dodge 1946

Tim, Pics of tailgate i got from you last year, plus my trophies. Many thanks. See You Saturday..

On my 1946 WD20, the turn signals work off of the cowl lights.

Not sure on the axle ratio, but it low.. Top out about 52mph.

Thanks for the tips and advise..... bruce

OK I finally got a quart of 00EP grease. Question is how much should I put in the steering box. tks for all the help..

Slowly turned the adjustment screw and made a few test drives.. Stopped at two full turns of the adjustment screw. Steering is much better, but still a little play in the steering wheel. Thanks for the tips on where to get the 00EP grease. I found it online at Wally Mart, with no shipping cost. Will get it nest week.. Thanks again, bruce dodge

After draining the box and cleaning the years of grease buildup, I found the star washer. I made an adjustment and most of the play appears gone, but haven't been on the road yet. Local NAPA store did not know what 00 EP grease was. I see it on line, Guess ill fill it with 90 weight for now and give it a test drive. bruce dodge

Finally got the wheels painted and back on the truck. I took the cap off the steering box and exposed the adjustment screw. I DO NOT see a star shaped washer on the adjustment screw. The 90 weight oil is leaking out around the adjustment screw. I'm going to let it drain and make sure I didn't miss the star washer. Also thinking I'll get the 00 EP grease. How much grease would I use.?? . Any thoughts would be appreciated.... Thanks bruce dodge

Thanks for the replies, Jerry, your picture is exactly what mine looks like. I've got all of the wheels off now cleaning up and repainting them. steering box does leak the 90 weight as posted above. I'll just refill and keep an eye on it. Now that you have solved my mystery I will try to make a slight adjustment... Many Thanks, bruce dodge

My 1946 WD 20 steering wheel has lots of play, maybe 2 plus inches each way. Thought I would try to make an adjustment at the steering box. What I thought would be the adjustment screw and nut, on the inboard side of the steering box, appears to be just a 3/4 in bolt head. Not sure if this is a bolt or just a plug. I loosened it about one turn, but was leery of trying to take it all the way out. The only book I have shows an adjustment screw with a lock nut... any advise would be much appreciated...

9 Foot Box, Thanks for getting back to me and with a answer to my question..

With lots of time on my hands I decided to replaced the 73 year old wiring on my 1946 WD20. It was converted to 12 volt, years ago, with a 12 volt generator. I purchased a 9 circuit wiring harness from American Autowire. Just getting started and taking my time, hoping to do it correctly.. Finally my question, How do I remove the HIGH BEAM INDICATOR LIGHT, from the dash.?? It needs new bulb, plus new wiring.. Guessing it comes off from the rear, but hoping someone here can help. Thanks, bruce dodge

Tim, Is that u driving????

Pentronix, they matched up my dist. and easy install and zero problems. Mine is 12 volt , installed about 2 years ago.
