  1. You may want to check with this seller on eBay. He is reproducing drums and hubs for 40s-50s Plymouths last time I checked with him he was going to start making them for dodge and desoto soon. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1946-1947-1948-PLYMOUTH-BRAND-NEW-REAR-BRAKE-DRUM-WITH-HUB-LEFT-HAND-THREAD-48/173645089810?hash=item286e0dcc12:g:QBoAAOSwa55cImwy
  2. Keep me updated if the clutch pedal adjustment helps with the noise. I probably won’t get to mine until Friday or Saturday.
  3. Thanks, I will try adjusting the clutch rod in first. I did take a quick look underneath the car this morning before work and the inspection cover on the bellhousing is gone, so someone has been in there at one time.
  4. The car does go into gear fine, and the noise seemed to go away at times when the car was driving. I didn’t drive it too far as I was afraid of doing more damage. The car had been sitting since the 80s prior to me buying it last month. The previous owner basically just got it to run for the sale of the car, I think all he did was drain the gas tank, change the oil and do the master cylinder and wheel cylinders.
  5. In the video the car is parked in neutral.
  6. I have a 1941 desoto that is making a rotational rattling noise when the clutch is let up, when the clutch is pressed down it goes away. I was thinking (hoping) maybe a throw out bearing? No local mechanics I called will even touch the car. So now I am pretty much forced to try and fix it myself. It is all stock with fluid drive and simplimatic transmission, any input will be helpful. Video attached showing the noise. 2B942509-238F-4BAE-93EC-53815FF4A506.MOV
  7. Nice set of nos seat covers, they look in great condition. Good thing the seller took them out of the box first. I bought a set years back at a swap meet, but they must have gotten wet over the years in storage and were full of mold and mildew after unboxing them for the first time.
