Oops,my wrong thread.

It doesn't look like a truck but is based on a truck chassis....?

Here is a pic of the dash instruments,

Hi Andy, I can't be 100% sure that my assumptions are correct at all, its all based on google imagines I have seen so far. The dash instruments are not the same as any '37 car Dodge, they seem to be same as a truck, as I said the engine number starts with T38...., not D.. It is a MC model on the registration which I believe is the truck chassis code for that yet, the petrol/gas tank is under the front seat. I have no idea about the windscreen frame, I haven't seen one the same on google as yet. A convertible sedan seems to be very hard to find many pics of, I haven't been able see one on a truck chassis. I haven't received the car yet, next week when I do, I will look for a plate or stamping, but the bloke who I purchased it from, did the restore and he doesn't know the body builder. Yes, I have been keeping an eye on it for some time too. Its been a Maryborough QLD car from day one, so a little sad to take it down to Brisbane, 3 hours away.

I did see the rear window curtains when I inspected it before Xmas, let's hope they all arrive with the car next week. I will post more pics when it arrives.

Yep, does have all the curtains. Hopefully being so unique, the information on the body builder will turn up.

Yes, a small gasless mig is useful for small fabs. You could make up a prototype by tack welding thin steel and take it to a engineering shop to make the end product.

Unfortunately, like our '28 we have no documentation on who built the body. The bloke who restored it 10-15years ago has lots of history on it but does not know who was the builder in here in Oz. Some of the Oz members may have seen it advertised for sale, it's a very interesting style which caught my eye, will look well with our '28. It's interesting that it's based on a Dodge truck chasis, dash/firewall forward is a truck but the cabin looks more like a '34 styling. No boot/trunk in the rear. The cabin is timber framed not all steal. The engine has the truck serial ie T38****

He means....buggered

Does anyone know the filter element used in the VPW military Jr housings?

1937 Dodge MC tourer.

Yeah nah.

Thanks. It's one vehicle but could be classified in either forum. ????

Here in Australia we love our prawns (not shrimps) for xmas, but also cherries, which were very popular with me this year. I ate so much that I had to see a doctor, they lasted for two days afterward. Interestingly, the doc diagnosed two different bugs, one from the cherries - diarrhea, and other was the common vintage bug. I asked, 'is it serious this time doc?' he said, ' in your case very serious, almost life changing.' The deal is not complete yet but hopefully will be in the next few days. I will be officially a proper member on this forum, either the P15-D24 and/or the Truck forum. I will keep it a mystery until it is 100%, I don't want to jinx it.

I bought ford model a studs for my '28. The short ones were about 1/2" longer and had to use a washer under nut, which is not the end of the world.

"this may or may not help"

simple and elegant.

The same starter will use the same amount of amps on 6 volts or 12 volts on the same engine. I am afraid this is a myth.

If you need some info on the '33 Plymouth, this website might be useful - http://www.ply33.com/ ? Apparently he is a top bloke too.

Very cool guys, I do wedding work with my '28 on a full time basis.

Could you not re-route the top hose?

FYI, Ohms laws doesn't work well when there is an electric motor in the circuit. The current (amps) draw is directly related to the mechanical resistance to the motor ie., the fan air resistance. You will find the current (amps) draw will be very similar when connected with 6 or 12 volts, yeah I know, it doesn't sound right. The higher voltage will spin the fan faster. You may have to experiment with a few resistor values to get the speed correct if the fan speed is important to you.

Why did you choose a 6 ohm resistor?

Why not have both. Ammeter is great when you get a short, will show a discharge. It's movements can indicate issues.

If your spark plugs are white then check the fuel mixture in the carb.
