You should make sure that the scaling of the DXF export is correct, it does happen. I usually dimension the drawings also. Keep any issues like that from happening, because they have the dimensions I say it is right in the drawing. The only problem I had was in the first part I sent them, I sent a top and side view, as I would most vendors. They sent me both parts
The exact same file worked just fine at CoreMark metals....no scale issues....I guess a drw file woudln't hurt. Next thing I need made I was going to try them.

Its a place called SendCutSend. You just send them a drawing of the part, tell them the material and thickness and bam. I've used them a couple times now. Better than going to a traditional machine shop, or even just doing it yourself some times.
How was your experience with SCS? I looked into them and my dxf that was in inches they said was in mm?

UP of MI can get pretty dark out by the lake. Summer trips up there are magical on the beach with friends, beers and a campfire.

Only the earlier B series had this. My B3's don't have it, so unless you are going for the full score on a resto, you could ignore it.

If that fails, he might become a "plug" himself (best worst case scenario).

I received the wheel cylinders from Rock auto, and they have the washer included with the cylinders. But now a new snag. The bolt patterns do not line up. My old cylinders are 1-3/4 the once's from Rock auto are 2 in.
I could drill the backing plate, but a local NAPA is going to try and find a pair of wheel cylinders and have me come in and compare them side by side.
Have you looked into VPW? They should have the proper ones.

Are the inner fenders going to be attached to and tilt with the front clip?
No, they stay with the frame.

Another day...and another day not done. But I am closer. I just need to add a stop under the cab, build out a front bumper point, finish trimming up stuff, decide welding method where I grafted in cab corners, and add bumper holes. I did add another connection point up front. Hoping the driver side isn't 1.5 weeks like this has been.

You can’t beat the price and the Texas sun has the paint striped off. It may have a 51 title, but the dash is a 52-53. I’m not knowledgeable in B-Series, just an opinion.
Actually the dash center badge makes it a 51 or 52, the 53 had the plastic "DODGE" badge.
As for the truck project in general, brigning home and gettting back on the road some family history is fun!
