  1. Jeff Thanks. Looking forward to the pics. I was able to pick up some linkage from an old farm truck and took photos as I disassembled. And I have the DTG1 to rebuild. I will need to replace the Motocraft carb in there now and it would help to see your linkage connections.
  2. Hi i did acquire a DTG-1 but have not installed it. Here are photos of each side. Hope that helps
  3. Anthony Thanks for your comment. I am looking forward to getting into the rebuild

      ?? You got me on that one....

      not sure what the congrats are for but hey, THANKS ? 

  5. What a great reference. I know you spent a lot of time putting this together. Thanks so much Tomsan
  6. What a great article (s). Thanks for posting !
  7. Lloyd Thank you so much for posting the Carter Service Manual. I have been looking for it for a while. Best Regards Tom
  8. Alshere Thanks so much for posting this
  9. But that construction SHOULD only slow me a bit from rebuilding the DTG
  10. Unfortunately It will be a while. I am having our car port enclosed to create a two car garage. That’s where ‘52 will spend summers. So with permits & construction i need to wait for driveway and garage to be available again.
  11. Well, I had a DTG-1 find me. It all started with this forum and the generosity of its members. Thanks so much for the support. Tom
  12. Jeff Thanks, I will keep looking. Appreciate the tip re Mike's carbs. They are just a couple hours north of me. Tom
  13. What a beautiful truck. Thanks for posting these pics. I especially like the one of floor boards - not often you see them so clean. TomSan
  14. Stylesadamson From the Service Manual, appears the DTE-1 was used on non-fluid drive B-3-C trucks, while DTG-1 was for fluid drives. I am looking into getting some Carter literature and seeing how and why they are different. So I want to wait a bit but may take you up if I cant find a DTG-1. Go 52 Thanks much Tom
  15. 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 ?
  16. Tom'sB2B I'll send Brent a note and be sure to take heed. Thanks

  18. Hi Just joined the P15-D24 today. Have a 1952 B3C. Am so disappointed missed the BBQ. I am in Portland Oregon area. Can you direct me to any NW Oregon or SW Washington pilothouse owners? Thanks Tom
