1949 - My First (vintage) Dodge Truck


Recommended Posts

I drive past the exit to this place about once a month.   I'm typically on a schedule when driving past, but it's only about an hour from me - maybe I'll make time to take a leisure drive up there one day.  Looks like decent stuff, but at close to $5 per foot for 5/16 and over $10 per foot for half inch (vacuum lines for brake boosters for example),  yes, it's pretty spendy.

 

My truck is the same except a '50 (B2) instead of a 49 (B1) and uncut.  

unfortunately, I've been moving around the country due to Job for the last 6 years, and except for running my truck annually, I haven't done anything to it / For it.  Life happens.

Check around. It's getting to be quite common. I've seen 25ft rolls for about 30-35

Hoping to tinker with the 49 this weekend.  I have a few antique tractors. I'll borrow the battery of one. 

With that said, would someone let me know what the charging systems were in these trucks?  6 or 12 volt, positive or negative ground?
