Maybe its just mine, but whenever my hands are wet and drive the truck, my hands get black and sticky (from the bake-lite?). Should I just paint it with some rattle can enamel?

48 1 ton leaking master cylinder
Mike 1948 1Ton replied to Mike 1948 1Ton's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
Good point, I will do a closer look at the lines to see if there is more copper. This little line actually goes to the brake lock solenoid (which doesn't work) so I think this could be the only copper piece (I hope). Thanks for the comments!!! Mike -
48 1 ton leaking master cylinder
Mike 1948 1Ton replied to Mike 1948 1Ton's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
Here's the problem, line coming out of the back/bottom of the master cylinder. The crack was facing straight down. Was not leaking over winter, but must have had a bit of water around the fitting? I remember that the road was wet and muddy the last day I drove it last fall. So maybe a small bit of water settled there and froze. Then the first time I drive it this year it let loose. While I have it all out I am going to put the new parts inside the MC, spring, cup, piston and all the other little stuff in there. Should be back to normal soon! Mike -

Good point, I'll have to see what it looks like when I get it out. Thanks -
Woke the truck up from storage, no puddles under the truck. Whet to get gas and beer, about 10 mile round trip. Parked in garage and see a puddle on the floor under the master cylinder, leaking from the rear boot where the plunger shaft goes in. Bad seal? I have the rebuild kit on hand. Does the cylinder need to be honed when I get it out? thanks Mike

1 ton fender extension
Mike 1948 1Ton replied to Mike 1948 1Ton's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
Built this to finish off the fender extension project. Used a section off of old running board from parts truck. -
Replaced battery in the '48 this spring too, 6 years old.

You only need the dually rims to make it a dually, no change to the rear end. the dually rims have offests and 'coined' lug holes that seat the rims together. Then they just bolt onto the hubs.

I think you have to join the Facebook group to see the for sale listings, but there is a 9' box with the bolt on fender extensions listed for sale on this page. Here is the description: 9' box $1 Pine City, MN (55063) Anyone have any interest in a 9' box with bolt-on fender extenders for duals off a 49 dodge? No floor or tailgate, but has running boards. Was going to use it on my studebaker, but I found a different box now to use. Located in east central MN. Make an offer. The name is Jordan Waggoner. Thought I would post this as I just made my fender extensions last fall as they are super hard to find. The 9' box is hard to find too. Good luck if someone needs this!!! Mike
