I have a 1952 B-3-C with fluid drive. Previous owner replaced carburetor with a Motorcraft carb. It is functional, but has an automatic choke (how boring) and no manual throttle cable to the cab (really, those Ford guys are so boring). See photo of existing configuration.
According to 1951-52 B3 Dodge shop manual, it should have a Carter Ball in Ball "DTG-1." See two photos from manual.
The 1948-53 Dodge parts manual lists a Dodge part number for this model truck as 1269 404 (I have Fluid Drive).
I have looked online for Carter Ball in Ball units, and they have a number on the upper fin, but of the ones I've seen, the numbers do not correspond to any of above numbers. At recent SWAP meet, passed 1,500 booths and saw lots of old carbs (not many MOPAR). One gentleman had some ball in ball, but number appeared to be D6H2. See last photo.
Can anyone help? Should the Carter have the DTG-1 printed on the fin? Are there many (any?) DTG-1 out there?
Thanks so much.
BTW, I have owned this truck for a year and been searching online and looking at Ebay and various vendor sites. Until coming upon this forum, felt like I was in a wasteland. Finding this site was like crawling over a sand dune and seeing an oasis with water, shade, and belly dancers. Well, at least the water and shade. You all have some great resources. And no offense to those who own Fords – I have owned several over the years and now own two modern ones ?
