them.

Where in Missouri did you live?

The only way a cubs ticket would be worth that much is if they were playing the Cardinals. Lol. 

If the title matches the number stampedon the frame from the factory why would you need to have the title changed?

OK thanks. I just seen one posted locally for sale on craigslist. 

What size engine would be in a 1952 2&1/2 ton pilot house cab truck?

Yes it is fun to eat there. They are always packed. 

I always thought they were throwed .

Younger years?? At 33 you're still there!!  mid-Missouri?? For most of my life I wasn't aware Missouri existed north of US-60. Come to think about it, I'm still not convinced.. this state gets weirder the farther north you get.. 

That's funny I always that the same about the farther south of the diversion channel you get.... lol

I don't think so. It didn't have running boards and the grill shape was different.
