Dodgeb4ya Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 The wheels are... the mirror and the gas cap are not factory originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpartington Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hey thanks for pointing out the gas cap I was pretty sure that was not. But what do factory mirrors look like then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Shepard Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I could be wrong, but I think the mirrors very-well could be original. Check out Bunn's book... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los_Control Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I thought mine are original, but only because of the way they mount on the hinges. A aftermarket seems would have different mounting options to fit different vehicles. And the difference between mine and the original posters mirrors are the heads. Mine are rectangle where the op is round. I imagine that there would be many after market options available for the heads. So which was original, round or rectangle?

Jim Shepard Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 As far as I can determine, these are the correct mirror arms for B1 through B4 series one-half ton trucks. The first photo shows the correct arms for the B1 and B2 series, driver and passenger side. The second photo shows the arm for B3 and B4 trucks. The mirror heads were generally round, but could be easily replaced with square or rectangular. I think, but I'm not sure (I haven't looked at Bunn's book in awhile), that the bracket or arm in the second photo generally came on C and D models in all years in the B series line.

Also the OP truck is a bit on the large size. My 1/2 ton parts truck only has remnants of a mirror bracket on the passenger side hinge, nothing to look at and see what was originally there.

jpartington Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 thanks for the info. So it would appear that my mirrors are indeed factory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to find a better picture later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Shepard Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I guess after so many years and so many add-on's and after-market stuff, it's hard to keep it straight. I have seen the one in your photo, but didn't know what it was from. I knew I'd seen the metal tube type on the larger trucks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBNeal Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) From Bunn's Bible p.154, before 1950 all wheels were black; cream became std for B C and D models from late 1950 thru '57 with black optional; all other models black was std Edited January 26, 2017 by JBNeal added hyperlinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpartington Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 I think this appears to be the correct ash tray. Can anyone verify that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpartington Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Also regarding the ash tray how does it mount? Is there a slide system that I would also need to find? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
