You should try Grainger.com they should have some at a lower price.

I had this problem also and I replaced the 180 thermostat with a 160 and now the engine starts good when it is hot

1950 218 oil pump low pressure
jpwuertz replied to Wayne Deluxe's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
I have a B3B with a 218 and have been running 30 wt non detergent oil in it. Would there be a problem if I switched to Rotella 15-40. I assume the Rotella would give the engine better wear protection than the 30wt that I currently use.. -
I think you could use a side grinder and grind the mushroomed part down so you could get the nut started. There should still be enough threads to hold everything together.

I purchased a new one at NAPA for my B3B and the price was reasonable.

This is the way I installed my fender welt and I based it on the from pictures in Don Bunn's book. The welt I used was from Dennis Carpenter ford restoration parts web side. I used the 1942 - 1947 style. It is a bit wider than the Dodge style and looks good.

1952 B3B with a 218 flat head.

That's interesting, you have the short one all the way to the front. All the write-ups and pictures that I have seen previously show the short one at the back. That is the way they were when I took the original floor out. When I got the truck the box floor had a metal plate over the original wood which leads me to believe they were installed at the factory in that order.

Here is the interior of my B3B with the Quiet ride kit installed. I had to paint it before installation. I am very satisfied with the way it looks.

I got the Dodges ready for the Minnesota summer season. The B3B started right up and was ready to go. The brakes were a bit sticky after setting all winter but after warming them up they are OK. The 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger is all original, except for the rims, and also started right up. It has a 318 engine. This was my aunt's car who lived in CA and therefor it has no rust.

50 B2B master cylinder rebuild question
jpwuertz replied to Iowaboy's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
Try a NAPA store for part number NMC M544 for the master cylinder. -
I use the NAPA1080 filter in my B3B and it fits in the canister fine. Your canister may be different than mine however.

You could try an impact wrench . If you do not have one you could probably rent or borrow one.
