  1. Reminds me of when I brought my 1950 one ton home. Mine had the 7.5 foot box. Looked more proportional as a pickup, than a "truck". A buddy of mine, liked my 1950 so much, he was able to find a 1952 Dodge one ton, with the same box as yours. My truck had sat, in a machine shed, for just shy of thirty years. My buddies truck, was outside and hadn't been run, in thirteen years. Though his sat outside, it was in exceptionally nice shape. My truck had a stuck valve. But that was an easy resolve. It was running after one day of tinkering. My buddy's 52, startled us both. We towed it home, checked the oil, tossed a battery in it, bypassed the gas tank, with a fuel line run into a mayonnaise jar, with gasoline in it, squirted a little gas in the carb, spun it over and it immediately fired up and ran. Even the accelerator pump, in the carb, worked! We both had brake issues. But we rebuilt all our cylinders, as well as masters and we were good to go. We had so much fun. You've not lived, until you see the look on people's faces, as you pull a crank out and hand crank start your old Dodge truck, in the Kmart parking lot! LOL
  2. Mr. Hartung,

    Thanks very much for the fine information you sent to me today. I have never seen this stuff and do not know where you found it. You must have a very good library to put your fingers on this material.

    Please know that I appreciate your efforts. Now I have a part number to use in my search - surely a great help.

    Regards,
