Thanks for your reply and research. I was able to find three pictures of my completed truck. The rest of the album seems to have been deleted. In the future I will be sure to back up any information and pictures that Thanks for your time and research. I did find three pictures of my finished truck. All other pictures, comments and information that was in my album must have been deleted. In the future I will be sure to backup all pictures and information. Thanks again

Is there anyway to access the older photo albums that we were able to post our pictures to, 5 or six years ago? Thanks

I have one if you need another.

Good idea. I'll have to go through my files and see if I can find the VIN number. I live in a small town and I think the local PD would do that for me. Thanks

To the top, still hoping for any chance encounters.

That is how it looked when I sold it. I think the next owner may have painted the running boards black. Time frame is like seven years ago for when I sold it.

I restored this truck over a two year period and enjoyed it for several years. I then sold it to a person in Maine. after a few years he sold it. I would like to know where it is. If anyone has seen it or has any information about it, please let me know. Thanks

The black truck with the Moxie sign was my truck before the restoration.

Before and after

Don't forget to put some permatex on the two bolts where the water came out of the bolt holes. If you forget to do this you will have a water leak when you get the engine running. My rebuilder forgot to do this when he put the engine back together after the rebuild and I did not notice the leak until after I had put the front of the truck all back together.

I'll buy one.

Look in the forum posts from a few weeks ago. I posted a source for the original type U-joint. I just bought two of them and they fit perfect.

I fixed it -- try it now.

I thought you car guys may be interested in the Plymoth for sale up in NH. Looks pretty good to me! PostingID: 1317888110

I picked up the drive shaft today along with a pair of new exact duplicate to original universal joints. I put everything back onto the truck and took her for a spin ------ WOW !! It feels like a new truck, no vibration at all. I ran her up to 55 and it was actually a pleasure to drive. The roads that I thought were too rough to drive on, now seem like new pavement. This week it will be easy to drive 30 miles one way to a cruise night. Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

I just got a call from my drive line shop and they say the problem is in the universal joint I bought from Roberts. The trunions are 1/8 inch to short and do not seat to the end of the bearing cups, therefore the play in all directions, that has caused my drive line vibration. The original Cleveland part # for the correct u-joint is P96-55-1 and I have not been able to find a true replacement. I see from my searching that you changed out your u-joints for Carquest Part# 1-5900 will they fit my '48 B1B??

After puting my '48 back on the road, a serious vibration developed in the drive line. I removed the driveshaft and brought all the relevant parts to Gilbert Drive Line Service in Manchester NH. They are supposed to be the best in NH. Here is the problem. The original sliding yoke and the splines on the drive shaft are toast and new originals are not to be found, neither is the yoke that come out of the rear end. So to build a new shaft the shop is going to use new parts for both ends of the drive shaft, however no one makes the part that is attached to the output shaft of the three speed or the part from the rear end. I know that I have read posts on this forum where someone has had a new shaft made for their truck and still used their original trans and rear end. If you could give me the name and phone number of the shop who did your shaft, my shop guy could call and get the part# for the trans output and the rear end or even better if you still have your invoice maybe the part numbers are on it?? It is very hard to have the truck all back together and looking great, but not being able to drive it. Thanks in advance!
